aso coffee shop — Restaurant in Aso

What a lovely find. Yama-san and his Belgian wife opened this place 3 months ago after living in Osaka for 25 years. He makes artisanal coffee, carefully measuring out the portions and making sure the temperature and timings are right to give you a perfect cuppa...One unhurried cup at a time. His mocha brought new life into me on a freezing winter night and his latte and hot chocolate were also superb according to my wife and sons. We walked in after 7pm and he entertained us even though he had a family party next door. (I must have looked real cold).

Parking is free in the open space opposite his shop.

Thanks for being so nice to us Yama-San even though you had a family dinner party to attend next door. God bless you and your family with the gift of making people smile and spreading happiness. Hope mum knows how much you love...

The coffee shop sits along the main street, ample parking right across. Ambience is 10/10, quiet with jazz beats playing in the background and a view of the world passing by.

It opens 0800-2000 daily, but is closed on Mondays. Don’t miss this gem when...
