Welcome to Sanatorium - Wonder Museum Annex, a captivating cafe nestled in the heart of Tenjin, Fukuoka, Japan. If you're in search of a truly unique dining experience that intertwines the whimsical with the creepy, then this enchanting establishment is your destination.

Sanatorium stands out not just for its charming decor but also for its delightful offerings. As you step through the door—after removing your shoes and donning cozy slippers—you'll immediately be enveloped in a world that feels crafted for the curious soul. Each corner of the cafe is festooned with intricate artwork and intriguing medical curiosities, making it a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate.

When it comes to the menu, patrons rave about the delicious pudding and refreshing cranberry juice. One customer, 'やさ', praised the pudding for being “delicious” and highlighted that the drinks are set at a remarkably reasonable price of 1200 yen for a two-hour dining experience. For those who love a blend of creativity and nostalgia, the napolitan pasta, although simple, is satisfying and adds a touch of familiarity to the experience.

The ambiance at Sanatorium is a contemplative mix of intriguing and quirky, making it especially appealing to fans of subculture and alternative art. As noted by 'saan longisland', the owner—who is a talented sculptor—often engages with guests, sharing stories that enrich the overall experience. The cafe is often described as a "concept cafe," which offers not only tasty treats but also an artistic display that patrons can enjoy as they sip their beverages and delve into conversations.

Furthermore, waiting can be part of the charm here; '鳥助' highlighted that while it may take some time for your order, there are ample displays and notebooks scattered throughout for guests to jot down thoughts or marvel at the decor. The smell wafting through the stairs hints at the unique atmosphere waiting for you at the top.

'Katherine Buckhaults' succinctly sums it up: this cafe is perfect for anyone looking for something fun, cute, and delightfully creepy. So, if you're in Fukuoka and seek an extraordinary cafe experience that tickles your fancy for the unusual, Sanatorium - Wonder Museum Annex awaits you!

Such a cool and unique creepy cafe! The food is so cute and tasty, you won't run out of things to look at in the cafe, every corner is decorated intricately with art and interesting medical or creepy little things.

雰囲気が面白くてちょくちょく伺ってます 映え?だけどサブカル方面で入りやすい 階段登ってる途中からもう独特の匂いがしてくるので病院の匂いが苦手な人は無理かも 基本ワンオペでかなり待つ事が多いけど展示見たりノート書いたりしてます だいたいいつもプリンとクランベリージュース 普通に美味しい 過去に1度だけ本当に激しいまでの甘さな時が有ったのですが今思えば分量ミスだったのかなぁ

サブカル感あふれる面白いコンカフェ。オーナーさんは造形作家さんで色々お話してくれます。先客で常連さんがいましたが、気さくに話してくれて初訪問ですが、色んなサブカル系施設も紹介くださって楽しかったです。 ナポリタンとドリンクセットで、ナポリタンはスーパーで買えるやつでしたが、御愛嬌。美味しくいただきました。 置いてあるものがめちゃくちゃレトロで面白いので、興味ある方はぜひ一度足を運んでみては。 ポイント貯まると景品と交換できます。その他、作家さんの、展示販売とかグッズ販売もあります。

飛び込みでお邪魔しました。玄関で靴を脱いでスリッパにはきかえるスタイルです。 店長さんお一人で大変そうでしたが(すみません)、プリン美味しいし9割生のフルーツ使ってるし飲み物とセットで1200円で二時間制はこのご時世激安では…?となりました。 良心的なお値段な分営業時間は限られていますが、予め早めの時期ならSNSのアカウントで営業時間ご相談に乗ってくださるみたいです。 流行りのコンカフェって意味ではなく、本来の意味?のコンセプトカフェって感じです。テーマカフェっていうのかな…雰囲気もサブカル好きなら楽しいです。私はとても楽しかったです。
