Poool – Hidden cafe in Sakae, Nagoya

A hidden café located on the basement floor of Nadya Park.

The café I’m introducing this time is called Poool. The space is small but quiet, making it ideal for people who want to work or study. However, the entrance can be a bit tricky to find. It’s located in the basement of a building called Nadya Park. Nadya Park is a commercial building located in Sakae and Yaba-cho in Nagoya City, known for its very bold and eye-catching design.

The interior of Nadya Park looks like this—its design is intricate and complex. It’s recommended for those who appreciate modern architecture.

The entrance, as shown in the photo above, is located underground, making it a bit hard to find.

There were about ten customers that day, so I tried to take photos of the café interior with as few people as possible in the shot. The space can accommodate around twenty people.

I had a Guatemalan coffee, which was refreshing and delicious. This café has free power outlets, making it perfect for working on a laptop.
