三番街 珈琲店

sapporo has built a quiet but serious coffee reputation over the past decade, with chuo ward sitting at the centre of most of it. 三番街 珈琲店 is on minami 2 jonishi, up on the second floor of the nc北専ブロックビル, and if you're moving through that part of the city it's worth knowing it's there. the shop is well regarded among people who actually pay attention to what's in their cup, not just where they're sitting. there's something to be said for a place that holds that kind of local standing without the noise that usually surrounds it. chuo ward gives you options, but this one keeps coming up in the right conversations. go for a mid-morning coffee before the lunch crowd shifts the energy on minami 2 jonishi entirely.
