[2025 Kobe Restaurant] Travel Guide for Blue Bottle Coffee (Updated Aug)

#October Good Places 2024 Many people to Japan must go to the cafe is "BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE", why is blue bottle coffee popular? Coffee is the name of a chain of coffee companies and its stores owned by Nestlé Corporation, headquartered in Oakland, California. At the Blue Bottle of Hakata Tenjin, come in the morning to try breakfast; extremely crowded but very orderly, wait a while to get in. Hand-brewed coffee is smooth and delicate very good, the taste is unique and makes people have a pleasant feeling.

If you're looking for a café in Kobe, you might have heard of Blue Bottle. They offer a seasonal drink that caught my attention, so I ordered a Yuzu Latte, and it tastes amazing. If you've been walking and need a break before continuing your journey, I recommend stopping here. The service is excellent! #bluebottle #kobe #travel

Just in time before closing, I visited this Blue Bottle in Kobe~ Since it was already evening, I decided to skip coffee and opted for a Lemon Soda instead~ They have an English menu specifically designed for foreigners, making ordering convenient~ The staff were also very friendly 👍🏾👍🏾 Inside the store, there's a small merchandise section where you can buy popular items like thermos bottles and mugs~ Overall, it's a great space to relax~ 📍Address: 1 Maemachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0039, Japan 🕰️Business Hours: 0800-1900

#japantrip I came to Japan to travel again after a month 🇯🇵 And they are all in Kansai and start from Kobe🛬 There are actually two Blue Bottle stores in Kobe😮 The one I went to last month was actually not the one I bookmarked 😅 The restaurant I want to go to is not marked on Google Map lol📍 Anyway, the next visit to Kobe coffee tour starts from here🚶🏻♂️ A coffee shop in the basement of Hankyu Department Store🏢 The five white canopies facing the path are very eye-catching🏠 The store has cement floors and walls with wooden tables and chairs🪑 The fabric sofa is mainly blue, echoing the brand color of Blue Bottle Coffee🛋️ The spacious space is like a lounge in a department store👀 I tried the avocado basil leaf tomato cheese toast which is only available in this store🥪 The unique aroma of perilla leaves is very refreshing 😌 Coffee uses Columbia single origin beans🫘 I didn't order oat milk but it smells like oatmeal☕️ The breakfast set also comes with a small bowl of rich tomato soup🍅🥣 Very suitable for the warm and cold morning 😬 #foodie #food

Coffee’s better, interior is newer, cleaner & cooler (designed by an architect). The interior takes a minimalist approach with white and natural wood tones, the staff are highly professional, stylish, and very friendly. The coffee is quite delightful too. During the holiday season I do recommend trying the Holiday Blend, but both the drip options and espresso options are quite delightful. They also offer a small assortment of baked goods, which are of a similarly high caliber as the coffee. The staff are friendly, & when I had wifi trouble, they made an extra effort to help me. #japantrip #coffeelovers #kobe
