Okada Coffee and Sweets

Not entirely a Japanese teahouse but more of a quaint neighbourhood coffee shop, Okada Coffee and Sweets is a local favourite for its roasted hand drip coffee – featuring specialty blends. Its origins are from Kyushu’s Okada Coffee itself, first established in 1945. When there, try their specialty coffee (from $7.50), but also one of its mains just to savour what rustic, homemade Japanese fare is truly like. The chicken karaage curry ($13) is bound to be a hit, served with hojicha rice and a side of pickles.
