Osaka, Japan｜Lino and Aia Coffee Juso Roastery

This is our favorite cafe from our three weeks trip to Japan & Korea back in March and one of the favorite places overall in the trip. Everything just felt great the moment we stepped in, the smell of fresh coffee, the smile and friendliness, the whole layout just felt welcoming. The coffee is easily the best we've had in Japan and would be a great coffee anywhere it would be (I live in Melbourne, there's a huge coffee culture here with great cafes meters away from each other everywhere. Lino & Aia cafe would fit here very well and still be one of the top cafes!). We liked it so much, that we asked Lino to take a picture with us and wanted to buy coffee beans for when we get home (my parents ended up taking it - in the photo having some back in Romania where they live), which Lino ended up offering it to us for free. I still feel slightly guilty for accepting that! Only thing we wish was that it opened earlier, so we could have started all our days with a coffee here. By 9am, most days we were already on our way, so we only managed to go in twice. We would have been there every day if it started at 7 or 8am. All the best, hopefully see you next time we're in Osaka!

Great coffee with a Hawaiian vibe! Such a nice place to grab a cup of coffee and you can also get fresh roasted beans too! They also accept digital payment, I’m so glad I dropped by! This place would be one of my recommended places, clean and very quick service! Plus they also have vegan, gluten free cookies! I recommend the choco-chip ones! You can also get the to-go cups, mine was dine-in and look at that latte art! Will definitely be back!

Wonderful ambiance with Hawaiian music playing in the background. The oat milk mocha is by far THE BEST MOCHA I've ever had. Definitely worth the slight wait.
