Starbucks first entered the Japanese market in August 1996 with a store in Tokyo’s Ginza district, marking its first international expansion outside of North America. Due the rapid success, a large number of stores opened nationwide. Starbucks has tuned in with Japanese culture adapting to local tastes with seasonal drinks, unique merchandise. Starbucks first ventured into Hokkaido in 2010 with the opening of a Starbucks in Hakodate, in the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse area. Since then there are 57 stores throughout Hokkaido. You can find one in every major city and large town. The menu is simpler in Japan. Most of the staff can speak English and for those traveling, Starbucks offers free internet if you need it.

Miyataya Coffee was founded in 1989 in Kiyota Ward, Sapporo. Initially, it was set up as a specialty coffee shop for offices, but after setting up tasting tables in the roasting factory, it began operating as a cafe. As it stands today, there are over half a dozen stores in the Sapporo area. Most of the cafe stores are roadside establishments renovated from brick or stone warehouses or old houses. These cozy places create the perfect atmosphere to enjoy some good coffee. They have a selection of coffees plus a variety of teas at their stores. Food wise, they make their own sandwiches by hand every morning at the Toyohira store and delivered fresh to each store. They also have other foods, including pastas and Japanese curries. Miyataya is a comfortable place to enjoy a coffee and the success of their chain stores is a testament to their coffee.
The toasted bread here is particularly good as well as the english teas. Lunches here will only set you back ¥1000 which includes a meal and a coffee. For your nearest store, check the map above and enjoy your Miyataka Coffee.

Soiree is a pretty interesting cafe and diner on a corner in northern Sapporo. It is run by a nice elderly couple. Although they speak no English they are very friendly and accommodating. This cafe is reminiscent of those old sixties diners. They have large counter seating plus some small tables lining the windows that face the street. They have blinds instead of curtains which creates the scene. It is not a really easy coffee shop to access and most of their clientele will be regulars who live in the area. They have some nice cafe food here and decent coffee. Smoking is allowed here, hence the sixties feel. On the menu, there are some pastas, hamburger steaks, plus fried chicken and curries. Each dish looks pretty appetizing! This is an old cafe but the layout and style makes it for a cool dining experience. Enjoy!
The coffees here are sufficient. The best thing about this place is the food and the atmosphere. The coffee is cheap and the lunch sets are affordable. You are looking at around ¥1000 which is a good price for a lunch or dinner.

This is a great coffee shop in the north west of Sapporo. Cafe Morita Coffee serves as a coffee shop, restaurant, and as a small gifts store. This coffee shop uses freshly ground coffee beans. These coffee beans can be purchased at the store in packets of 100grams. There are three kinds of coffee beans to choose from. You can order up to a kilogram of coffee beans but you have to pre order first. The coffee here is pretty good! Apart from coffee you can also have tea. So, thats for drinks but Cafe Morita has a lot more to offer. As soon as you enter the coffee shop there is a small goods area on the left. You are welcome to peruse at your leisure and find some small goods to purchase if you find something you like.
Apart from the shop and coffee one of they have some hearty food here. Cafe Morita Coffee has some great dishes on their menu. Their big recommendation is the “Spicy Curry”. The curry will cost you ¥1000 and is a tomato based curry that is served with rice and chapati. The three spice levels range from normal to very spicy. Keeping with the spicy theme, there is a ‘Khao Pad’ which is a spicy Thai rice, a curry porridge called ‘Calcutta Guru. For something not spicy, try the ham and cheese hot sandwich or the bacon and eggs. A recent addition to the menu is some sweets and cakes which can be taken home.
