Hours: Daily 09:00-19:00; closed one Wednesday each month
Obscura Coffee Roasters pours in Fukuromachi, the sit-in Hiroshima counter of a specialty roasting brand that three Hiroshima men built up in Tokyo.

hondori · 7-1 Hondori, Naka-ku, Hiroshima
Hours: Daily 10:00-19:30 bakery market; closing days announced on the shop's own channels

Kissa Saeki ★ 4.3
kamiyacho · 1-4-25 Kamiyacho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima

Hours: Tue-Wed and Fri-Sun 11:00-18:00; closed Monday and Thursday
Kiki Coffee is a small Otemachi stand in Hiroshima pouring Issou Coffee Roastery beans alongside scones and Onomichi bean-to-bar chocolate bars.
