Higashide Coffee — Restaurant in Kanazawa

Despite the heavy hail, my friend and I braved the weather and walked to this cafe for breakfast. . I got Pudding and Hot Mocha Java. With a caramelised topping, the pudding consisted of an abundant amount of vanilla beans. It had a smooth texture and tasted rich.

The Hot Mocha Java had a flavor profile that combined of chocolate and nutty almond. It slight bitterness complemented the sweetness of the pudding well.

My friend ordered Toast with Butter & Jam and Hot Cappuccino Cinnamon. The toast looked appealing with its thick slices and golden crust. It had a delightful crispiness and was hotly-served.

The Hot Cappuccino Cinnamon had a creamy appearance and a fragrant aroma, but she felt that the flavour was not strong enough. . Adorned in a vintage and retro-style, the cafe offered a cozy and tranquil atmosphere for its customers to enjoy their food and coffee, especially with the dark wooden furniture. Also, the warmth of the cafe provided a welcome respite from the coldness we endured during the hail. . The cafe was popular, so we had to wait for a while before we...

Old school coffee salon. Good service though everyone seems a bit frantic and rushed, even though they were a team of four people, and the shop was half empty.

A lot of choice in beans. I went for an Ethiopian. It's all filter, all fine. But the coffee had a distinctly old fashioned roast going on. It seems they roast in-house. Bitter, almost burnt, and mostly the taste of the roast, not a lot of the fruitiness of the cherry.

The interior is beautiful though, and the people running the place are dedicated. Smoking is allowed, and done so by the many locals that visit here.

If you want a sort of film noir experience, come here. If you crave good coffee, consider other places.

I went here cus this place is featured on goodcoffee.me , an otherwise reliable source of great coffee places in Japan and around. Kanazawa is just lacking a little bit in...

Dark wooden furniture, smooth and round from the years. The air is smokey, giving the place a bit of a jazz bar feel. At the counter sits an old couple, chatting with the baristas behind the bar. The seats fill up with elegantly dressed ladies and men in business suits having their morning coffee (and stocking up on coffee beans). Another old man comes in, the couple at the counter greets him, obviously old friends, and make space for him at the counter. We came in for breakfast on a rainy weekday morning, and found that they have more than 20 kinds of coffee but just 2 choices for food - we ordered both, a caramel pudding and a thick toast with butter and jam. The pudding was delicious, the burnt sugar taste just right with a cup of coffee. The toast was perfectly done as well - well buttered. I had the Yemeni coffee, it was very nice, without...
