Coffee shop • 3-chōme-8-15 Koyanose, Yahatanishi Ward, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka 807-1261, Japan
Koyase is a small post town in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Along the Nagasaki Highway, there is a white-walled street that exudes a nostalgic atmosphere, and here lies Cafe 88. As you are invited by the charming curtain at the entrance, you will step into the renovated old folk house, where a serene atmosphere and a warm welcome from the proprietor await you.
The interior of the cafe makes good use of its quaint design, offering spacious sofas and tatami seats. As you listen to the sound of the water basin reminiscent of a small garden, savoring a cafe latte and dessert, it feels as if time has stood still. You can almost feel the time when travelers passing through the street would stop by.
The proprietor speaks cheerfully about the history of Koyase and the streets, exuding a love for the local area. This stay-type cafe time allows you to feel the historical value and the charm of the town, a unique experience only available here.
The popular lunch menu includes a hearty hamburger. On the other hand, the dessert parfait may bring some subtle surprises, with differences between the menu description and the actual item. Due to the small size of the shop, you can expect some interesting family-like warm anecdotes.
As there are irregular days off for shopping, it is recommended to check the business hours in advance through official SNS, etc. An encounter with a hideaway cafe that allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in a leisurely flow of time awaits you here.
