Kumamoto is really a paradise for hidden cafes! Every time I come here, I find new surprises. This time I want to share my pocket list with you~ I have been to these shops several times. Each one has its own unique story and charm, which makes people visit again and again🥰
#1 Licht
Coffee is a high-end coffee shop near Kumamoto Station! The boutique coffee beans provided by sister store Gluck, paired with Superman puffs, are a perfect match for afternoon tea. Cold brew is a must in spring and summer, and a warm hand brew is a must in autumn and winter. The lighting in the store is great, and every corner is great for taking photos. It is a must-visit check-in spot every time I come to Kumamoto!
📍2-2-22 Kasuga, Nishi-ku, Kumamoto City
#2 Gluck Coffee Spot
A double-story wooden coffee shop converted from an old building in the 1970s, hidden in a warm corner in a small alley. Gluck means lucky in German. Drink a cup of freshly roasted coffee here and feel the little happiness in life. The seating area on the second floor is super comfortable. I often sit there for an entire afternoon, watching the sun shine in, and time seems to slow down. The staff are all very friendly, and I can feel the human touch every time I come here!
📍5-52 Joto-cho, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City
#3 Coffee Gallery
Coffee time in a century-old Japanese house! You can choose your favorite raw beans and ask the store to roast them on site, paired with authentic Japanese desserts, and completely immerse yourself in the nostalgic atmosphere🍵 I love the strong retro flavor here. Every time I come here, I feel like I'm traveling through time and space~ I recommend everyone to try the coffee roasted on site, the aroma is really special!
📍20 Nishi-Tangjinmachi, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City
#4 ShiOn
The representative of the craftsman spirit of the coffee shop! Master Toshiro has been hand-brewing coffee for 40 years, and the shop also has a collection of various exquisite coffee utensils. Every time I come, I can learn new knowledge from Toshiro. His passion for coffee is really contagious! I love to slowly choose my favorite cup here and enjoy my own coffee time~ I recommend his Blend Coffee, every cup is full of craftsman spirit!
📍5-46, Kamidori-cho, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City
