Sapporo Stylish Cafe #4 | Maruyama | MORIHICO

It’s a well-established café founded in 1996, located in Maruyama which is well-known as a fashionable town.
This is the first shop of MORIHICO, which has several locations in Hokkaido.

It has a very calm atmosphere and is a stylish establishment overflowing with a retro feel renovated from an old house.

We recommend enjoying the fragrant coffee and soft cakes together.
Since it doesn’t look like a cafe outside, it may be a little difficult to find.
It can get crowded on weekends, so there may be a wait, but it’s worth a visit once.

Sapporo Stylish Cafe #5 | Odori | FAB cafe

A cute cafe with an adorable exterior, located in Odori. It’s a popular cafe among young Japanese people.
Inside, you’ll see many young people chatting over coffee. But if you raise your voice too loudly, you might get the cold shoulder.

This cafe is perfect for those who want to relax in a quiet atmosphere and unwind.

I recommend trying the Lemon Cheesecake with its refreshing lemon scent.
