Opened on 12 April 2025 is Haim Coffee (instagram.com/haim_coffee_salon), nestled in Osaka’s Nishitanabe area on a short walk from Midosuji Line - Nishitanabe Station. The café sits a long a quiet street on the bottom floor of a large manshion just parallel to Abiko-suji, making it easy accessible. Haim Coffee operates as both a café and a private hair salon, seamlessly blending a space for enjoying specialty coffee and baked treats with a hair salon run by the owner’s wife. The name "Haim" comes from the German word for "home," which perfectly captures the feeling this establishment evokes.

The interior design has been done by the masters of Transform Inc, (who also did Common and Ue). Stepping inside, guests are greeted by an interior that strikes a balance between cool minimalism and the warmth of natural materials. The design is both stylish and inviting, with a clean, modern aesthetic softened by gentle wooden touches, an atmosphere that feels both fresh and comforting.

The shop’s philosophy centers on providing not just good coffee, but a place where people can feel at home and cared for.
