Located in Sapporo’s Higashi Ward at right near Yurigahara Park, Wada Coffee is a traditional Japanese coffee shop with a distinctive retro interior and a collection of antiques, ornaments and vintage objects. The café has a surprisingly substantial food menu. Choices include set meals and lunch plates, along with dishes such as hamburg steak, curry and lasagna. Past menus have also featured bacon-and-egg curry, tortilla pizza and pancakes. For something lighter, there are cake and dessert sets, including homemade-style sweets. 

Coffee is naturally a main feature, with both hot and iced coffee available and different beans and monthly coffee selections appearing on the menu. A coffee and dessert set makes it a good option for an afternoon visit, while the larger meals make Wada Coffee equally suitable for lunch. With its old-fashioned interior, extensive food menu and traditional coffee-shop atmosphere, Wada Coffee is an interesting example of Sapporo’s long-established kissaten culture.

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.
