Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan｜taoca coffee

Definitely the best coffee speciality store and roastery in the area! I especially like their Indonesian coffee beans. Not the cheapest shop, but if you want high-quality speciality coffee beans, freshly-roasted, this is the right shop for you. The staff are also very friendly and offer you to taste all their different coffee beans. That’s a great chance to find out about different tastes and flavors. They also have a generous point system and after a few purchases you get 100g for free.

Roasted (I think) and blended in the shop The Kurakuen blend is now my favourite coffee. The owner is friendly and helpful (in English) and he obviously loves what he does for a living. I have tried a few of the speciality coffee shops around Ashiya/Nishinmiya and he is definitely the best. Worth the short trip.

Great taste, some various original drinks like coffee with soda, good service and friendly staff. You can sit and have drinks and coffees besides buying various beans.
