ホッチーノ コーヒー Hoccino Coffees — Restaurant in Obihiro

Even though we're from Sapporo, Hoccino is our go-to spot whenever we get the chance to visit Obihiro! This coffee shop truly has something for everyone, from expertly crafted pour-overs and espresso drinks to refreshing cold-brews. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or just curious to explore new brew methods, you'll find Hoccino a comfortable and welcoming place. On our current visit, my wife raved about her iced latte with the Hoccino house blend, describing it as an excellent latte where the balanced coffee flavor shone through the milk, complemented by just a hint of sweetness from the whipped cream. As someone who prefers less milk with my espresso, I was thrilled with my Gibraltar made with Brazilian beans. It was a fantastic choice, especially when paired with a slice of their cheesecake and some delicious Hokkaido ice cream.

During a previous visit when we had more time, the owner gave us an incredible coffee experience. We sampled their 24-hour cold-brew, and while I usually find cold-brew tastes stale, Hoccino's was remarkably fresh and full of flavor—and it certainly packed a caffeine punch! We also enjoyed a couple of espresso shots, sampling different origins and roasts, in addition to our usual latte and Gibraltar. We left a bit over-caffeinated and jittery, but we absolutely loved the personal experience and learned so much. We're already looking forward to...

If you are a coffee enthusiast, this café is a must-visit! The moment you walk in, you are greeted with the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the friendly owner. The exceptional service provided is a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Every cup of coffee is brewed to perfection, showcasing the owner's impressive barista skills and passion for the craft. From the rich aroma to the exquisite taste, the coffee here is nothing short of amazing. I had the pleasure of enjoying an espresso, a cold drip, a Gibraltar, and an espresso cheesecake. Each item was an experience in itself. The espresso was rich and full-bodied, the cold drip was smooth and refreshing, and the Gibraltar balanced the perfect combination of milk and coffee. And let's not forget the espresso cheesecake—an indulgent treat that perfectly complemented my coffee experience. Whether you are in for a quick coffee fix or looking to savour each sip, this place will...

Bruno (the owner, tell me if I'm mistaken) was super nice and we had a good chat about coffee. This place opened recently and it was great find! In smaller Japanese towns, it can sometimes be difficult to find good coffee places that focus on the coffee first. There are many "cafes" which treat coffee as an afterthought and just provide the bare minimum.

If you're really into coffee, this is the place to go in Obihiro. I had a macchiato which I enjoyed, but I think the drip coffee was even better! Very smooth and not at all bitter. Bruno said they always have a house blend and also rotate single origin beans from several different countries in their second grinder.

So glad...
