Taoca Coffee Rokko

TAOCA COFFEE Rokko (https://www.instagram.com/taocacoffee_rokko) in Kobe opened on December 3, 2021. It sits between Hankyu Rokko Station and JR Rokkomichi Station, making it easy to reach on foot from either location. The shop is positioned as a specialty coffee stand and also serves as the first location paired with TAOCA COFFEE’s sweets brand, THE BRANTA BAKE STORE.

From the outside, the cafe is tucked into a compact urban streetscape along the road connecting the two stations, giving it the feel of a neighborhood coffee stop rather than a large destination shop. Inside, the space feels bright thanks to its large windows, with a minimalist layout that functions partly as a showcase for coffee, coffee-related goods, and sweets. On the right, beside the kitchen, where customers can watch the sweets being prepared, there’s a long bench running along the windows, offering a place to sit and enjoy coffee and desserts.

The menu centers on specialty coffee, highlighting carefully roasted beans and a range of coffee drinks, with takeout available. On the sweets side, the offerings include BRANTA’s signature cheesecake along with other baked goods designed to pair with coffee.

It’s a stylish coffee shop where you can enjoy carefully brewed coffee and delicious sweets, perfect for a relaxed break or a quick treat during the day.
