Excellent coffee and perfectly minimalist design

Coffee and a slice of their home made cheesecake with strawberry sauce - heavenly!

The decor is beautifully rustic and minimalist

Coffee is treated like a science here, in order to brew the perfect up

Coffee blends are available for purchase

The sweets change daily - check the menu to see what's on offer!

Wooden accents with gorgeous greenery and white walls complete the minimalist vibe

This wooden table was my favorite spot to sit!

When I visit a new city, I tend to map out the coffee shops I want to check out well in advance. Othello Coffee Roasters was on my radar before I even got to Beppu, and I headed straight there once I arrived for my caffeine fix.

There are brews from different origins available at the cafe, as well as various sweet treats that change on a daily basis. When we visited, we enjoyed some homemade cheesecake with a fresh strawberry sauce that the proprietor had made herself - it was absolutely delicious, so much so that we headed back the next morning to snag some more.

If you appreciate minimalist, clean aesthetics, you'll enjoy visiting Othello Coffee Roasters for that reason alone. Unfinished concrete floors, white walls, potted greenery and wooden accents give the cafe a sleek yet warm and welcoming vibe.

Othello Coffee Roasters is located approximately 10 minutes on foot from Beppu Station.

What? I didn't know about this?? I'm going to tell my Beppu friends to check it out for me. It's the cheesecake that's got me salivating for a cheap flight to Japan, like, tomorrow!! Thank you, Kim!

It’s the loveliest place with the sweetest owner! Tell everyone you know - we popped in multiple times on our trip there because we loved it so much!

I'm a fan of "minimalist, clean aesthetics" but after reading your articles about the porcelain, I've got a hankering for some detail now.

Easy enough, I think, to find both in Japan.
