光珈琲 HIKARU COFFEE

This is a small and cozy cafe with really good coffee and pancakes! The owner was so friendly. The music in the cafe was nice too. We love the vibe of this place and we’re definitely coming back on our next trip!

The handrip coffee (Ethiopia beans) is wonderful and the ice latte is good too. Although it's a small cafe but I can feel the good vibes. The price is reasonable too, would like to visit again if I come fukuoka next time

It is a hidden gem that captures the heart of Fukuoka’s coffee scene. The café is small and cozy, run with genuine warmth that immediately makes you feel welcome. Their coffee is the highlight. It was roasted and brewed to bring out a smooth, rich flavor. I tried both the hand-drip and espresso, and each cup showed a lot of attention to detail. They even serve espresso in a wine glass, which adds a fun and elegant twist.

Really enjoyed this little coffee stand—the coffee is excellent, rich and well-crafted. The space is very small, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak times. That said, it’s totally worth it. The outdoor seating is cozy and peaceful, making it a great place to chill once you’ve got your drink. Perfect for a slow, relaxing coffee break in Fukuoka.

This is a tiny café with only 4 to 5 seats, but despite its small size, it’s full of warmth and unique character. The hand-brewed coffee is excellent — you can really taste the care and passion the owner puts into every cup. The owner is very chatty and friendly. Although his English isn’t very fluent, he uses a translation app to communicate with customers, which shows his genuine enthusiasm and kindness. This kind of experience makes me want to visit again, to enjoy that rare sense of friendliness and delicious coffee.

We went here twice as it opened earlier than other coffee shops. Small and cozy shop with about 7-8 spots. He mentioned that most of his customers are foreigners. I saw an eclectic bunch of people both times. Had about 8 different single origin beans to choose from for the pourover, as well as other coffee based drinks and snacks. It looks like it becomes a bar at night. I'll admit the coffee was not the best I've had (I've had some damn good pour over coffee before) but the flavor clarity and smoothness was there. I had one that was advertised as "taste the earth" and boy did it deliver.

Excellent little coffee spot. Ordered a matcha latte with red bean butter toast. Toast was yummy and latte was delicious.

This was our favourite local cafe in Fukuoka (actually, the vibe made it our favourite cafe of our whole trip). Small and nicely decorated with a calm and warm atmosphere. They offer multiple pour over options for different tastes (ex: light/medium and dark roasts, washed and natural process, different single origins). My personal favourite was the light roast natural Ethiopian with fruity notes, and my partner got lattes which he also very much enjoyed. The matcha lime tonic was refreshing and tasty during hot afternoons, and the breakfast sandwich was a pleasant surprise of layered amazingness. The barista/roaster/owner is very nice and my partner and I appreciated our interactions with him (as others have mentioned, his English is limited, but he either uses a translation app or manages in other ways). Starting each day here greatly contributed to the wonderful experience we had during our travels
