Welcome to Cocolate Cafe, a delightful hidden gem nestled in the heart of Beppu, Japan. As a cozy cafe, it beckons you to start your day in a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both locals and travelers alike. Open from 8am, it stands out as one of the few cafes welcoming early risers, creating a fantastic first impression for everyone who walks through its doors.

The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the charming decor that reflects the cafe's unique personality. The ambiance is further enhanced by the friendly staff, many of whom speak English and are eager to ensure your dining experience is flawless. You'll feel right at home here, whether you're a long-time local or just passing through.

Cocolate Cafe is known for its enticing menu, which features an array of breakfast delights. One of the highlights is the honey buttered toast, renowned for its fluffy texture and accompanied by a refreshing salad boasting sweet pickled vegetables—a truly delightful combination. Another favorite among visitors is the quiche bread bowl, which features a savory filling encased in freshly baked bread, sure to awaken your taste buds. It's these thoughtful touches that keep customers returning for more, just as Laura and Chel De Castro did, enthusing over their experiences of breakfast and lunch here.

For those with dietary restrictions, the staff at Cocolate Cafe are dedicated to accommodating requests, exemplified by Jocelyn Sanchez’s experience. They crafted a special gluten-free meal and dressing, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction.

No visit would be complete without indulging in their exquisite coffee and authentic hojicha, both praised for their quality and flavor. Gordon Kogawa raved about the excellent coffee paired with a variety of homemade cookies and pastries, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely brunch or an afternoon treat.

While most customers have lauded their experiences, it’s worth noting that the cafe does not have a dedicated English menu, which could pose a challenge for non-Japanese speakers—though rest assured, Google Translate can bridge that gap.

For a local cafe that marries excellent food with a community-driven atmosphere, Cocolate Cafe is a must-visit. With every visit, you’ll savor the delicious dishes, enjoy the comforting atmosphere, and may even make a few friends along the way. Be sure to bring cash for your visit, as they operate on a cash-only basis!

This is a welcoming cafe to start your day, especially since it's one of the few open at this hour (8am). I ordered the honey buttered toast with a salad and it was delicious. The bread was so fluffy and the salad had some sweet pickled vegetables on it. The owner was so friendly too. We went twice during our stay because we liked it so much.

Stopped in for breakfast. Super cute cafe with very helpful staff. She could speak pretty good English and they also had an English menu for me. The breakfast was inexpensive, but sooo good and came with a coffee. I thought the quiche bread bowl was especially good.

Not so big but beautifully decorated. No English menu and the staffs also can not speak English. You need to use Google translator if you don't know Japanese. This place is mentioned in the Muslim guide of Beppu but I did not find any Muslim friendly environment or mentioned halal cake/bekary.

I went in the morning with my friend. I got the morning set with an ice coffee. The meal and drink were delicious but even better than that was their willingness to accommodate my friend with a gluten allergy! They made a separate meal for her (not on the menu) and created a special dressing that wouldn’t contain any gluten. They went out of their way to help her have a great experience so that made this place a must to return to! We will definitely stop by next time we are in Beppu and are happy to recommend this cafe as a place to stop by when in Beppu!
