We have tried iced latte, hot latte and the seasonal drink 'sugary' (like a sweet western style iced mocha) all have been excellent. My fiancee loves the sugary! It's a small space but quite comfortable and thus far I haven't seen it completely full. The young barista is friendly and focused on his work. Edit: visited while the owner was there, she was lovely and her special iced drink 'the fall' was awesome too! December 2022 update. Still just as awesome as ever <3 They have a couple of milk shakes, the pistachio one being my favourite. Also there is craft cola and other drinks. Lovely warm atmosphere

simply amazing!! love espresso must be experienced to be believed. espresso at a completely next level, it is a carefully designed art form. everything is carefully put together to create espresso that is; smooth, rich, pure cream, heavenly and the same every day!!! every detail is carefully designed, beans are specially made for a dark and rich flavour not a dark and bitter flavour. the coffee is placed into the basket for extraction is a special process that is unique and part of the amazing process. if you have not experienced espresso at love espresso you are missing out. the atmosphere is crazy, taguchi audio system, open view of the street, super clean toilets, polite staff that serve everyone in order as they come in. i cannot help coming back again and again everyone that comes is happy and makes a positive atmosphere for everyone below is the amazing espresso and the amazing signature fall. must be experienced.

I came in not expecting much but it was a very nice coffee. I ordered a cappuccino, the taste is very light but you can still taste the coffee. And it has a very pleasant lingering after taste. The choice is perfectly balanced and great for a first timer of coffee. Not very bitter so you can enjoy the coffee. The vibe is a little rustic and chill.

Great little spot for espresso drinks -- and I am a coffee snob! We had 2 shot latte, 2 shot cappuccino, and an iced latte. ALL of them were excellent. Very kind barrista explained the drinks I didn't know.

The area is tiny with few seats only, coffee is great! Not recommended for relax but it’s good to have a quick drink of recharge.

A little coffee shop near Susukino. A nice place where you can find morning coffee. The inside have very good ambience. There are few table and a sofa. The coffee was quite simple but not bad. The staff was nice. The price was reasonable. Cashless payment was acceptable.
