While walking around Hakodate Station, I was craving something sweet, so I decided to stop by Misuzu Coffee (函館 美鈴). They have several locations, and this time, I visited the Daimon branch, which is the closest to Hakodate Station. The building is relatively new, but Misuzu Coffee was established in 1932 and is the oldest café in Hakodate.
They also have branches in Tokyo, but I’ve heard that these branches don’t serve their signature coffee soft serve.
Upon entering, there is a shop where they sell sweets and coffee beans. The beans are roasted on-site, and this branch also roasts coffee beans that are sold at various department stores within Hakodate city.
At the back of the shop, there’s a cozy café with around six tables, featuring brown and ivory tones. Yes, the colors of the coffee soft serve! 🙂
The drink menu includes not only coffee but also tea and cocoa. They offer an English menu as well.
This is the dessert menu:
This is the Coffee soft serve. It’s larger than I expected. Despite the brown coffee color, the soft serve actually has a greenish hue. But of course, it tastes like coffee—milky with a strong coffee flavor.
It’s topped with coffee powder, which adds a slight bitterness to balance out the sweetness.
After enjoying the cold soft serve, I had a cup of blended coffee, which was refreshing and smooth. The coffee beans are roasted fresh after the order is placed, so it takes a little time, but the result is a clean flavor with no off-tastes.
