[Ambiance] A Retro Space Full of Showa-Era Charm
The interior of Coffee Bimi is steeped in nostalgia, showcasing a classic retro vibe from Japan’s Showa era. What stands out are the stylish lamps, elegant tableware, and charming menu designs.
Solo visitors can often be seen quietly enjoying their coffee at the counter, making it a welcoming spot for those visiting alone.
Situated right by Maizuru Park, the café offers lovely views of greenery from its windows. The soothing sound of birds and calming classical music inside create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxation.
[Popular Menu Items] Authentic Coffee and Delicious Fruit Cake
Coffee
The coffee at Coffee Bimi truly lives up to its reputation. The highlight is the blend coffee, where you can choose from five levels of strength to suit your taste. While iced coffee doesn’t offer customization, it features a rich and bold flavor. I tried the blend coffee this time, and its deep richness was truly satisfying.
Fruit Cake
Although there is only one food option, the fruit cake is outstanding! This cake is infused with rum and brandy, offering a sophisticated, adult flavor, packed with dried fruits. It pairs perfectly with coffee, making it an excellent choice for a luxurious tea time.
Tips for Visiting
Coffee Bimi is very popular among both locals and tourists, especially on weekends, so it can get crowded. Since the coffee and fruit cake are made with great care, service might take some time. It’s best to visit with plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience.
