Walking along a quiet street in Senrioka, a lovely café suddenly catches your eye. “Ventura Coffee Stand” Step inside, and a comfortable space opens up where time seems to flow slowly. A cup brewed from beans carefully roasted in the shop's own roaster sends a rich aroma through your nose, with a flavor that makes you suddenly forget the fatigue of daily life. In between busy days, drop in and enjoy a rich moment wrapped in the aroma of coffee☕️

Found it by searching for roasteries and visited for breakfast. You order and pay first. Water is self-service. Toast set 880 yen. My drink was a hot café latte. You could choose not only the roast level but also decaf, so I went with decaf. It had a flavor that held up against the creamy milk—delicious. It came with small portions of salad, chicken, a boiled egg, beans, and yogurt. My companion had the hot dog for 1430 yen. Their drink was an iced specialty coffee. That one was just the hot dog. No salad or anything else, and compared to the toast set it seemed pricey, so it apparently left them wanting more. There's no parking lot, so we parked at a lot about a 3-minute walk away. The inside is spacious, but given the location and the step at the entrance, it looks a bit difficult for wheelchairs.

Had it for breakfast on a Sunday. Apart from the counter, there are only two 2-person tables and one 4-person table, so be careful if you're visiting with several people. Choosing the coffee was fun and it was very delicious, but for a breakfast set around 1000 yen, I'd like a bit more food.

I visited the shop around 10 a.m. on a Saturday. There was only one group ahead of me at the table seats. It's a calm, moderately sized space where about 10 people in total can sit comfortably. This time I ordered the light-medium roast Surf Blend and sat down at the counter. The coffee cup it was served in was made by an Okinawan artist, and its cute design, which felt comforting to hold, left an impression. When I glanced at the shelf, I was surprised to see Imamura-san's cups on display. I'm a fan of Imamura-san myself, and I happened to have brought my own cup, so I couldn't help but talk to the master. As we chatted, it turned out the master loves Okinawa too. Having favorite cafés in common was a happy coincidence. Since they roast in-house, the freshness of the coffee is impeccable. The Surf Blend I ordered is a light roast with mild bitterness. Yet it has solid body, making it an easy-to-drink but satisfying cup. If you tell them your preferences, I think the knowledgeable master will choose the perfect coffee for you. It's not an area I usually go to, but if I have the chance to be nearby, it's a lovely space I'd definitely like to stop by again. I've had specialty coffee at many shops, but lately my little trend is enjoying each shop's own original blend. Through the blend, you can glimpse the shop's personality and dedication, and the appeal is encountering new flavors. A favorite shop I can confidently recommend to friends. Rating ⭐️4 or above. On my Instagram (IG:taiwan_natural_you), I also only post shops rated ⭐️4 or 5.

A stylish café of a kind this area didn't have before. The atmosphere and such were good, but considering the portions, it seemed quite overpriced. It's not the kind of place you'd feel like dropping by on a whim.
