China beans was perfect, but if you want to try something else there’re a lot of different beans as well!

Had a Columbian hand brew roasted by Glitch Tokyo, a well known roastery. I’ve had the opportunity to visit Glitch when in Tokyo and can confirm they did the coffee full justice. It was an anerobic fermented processed coffee with floral and citrus notes which it fully lived up to, without the over powering fermented taste that sometimes accompanies coffees of this processing method.

The overall atmosphere is quite nice and cozy. Tired their non coffee drinks and honestly they were just ok. Iced matcha latte is a bit diluted. Hot chocolate is also not so concentrated. The pudding is delicious though but that's about it. Maybe we should try their drip coffee that they are famous for.

I would have rated it 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. The latte at 600¥, the single espresso at 400¥... It's the most expensive i've tried in Fukuoka. BUT I have to say, it is very good though... The staff is very nice, the coffee was excellent.

Tried drip coffee no. 3 and 9. Very expressive nose and good aftertaste. Price is above average in Fukuoka but worth a try. They allow smoking so beware of the smell when you taste your coffee.

A lot of different light roast coffee to choose is good. Located near by bustling road so you hard to have a quiet break. Also can smell smoke comes from somewhere, not really a good place to taste coffee slowly. But coffee itself is good, I’ll take out next time.
