Fukuoka's flagship specialty roaster, built up from a coffee truck by a barista with Japanese championship titles. The Yakuin Ekimae shop stays open late, so it works for a latte after dinner. Pick a single origin for hand drip, or go for the well-reviewed milky latte. Beans and drip bags are on sale too, handy for gifts.
