Aoi Celestie — Restaurant in Nagoya

This being a fairly new cafe, I was really excited to check it out.

The first thing that you notice is the stunning exterior. It's unlike any other building I've ever seen in Nagoya. It's striking blue roof and uneven architecture draw your eye to it. The interior is no less impressive, with a huge space that is meticulously detailed.

There are many different spaces to sit and enjoy your coffee over three stories. There is also a small balcony big enough for three people to sit at. With there being many different places to sit and relax, it prompts repeat visits.

They have a good selection of beverages and food to enjoy. During this trip, I went with their Tanzania coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. I was pleased with the preparation and presentation of the coffee. The bean itself was a little acidic, but went down smoothly. I also enjoyed the cookie, but admittedly felt like it could have used a little less baking powder.

The pricing felt about average for a coffee shop. However, they have a coffee "on tap" for ¥400, allowing you to try different coffees cheaply.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience and I can't wait to go again!

The experience was very positive at the beginning with good quality food, but we were disappointed with the service. Poor level of English in communication.

AOI CELESTIE COFFEE ROASTERY ★★★★☆ 4.0

2025年3月初旬、新栄にオープンしたばかりの「AOI CELESTIE COFFEE ROASTERY」に初めて訪れました。地下鉄新栄町駅から徒歩1分という好立地で、青い大屋根が目を引くスタイリッシュな外観にまず感動。建築家の永山祐子さんが設計したというだけあって、洗練された雰囲気と開放感が素晴らしいです。

店内は1階で注文するスタイルで、2階がメインの客席。広々とした空間に大きな窓、天井も高く、まるで美術館にいるような居心地の良さでした。平日の昼過ぎでしたが、ほどよい賑わいで、席もすぐに見つけられました。

注文したのは「小倉トースト（780円）」と「カフェラテ（650円）」。小倉トーストは、分厚いトーストにたっぷりのあんことバターが乗っていて、名古屋らしいご当地感がしっかり味わえる一品。トーストは外側がカリッと香ばしく、中はふわっとした食感で、あんこの甘さとバターの塩気が絶妙にマッチ。ボリュームもあって、朝食や軽いランチにぴったりだなと思いました。ただ、少しバターが多めで後半はちょっと重く感じたので、次は半分シェアでもいいかも。

カフェラテは、Little Darling Coffee...
