WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A pioneering coffee house that introduced Nagoya's first in-house roasted coffee back in 1972.
Just a 5-minute walk from Nagoya Station, this beloved cafe has been drawing regulars in their 90s for over 52 years.
Its signature toast — crowned with house-made confiture, fresh cream and sweet red bean — is unlike anything else in the city, and the full morning set costs under 1,000 yen.
Lines form before the 7 a.m.
opening, with waits reaching 45 minutes in early 2025.
A Tabelog Kissaten Top 100 honoree for 2021 and 2022, this is widely regarded as the birthplace of Nagoya's revered morning coffee culture.
