Koko Cafe Itoshima

Nestled along the breathtaking coastline of Itoshima, Koko Cafe Itoshima is a hidden gem that elevates the art of dining to a truly enchanting experience. From the moment you step inside, the rustic charm of the interior—adorned with handcrafted pottery and warm wooden accents—sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. The first photo showcases a feast that is as visually stunning as it is delicious. The signature dish, presented with meticulous care, features a vibrant salad brimming with fresh vegetables—crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and tender corn all from the cafe’s garden—served on a beautifully handcrafted plate that reflects the cafe’s artisanal spirit. The accompanying soup, rich with a savory broth and topped with herbs, warms the soul, while the basket of artisan bread, with its golden, twisted perfection, adds a delightful crunch. A side of pickled delights and a perfectly brewed cup of coffee round out this masterpiece, each element harmonizing to create a symphony of flavors. The second photo reveals a stunning view of the ocean through expansive windows, where the gentle waves and distant horizon create a serene backdrop, perfectly complementing the cozy ambiance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the unique, handmade ceramics that elevate the presentation to the warm, inviting atmosphere crafted by the passionate owner and pottery artisan . Koko Cafe Itoshima is not just a meal—it’s a celebration of local ingredients, artistic craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of its seaside location. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or a memorable dining experience, this cafe is an absolute must-visit, leaving you with a sense of wonder and a longing to return. Five stars are simply not enough to capture its glory!

Excellent food! And the owner/artist is an incredibly welcoming woman. We enjoyed our lunch very much and hope to return someday. Visiting from New York City.

Superb crepe with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Great view of the sea. Whimsical decor and pottery. Check it out!

Loved this place! It’s right next to the beach but on a hill so you have a beautiful view overlooking the sea. The owner is a very nice lady who makes all the plates herself. The food tastes great and is really healthy.

Great lunch set. Very fresh and highly quality ingredients. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully presents. With the sea and waves below you.

The wife and I went maybe a month ago and loved it. So today we brought my wife’s mom with us, but sadly Koko Cafe Itoshima was closed. My wife called and the owner came out and told us she was closed because she was working on the building. She said she remembered us and asked where we lived, we told her and she said thats too far and let us in. She said only salad though… yet she made us everything! Salad 10/10 soup 10/10, bread 10/10, dessert 10/10, drinks 10/10! We all loved her personality and the food looks and tastes amazing! She puts amazing details in everything! If you goto Itoshima you must goto Koko Cafe Itoshima! Beautiful view, amazing food, perfect owner/ chief, and just a wonderful experience! Thank you!

Had the best comfort food after two weeks in Japan. First day in Fukuoka straight from the airport to this join by local train. Train journey along Itoshima coastal was spectacular. Enjoying daily special lunch from the fresh ingredients overlooking beautiful view of the beach. Worth every ¥. The owner was very friendly and attentive despite the language barrier. Nihongo hospitality never disappoint me :)

I was cycling around Itoshima and went to this cafe on a quiet weekday in October. It is just near Anego beach which is perhaps the most beautiful beach in Itoshima. The vibe of the cafe is surprisingly amazing. The owner of the cafe understands English and I talked about my journey with her.
