FIST BUMP-COFFEE ROASTERY-

the roastery side of things, when a place takes it seriously, changes what you expect from a cup altogether. fist bump coffee roastery sits in miyashita, nishi ward, a quieter residential stretch of kobe that doesn't announce itself as a destination the way the harbor district does. that low-key geography suits a roastery operation, where the work happens before the coffee ever reaches your hands. what draws people back, locally at least, is that the sourcing and roasting are the point, not a supporting act to a food menu or a pretty interior. if you're coming from central kobe, the trip out to nishi ward is worth planning around rather than just stumbling into. go early enough to catch whatever's freshest off the roaster that week.
