In the heart of Aomori, just a short walk from the bustling Aomori Station, lies COFFEE SHA, a charming little café that is bound to steal your heart. This snug coffee shop, characterized by its quaint atmosphere and welcoming service, is lovingly run by a delightful elderly couple who embody the essence of Japanese hospitality.

Upon entering COFFEE SHA, you're greeted with a warm smile that transcends any language barrier. Customers like Yuk Fung SO share their delight in the couple's genuine hospitality, which sets the tone for a cozy visit. The café features a simple yet inviting design—think bar seating along a singular counter where intimate conversations come alive over steaming cups of coffee.

The menu may be succinct, but it is thoughtfully curated to satisfy those seeking comfort in simplicity. Guests have raved about the breakfast offerings, including the delightful morning set which features perfectly brewed coffee accompanied by buttered toast and hard-boiled eggs, making for a fulfilling start to the day. Reviewer Chee Li Shan described this as a charming and satisfying way to enjoy breakfast, encapsulating the café's ethos of providing quality over quantity.

As you sip on your coffee, you'll appreciate the flavors derived from beans sourced from Brazil, providing a rich and aromatic experience in every cup. For those with a sweet tooth or a penchant for warmth, the hot cocoa is an absolute must-try, adding to the café's homey charm and leaving you wanting more.

But what truly sets COFFEE SHA apart is the atmosphere created by its kind owners. Jennifer L, a visiting customer, felt the warmth and friendliness radiating from the elderly couple, which not only enhanced her coffee experience but also made her journey through Aomori more memorable. The café provides an inviting conversation corner, as mentioned by Lé Frost, where patrons can relax and connect with one another, fostering a sense of community.

For families, like Chun Chi Huang's, who return years later with children, COFFEE SHA remains a cherished place. His experience reflects how this café can adapt to the needs of its patrons while maintaining the same warmth and good food that brought him back.

Whether you are a local or just passing through, COFFEE SHA offers a wonderful reprieve—a quaint oasis where you can enjoy quality coffee, light bites, and heartfelt conversations. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this local gem that’s not just about serving coffee; it's about creating a space filled with kindness, warmth, and delightful flavors.

Snug coffee bar a short walk away from Aomori Station. Warm and friendly elderly folks run the shop. It's a single counter with bar seats only, so it may be a squeeze if there's a crowd. The coffee is good, and there are light bites and meal sets to go with. Great little conversation corner.

Lovely small kissaten run by an elderly woman and man who are so sweet. They spoke to us in simple Japanese and gave us recommendations in the area. It was a wonderful and memorable way to start our day. Will definitely go back on our next trip.

2024/10/17 I come here again after 5 years, everything is the same but I bring my two children who are 5 and 3 years old. In the beginning, there is no available seat for us. So we order coffee and toasts for take-out. When we come back to pick up food, we get a table so we enjoy food in house. Thanks for the warm food and host in this coffeehouse, and wish I have chance to be here again with my sweet family. ——————————————— 2019/04/09 Delicious breakfast and drink, enthusiastic host. Your heart always can be warmed here.

This is one now one of my favorite restaurants in all of Japan. It's a very cozy restaurant/coffee shop. A perfect place to get coffee or a meal when it's cold and snowy outside. The food is amazing and the owners are some of the most friendly people. I went here 3 times during my stay in Aomori. I highly recommend this place.
