Le Premier

Le Premier is a small takeout cafe in the Minatomachi area of Naniwa Ward, Osaka, not far from Namba Station and down an alley next to a supermarket. It brews coffee from beans it roasts itself, offering hand drip and iced latte, including an Ethiopian Sidamo decaf bean, and describes the flavor notes of each coffee. There are five or six seats outside the shop, and staff explain the coffee in English. Takeout is the focus, so there is little space to stay long inside.
