Harunokaori
Welcome to Harunokaori, a charming cafe nestled in the heart of Nagoya’s Showa Ward, just a short three-minute walk from Gokiso Station. This delightful spot is a must-visit for anyone in search of freshly baked breads and expertly brewed coffee, creating a perfect marriage of flavors in a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
At Harunokaori, the star of the show is undoubtedly the buttery, flaky croissants.

As noted by satisfied customers, the enchanting aroma of warm croissant in the air is enough to bring anyone through the door. Just be mindful; the morning rush can get busy, so consider visiting a bit later to enjoy a more tranquil experience.
The cafe's interior is quaint and aesthetically pleasing, with a warm ambiance enhanced by soft bossa nova tunes in the background. Despite its compact space—boasting only a few tables and a couple of counter spots—you’ll find that it provides an intimate setting that encourages relaxation and conversation. Many have praised both the inviting decorations and the friendly demeanor of the owner, who takes the time to carefully prepare coffee using quality beans sourced from Notecoffee in Kuwana. Reviews rave about the smooth, delightful flavor, making each cup a perfect companion to the delightful pastries.
Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the well-rounded selection, particularly the original blend that offers a harmonious balance of flavors, not overly acidic, and a joy to sip while lounging in the cozy environment. Pair a croissant with your choice of coffee, and you have a winning breakfast or snack that highlights local quality in every bite.
Beyond the pastries and coffee, Harunokaori also offers a unique community atmosphere, often hosting events like live music nights, which enrich the cafe experience and invite patrons to be a part of something special.
