CAFE TIPO8

cafe tipo8 takes its coffee seriously enough that you notice immediately. this is a specialty shop in nakatsu, a kita ward neighborhood that runs quieter than the tourist corridors of central osaka, which means the people who find it are usually looking for it. that kind of self-selection tends to produce a good room. the standing here is strong, consistently, and that's not nothing for a small independent in a city where the specialty coffee scene has gotten genuinely competitive. if you're coming from the nakatsu station end of things, it's a short walk. go on a weekday morning when you can actually sit with it, and order the espresso.
