For me, Yuru Camp is one of them (and almost an obligatory answer).

I have many.
The top spot is probably shared by Interviews with Monster Girls and Machikado Mazoku.
But then:
Bofuri. Bocchi the Rock. Hinamatsuri. Girls und Panzer. Gabriel Dropout. Sakura Quest. Patlabor. Mitsuboshi Colors.
Not an anime, but Bee and Puppycat is peak comf.
Non Non Biyori for me
Sleepy princess in the demon castle is mine!
Yuru Camp is definitely the top one for me. Then Girls und Panzer and Bocchi the Rock. I pretty much just cycle through those.
Robotics;Notes is really comfy, even though it actually does have a plot.
K-ON! is pretty great, I remember it being quite comfy, too. Haven’t rewatched it in a while, though, maybe it’s more hyper than I remember - there was no Yuru Camp to compare it to when I first watched it.
Azumanga Daioh, Spy x Family
Surprised Nichijou hasn’t been mentioned yet.
Was confused when my brain read that as “Yuri Camp” X.x
Barakamon for me. MC moves to a remote island to rebuild himself with support from the charming and weird small town locals
Isekai Isakaya - short miniseries about a western style restaurant that has its front door connected to a singular spot in another world. It also has little real life cooking lessons at the end of each episode.
Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater - it’s one of the awwducational animes that I feel like the Japanese government pays for to introduce younger generations to traditional/outdoorsy activities. This one is about fishing.
Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost - it’s just a moe so sugary sweet it hurts.
Kuma Kuma Kuma bear! - it’s a fluffy isekai that doesn’t have any real stakes or anything too severe happening. I’m working through the light novel since I heard it finished… And honestly it’s all so pleasant.
Ya boy Kongming - silly musical anime that just drops some three kingdoms lore into the modern day. I don’t recommend dubbed as they didn’t localize the rap battle towards the end… And also didn’t subtitle it.
Restaurant to Another World. Kind of a reverse-isekai
My list of favourite wholesome anime: Peak Wholesomeness
Most comfy for me would K-On, with The Demon Girl Next Door and Bofuri being strong contenders.
Another good comfy anime that others haven’t mention is 'Tis Time for Torture, Princess.
“Comfy”? My go-to answer would be Aria (the Animation, the Natural, the Origination), but lately, that has been matched by Natsume Yuujinchou as my go-to when I just want to relax. There’s also “Tanaka-kun is Always Listless” but it has enough humor that breaks the “relaxing” mood. Bakaramon might be a better match, but it isn’t really fitting the bill.
Thus, my answer would be these two:
- Aria (the Animation, the Natural, the Origination)
- Natsume Yuujinchou
That time I was reincarnated as a slime
Probably Hanayamata all in all, though most CGDCTs would qualify, and that’s one of my favorite genres, so I have a long list of them.
