What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Falò Coffee Brewers is lauded for its exceptionally high-quality coffee, with many calling it the best they've had in Japan. Reviewers consistently praise the expertly brewed espresso, pour overs, and cortados, as well as the cozy, minimalist ambiance. While the space is small and service can sometimes be perceived as firm on ordering, the friendly staff and delicious pastries and food options make it a highly recommended stop.
"Specialty coffee is something that I look for everywhere I go. Falo hits the spot. The staff is humble and knowledgeable about coffee. We went multiple times to try the pour overs and cortados. Everything is great. The ambiance is cute modern Japanese, the service is quick. Ideal spot for solo or micro groups. I would love them to have coffee from Costa Rica."

"Good coffee and pastries. We were able to squeeze 4 people although the place is quite small. I understand some of the other reviews about the service - the staff didn't seem super interested in helping us sit down and we're quite firm on ordering before getting a table. The almond croissant was great rare find in Japan."
Radu Patulescu
"They are passionate about coffee. Magic... if you're from Melbourne you might understand what I mean.
Pour over was expertly done and they have a small selection of single origin beans to choose from.
This gem of a cafe definitely exceeded my expectations of what I might find in a smaller place like beautiful Takayama.
Limited but delicious food selection. We had the granola and a tomato and cheese muffin.
Highly recommended."
