Blue Bottle Coffee - Kobe Cafe — Restaurant in Kobe

This place is an excellent example of the growing artisan coffee trends.

The company is based in California. Currently, there are 10 cafés throughout Japan.

Minimalist and bright interior is apparently one of distinctive factors that makes blue bottle standing out from the rest of cafés.

All employees are well equipped with both coffee and customer service skills. They are friendly, helpful and welcoming the guests in such a warm way that comforts guests.

They provide single origin coffee that are brewed using pour over method. I tried Kenyan single origin coffee. The taste was excellent, just what you expect from high quality beans.

Prices for similar drinks are generally in par with most cafés. Cappuccino costs ¥500 and single origin costs ¥550. The serving size for single origin is quite generous, 360 ml compare to around 225 ml in most cafés. Therefore, blue bottle, in my opinion, represents an excellent value...

There are areas for children here, so often families come here with their little children who shout and play around. You can’t have both: a quality speciality coffee shop AND a family restaurant at the same time. At many times, it is impossible to calmy relax and enjoy your coffee or read anything here.

Original review:

If you are into speciality coffee, this is the place to go to. They have selected coffee beans, freshly roasted, ground and brewed. This is high-class speciality coffee. But they also charge you accordingly, which is fair considering the quality. I dont recommend eating there though, because their food is over-priced. A slice of pound cake for 750Y?
