Welcome to The Coffee Table, a gem nestled in the heart of Niigata. This charming café is more than just a place to grab your daily coffee; it's an experience infused with warmth, creativity, and community spirit. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the delightful chatter of fellow coffee lovers.

The heart of this café lies in its expertly crafted beverages. Customers rave about the hot mocha, with its rich, velvety texture and a crescendo of chocolate notes that dance on the palate. The aesthetic appeal of the ice latte, as the barista artfully pours coffee into chilled milk, makes it a must-try, not just for its taste but for the visual delight it brings. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, don’t miss their seasonal cakes, which shine a spotlight on local flavors and seasonal ingredients, transforming every visit into a new culinary adventure.

But it’s not just the drinks that beckon you in—additional reviews from visitors confirm that the desserts are equally spectacular. The cheesecake and peach pie are frequently highlighted as standout favorites, celebrated for their perfect balance of sweetness and texture. One delighted guest, Amber Stumbaugh, fondly remembers the delightful interaction with the owner, who passionately shared the secrets behind the delectable cakes. “The cake was so good and delicious,” she recounts, capturing the essence of this friendly establishment.

The ambiance at The Coffee Table is just as important as the coffee. The cozy, welcoming environment encourages patrons to linger, whether they’re catching up with friends or enjoying a peaceful moment alone with a book. As Daniel Holanda discovered after a jog, this café is not just a place for coffee but a sanctuary for the black-and-white moments of life.

Moreover, the staff is renowned for their friendliness and professional service, enhancing the overall experience. James, a returning visitor, remarks on the warm interactions that make each visit feel special. The team’s dedication to creating a community and a welcoming environment is evident, making The Coffee Table a truly delightful destination.

Before you plan your visit, do keep in mind to bring cash, as that’s the only payment method accepted, a small consideration for the richness of the experience that awaits you. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Coffee Table is a delightful expression of Niigata’s coffee culture that you won’t want to miss. Come to sip, savor, and indulge in everything this cafe has to offer!

I visited there many times. I really love a taste of hot-mocha. And I fascinated the color of ice latte when they pour the coffee into the milk. In addition, they will have a special cake in each season. If you have a opportunity to visit, please don’t hesitate.

This place is a gem. I stumbled upon it as I was returning from a jog by the river. The staff is extremely friendly, coffee is top notch and the cakes are delicious. Beware they only take cash.

The cake was so good and delicious. I think it was the owner that talked to us and explained what she did to make the cake so good. Definitely recommend visiting and trying their cake. It cake looked so good forgot to take a picture before we started eating it.

Great little coffee shop. Very good selection of beans found with EK43, the drips are made with Aeropress. The pies are also well balanced. Service is great. Only Stevie Wonder complete CD is not that sexy. Can only recommend.

Found this hidden gem in Niigata city! A 10 minutes bus ride from Niigata bus terminal to Furumachi area. There is already a queue when we arrived and most of them are locals. We were greeted by a friendly staff who did not hesitate to introduce us the popular coffee and cakes, though we do not speak much Japanese. Cafe ambience is cozy with the sense of modern industrial design. Apparently they will change their menu every season so you will always anticipate new flavours of cake and coffee. All the cakes are handmade with local sourced ingredients such as Hokkaido cream and Niigata peach. I would definitely visit again for their new menu and satisfied with their great hospitality!

I'm so happy we stumbled upon this little gem while we were visiting Niigata. Very cozy cafe and very pleasant staff. The cakes were delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. We ordered the drip coffee and the chocolate latte(forgot the name). The black coffee was very smooth and not too bitter. The chocolate latte was on a whole another level though. Must try!
