HAIKU Coffee Roasters

Aloha from Nakazakicho! Welcome to the new ‘Haiku Coffee Roasters’.

Moved from a quiet alley near the Tengo Nakazaki Shopping street, HAIKU Coffee Roasters is now located on a 5 minute walk from Tenjinbashi 6-Chome station along a quiet residential road in the 2-Chome area.

The space is a bit larger than the old place with a different layout where the kitchen is now near the entrance and much bigger. The rest of the space has a more balanced seating space for the customers.

Similar to the old place the new cafe’s color scheme remains unchanged with a focus on it’s trademark peacock blue color. However, since the new location has more space in front of the shop and also an extra window in the back of the café, a lot of light can reach inside which gives it a warmer atmosphere.

All the furniture, Haiku’s roasting machine, Hawaiian decoration and kitchen counter are brought over from the old place but the customers now have an extra brass countertop where they can enjoy their drink while talking with the owners and see how they carefully prepare the drinks with their stylish brass tools.

The entrance and interior are spacious so even welcoming for people with strollers or wheelchairs. The café has counter and table seats as well as two small benches right in front of the kitchen for up to 16 people.

Haiku, contrary to popular belief, is not the Japanese type of poetry but is the name of a town in Maui where the owner’s wife is originally from. They both run HAIKU Coffee Roasters together.

On the menu are a few different drip coffees, chai tea, craft beer and homemade ginger ale. For food they have bagels, a brownie and a original Haiku banana bread.

HAIKU Coffee Roasters is the ideal café to have a drink, eat some sweets and relax or to have a nice chat with the friendly owners.
