Aizu Coffee Club: The Must-Go Cafe in Aizu-Wakamatsu

Although it is located in a residential area, the taste and atmosphere of Aizu Coffee Club (会津珈琲倶楽部) have earned it a reputation. It is the best place in Nanukamachi (a station from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station) to enjoy a cup of nice coffee. Not only the does it offer coffee brewed from high-quality beans, the ingredients used for breakfast, lunch, and desserts are all carefully picked. So, no matter what you order, we are sure it will taste incredible.

As its name suggests, the cafe is like a stylish club. From the lighting to furniture and tableware, the space where you relax is carefully designed to ensure you have a cozy time there. Furthermore, Aizu Coffee Club has a kid’s area where toddlers can enjoy their visit.

The Coffee and Food at Aizu Coffee Club

Like many coffee specialists, Aizu Coffee Club purchases high-quality raw beans. The beans are then roasted and served hand-drip when ready to be brewed into coffee. Thus, the coffee tastes fresh without any unpleasant taste. The rich aroma of the coffee fills the cafe and entertains your sense of smell. Moreover, you will be surprised by the teacup collections at the counter. Many of them are from famous makers and have a high price tag. Apparently, the owner would select the coffee cup that suits the customer best.

Aizu Coffee Club offers three breakfast set menus. Each comes with at least a piece of toast, a cup of coffee, and a few side dishes, including steamed vegetable salad. The vegetables are freshly harvested from local farms, allowing you to enjoy their original sweetness.

Because bacon and eggs are a part of the set menu, remember to ask the staff to exclude them if you are on a special diet. They might even be able to exchange the meat for more salad.

If you are there for morning or afternoon tea, order a piece of homemade cake or pie. The cakes made with seasonal fruits or even vegetables are amazing.

Tips for Visiting Aizu Coffee Club

  • While the entire space is Western-style, the soba noodles on their lunch menu taste exceptional! Just note the dipping sauce/broth contains seafood extract. If you don’t eat seafood, have the noodles with salt. The noodles would still taste good because of its quality.

  • The Breakfast menu is served until 10 am and needs to be reserved.
