LiLo Coffee Roasters

LiLo has run out of a sliver of a space just off the main Amerikamura strip since 2014, small enough that the wooden counter and its handful of stools take up most of the room. The name stands for Life and Love, and the shop backs that up with a genuinely long bean list, more than twenty origins at a time spanning light fruity lots through darker chocolatey blends, each one written up on its own tasting card.

Orders come with a barista signature card alongside the coffee, a small touch that turns a quick stop into something closer to a tasting. The roastery behind the counter has since grown into a separate factory site and a second, more traditional kissaten style room nearby called LiLo Coffee Kissa, but the original Shinsaibashi stand is still where most people start.
