Tokkuri Kiwata Coffee — Restaurant in Naha

Nice space. Clearly a neighborhood favorite situated in a lovely, classic walking district of Naha. I appreciate the fact that they have NO wifi and that one can NOT work on their laptops there to encourage being social and/or to enjoy the relaxed environment solo.

The green tea yuzu cake was very dense and had bits of yuzu in it, which made for an interesting texture. There’s a few tables but they filled up quickly after opening in a Sunday morning. Friendly and...

Very cozy cafe with a beautiful interior. They serve several types of coffee beans and also explain (with graphs!) what we can expect the beans to taste like. You can also choose drip, French press and one other way that I can't remember... They don't do espresso though. It might be because they want to keep the store very quiet, bit I'm not sure.
