Good place to talk with friends with delicious coffee

I was invited by my friends to a tea gathering at QOL Coffee. It’s a small but cozy cafe with a warm atmosphere, and both the coffee and food were delicious. I’d highly recommend it to international visitors as a great spot to enjoy after a walk in Hisaya Odori Park.

The cafe shelves are lined with various coffee-related items. Some of them are available for purchase, so it’s worth checking with the owner. There are also records on display, which reflect the owner’s personal taste, making the space even more interesting.

This cafe was established in 2017. The owner studied at various cafes and has a particular focus on sourcing coffee beans and the roasting process. The coffee I had this time was a deep roast, offering a rich and full-bodied flavor—quite different from the lighter trends often seen in Nagoya’s stylish cafes. The sandwiches were also delicious. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy with a group of 3–4 people.
