Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan｜HOP FROG CAFE

We found this place by pure chance while walking around, and got hooked by the cool name and beautiful logo with a double reference to hops and bear and Edgar Allan Poe's novel. We had a great time trying several amazing craft beers and a suite of wonderful coffees. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable and very good with English, so we even got interesting explanations on the different products and how the shop got its name. Absolutely the kind of place I'd come back to when wanting to taste some new and wonderful beers and coffee.

Excellent spot! Friendly owners who speak English. Great beer and coffee selection as well as food and other specialty drinks such as nitro green tea (which is what I got). We got the dirty fries! We look forward to coming back here again.

We really enjoyed the decor and ambiance of this cafe. The coffee was brewed through unique methods and served in custom glasses specifically made to enhance taste, comfort and aroma. The service was very friendly and the lady and gentlemen that attended to us spoke good English. I highly recommend visiting this cafe if you want to warm up and experience the delightful atmosphere.
