Japan’s first outpost of Taipei’s Pharos Coffee, this sleek café is a destination for discerning coffee lovers, celebrated for its expertly brewed light roasts.
The interior is minimalist yet warm, blending clean lines with natural textures to create a relaxing environment. One side of the space doubles as an art gallery, showcasing rotating exhibitions. An original soundtrack by Taiwanese ambient artists enhances the serene setting, creating a calming atmosphere that makes the café ideal for lingering. Jimbocho proved the ideal location, perfectly matching the owner’s passions for art, jazz and coffee – qualities the neighbourhood itself is renowned for.
The menu is refreshingly simple, with around five beans available as hand-drip, cold brew or cold brew latte. For something special, try the café’s music series, where each coffee bean’s flavours are inspired by the melodies of great composers such as Mozart.
