Hiraoka Coffee - Osaka-Shi, Kita-Ku

Chances upon this shop and intrigue with the 100 year old tag! A small lovely joint and very friendly English speaking owner. Ordered the Columbia medium roast and donut. The coffee is grind and tasted beautiful, full body and aroma. The donut is on the harder type but goes well with the coffee. Going to make this my regular joint!

The coffee is nice but not surprisingly good, it’s a cozy cafe with old style decoration. However, it didn't make any pleasant experience because of the poor service from the foreign hostess in Japanese traditional costom, the way she yelled at me for dont taking photo of her (which i was not was the rudest , it’s totally unacceptable when everybody speaks so softly with great manner in this beautiful city. She ruined the day of mine and also the lovely 100 years coffee house.

If there is no empty seat, you can hear the woman in the kitchen yell at the customer. I can not take you. The irritated western woman in traditional Japanese costume is ruining the atmosphere of 100 year old coffee shop. It is very odd to watch her making coffee in the 100 year old cafe.

English menu is available. It is cozy and ancient. Hundred’s year blend hot is mellow, not dark. Mixed fruit is very good.

Small space and they won't accomodate a group bigger than 4. I had a coffee while the rest of my group went elsewhere. Hundred year blend is great though.
