Okaffe Roasting Park is the roastery of Akihiro Okada, the Japan Barista Champion behind Okaffe Kyoto. It opened in 2022 after a crowdfunding campaign, in a renovated former timber shop, and marked the start of the group's in house roasting. The space is open and park like, with furniture made from different woods and an open terrace.

The house Star Blend and a changing range of single origin beans are roasted here, with lighter and darker roasts on offer, and drinks are served at a counter with bench seating. Beans are shipped across Japan, and part of the range is sold only at this location.
