☕️ Enjoy the street food culture in Hakata! A late-night coffee and bar.
The day before heading to Hakata, I happened to see a video introducing this shop, a seasonal coffee bar stall. After having dinner, I casually came here to relax.
In Hakata, there are many lively stalls at night, mostly serving ramen and izakaya-style food. The customers and the owners at the stalls chat with each other, although I have seen some comments that might not be very friendly towards foreigners. However, there was absolutely no issue here! The owner was quite calm, but not unfriendly; it felt like we were all just enjoying our quiet time together, and the menu had everything in English too.
Since it's set up like a half-bar, there is a basic seating fee of 300 yen. If you order alcoholic drinks, they provide some snacks. For coffee, they have mini donuts.
I went there for two consecutive days and tried the most popular drink, the "coffee highball," and their signature crafted coffee.
The cocktails are not the watered-down kind you find at typical izakaya; they are genuinely strong! There were quite a few types of gin available on site, and I met several regulars who ordered multiple drinks. If you like gin, I definitely recommend checking it out!
Sipping drinks at a roadside stall is really quite pleasant. I asked the owner how long it takes to set up and take down the stall, and it takes nearly 2 hours each time. If you arrive around 5 PM, you can even see the stall being set up!
