A café known for its eye-catching oversized drinks has arrived in Motomachi, Kobe. On January 27, 2026, the popular Korean brand fave COFFEE opened its first Kobe location, following its Shinsaibashi store in Osaka.
Right by Motomachi Station, in front of Daimaru Kobe
The café is located about a 2-minute walk south from the east exit of JR and Hanshin Motomachi Station. Facing Daimaru Kobe, it is easy to spot thanks to its orange sign and large cup-shaped display. Some may recognize the spot as the former location of Imahashi Shoten.
Nearly 100 menu items to choose from
One of fave COFFEE’s defining features is its extensive menu. In addition to coffee, the lineup includes lattes, fruit teas, yuzu tea, smoothies, and more — nearly 100 hot and iced drinks in total.
With such variety, you can always find a drink that matches your mood or occasion.
The highlight: the 1-liter “Great Size”
After being impressed by the menu, the drink sizes steal the spotlight. Even the regular size is around 600ml, but fave COFFEE also offers an approximately 1-liter “Great Size.”
- Great Iced Americano: ¥550 (tax included)
- Great Café Latte: ¥820 (tax included)
Standing at roughly 20cm tall, the cup makes an immediate impact. The Great Americano is clean and refreshing despite its size, while the rich Great Café Latte is ideal for milk lovers.
Limited-time opening campaign
To celebrate the opening, a special promotion is available from Tuesday, January 27 to Friday, January 30, 2026 (4 days only).
- Great Americano (iced only) Regular price ¥550 → ¥250
Enjoy nearly 1 liter of coffee for less than a coin — a truly eye-catching offer. First-time visitors should especially take advantage of this period.
Kobe Motomachi–exclusive menu items
The Motomachi store also offers exclusive drinks available only in Kobe. Inspired by the city, the theme centers on “the sea” and “the mountains.”
The Great Green Mandarin Limeade (¥1,000, tax included) delivers a sharp citrus acidity with a refreshing finish — perfect for enjoying while strolling toward the waterfront. (The regular size is ¥770.)
Other exclusive options include:
- Pistachio Coconut Smoothie: ¥950
- Melon Yogurt Milk: ¥860
All visually appealing and photogenic.
About the line: mobile ordering available
You may notice a line outside the shop, but in many cases, customers are simply waiting to pick up mobile orders. Counter ordering is also available, and cash payments are accepted, which adds peace of mind.
Special bags and boxes are provided, making even the 1-liter drinks easy to carry.
