Still Thinking Coffee Nagoya Review

While walking around the Fushimi area in central Nagoya, I came across a café that had caught my attention for quite some time — Still Thinking Coffee.

What first drew me in was its eye-catching yellow roof and the relaxed atmosphere of people enjoying their time on the terrace. It looked like the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time.

Located about a 10-minute walk from Fushimi Station, this café sits quietly in one of Nagoya’s business districts. The name “Still Thinking Coffee” reflects the owner’s ongoing pursuit of the perfect cup — a concept that immediately intrigued me.

Their specialty is charcoal-roasted coffee, which gives their beans a distinctive depth of flavor.

I decided to visit on a weekday afternoon. The café was calm, with only three other customers inside, creating a peaceful and relaxed environment. The interior had a stylish Latin-inspired design, and the soft sofa seating reminded me a bit of Komeda’s Coffee — spacious and incredibly comfortable.

Since their coffee is known for its deep roast profile, I chose the darkest roast available on the menu. The coffee was carefully prepared using a hand-drip method, showing real attention to detail.

The result was a bold, intensely deep flavor — quite the opposite of the lighter, fruitier style you might find at places like Trunk Coffee. If you enjoy strong, rich coffee, this place will definitely stand out.

The quiet atmosphere made it easy to relax, and I noticed a local office worker ordering lunch nearby. He chose taco rice and enjoyed it outside on the terrace, which looked like a perfect way to spend the afternoon.

I had such a comfortable and satisfying experience that I’m already planning to come back — next time, I’ll definitely try the taco rice myself.
