The name for "Six or Third Coffee Stand" came about as it is the sixth house from the left and the third house from the right of Nishibetsu-in Nagaya in Sokawa, Toyama Prefecture. Interesting isn't it? After having lived abroad, the owner returned to Toyama to open the cafe in February 2018.
We stumbled upon this enchanting cafe in Toyama prefecture one morning after checking out from our stay in Dormy Inn Toyama. We were too early and the shop lady was just setting up her place and told us to come back later. Nearby the cafe, there were other boutique shops and eateries, such as the very popular Shogun Burger . Do give it a try if you are in the area. The freshly baked buttery buns were delish with juicy meat, fresh toppings and crisp vegetables.
Six or Third Coffee Stand is a tiny haven for caffeine lovers. Choose from Espresso or Gibraltal - double shot espresso with steamed milk, Single Origin Coffee, Lattes, Capuccinos or if you are feeling fancy, try the Espresso Tonic or Sparkling Espresso.
Wanting to create a space for people to drink coffee on this street, the owner of the bakery created this little space. People of all ages now gather in the store where the sun shines through the large windows and enjoy coffee and baked goods.
Loved the warm tones of the cafe's interiors and its lightings. The cafe was kept small and cosy with a few sitting arrangements indoors for you to have a quick morning coffee.
Offering carefully brewed coffee by the storeowner, you may choose to order one of the daily bake specials to go along with it. The homemade bakes include the store’s popular apple cider donuts, orange coconut & pumpkin cream cheese muffins and cream cakes. We ordered an iced latte with a cream cake (similar to scones).
Put on some walking shoes and explore the Toyama prefecture by foot and you may just be surprised at what you may find. This tiny aromatic hole-in-the wall cafe packs a flavoursome punch with a bonus of offering lovely bakes.
Grab a seat by their windows and watch the daily happenings of Toyama filter through the charming alleys while savouring your coffee order. Or if you are rushing for time, the little cafe makes for a perfect coffee take-out too.
