Sonia Coffee — Restaurant in Otaru

We visited this place to have a couple of minutes of rest before heading to the observatory deck , while ordering my coffee, the cashier mentioned that I still need one order because "1 order each person" since we're two, so I need to order 1 more, and also they don't accept suica card, pasmo and other IC cards.

Better to have your coffee in Starbucks or any other coffeeshops around Otaru metro, that doesn't force you to order per person. We are really disappointed.

Service is so so Price too expensive

I had a disappointing experience at Sonia Coffee in Otaru. The service was extremely poor—staff were inattentive, unfriendly, and seemed uninterested in helping customers. Despite the nice location, the overall atmosphere was let down by the lack of hospitality. To make things worse, the coffee was of low quality, lacking both flavor and freshness. It tasted watered down and bitter, certainly not what you'd expect from a coffee shop. Given the combination of bad service and subpar drinks, I would not recommend this place to any tourists visiting Otaru. There are definitely better options...

Ordered the Sonia special French press. They wouldn't tell what beans were used or what roast it was, like some secret recipe. From the taste could tell its light roast, low on acidic taste and not on bitter side, alittle nutty sweet taste, so I think it's light roast Brazilian, but might be wrong. Anyways I went with a friend who was having french press for the first time, and it was fun smelling the aroma. We spent 2 hours talking there and it has good ambience. In coffee beans they had only 3 options, Ethiopia, Costa Rica...
