Stereo Coffee

The white corner building of Stereo Coffee with a blue neon script sign above a window lettered with the menu, a pebble mosaic wall below and a blue bench on the pavement

Stereo Coffee fills a renovated house about thirty years old in an alley off Watanabedori, marked by a bright blue neon sign. The ground floor is a standing room with a counter facing the street, a few standing tables and music from a pair of large speakers, and upstairs a gallery space called AND hosts exhibitions and pop up shops.

The menu runs through espresso and hand drip coffee, with beer on the same list, and the baristas choose the beans from specialty roasters. The shop wants to be a place where people gather naturally as part of daily life, and its tagline is Good Music Good Coffee.
