Brooklyn Roasting Company Namba

This location opened on April 15, 2016 as Brooklyn Roasting Company Japan's domestic flagship store, notable for having its own roaster installed on site rather than only serving beans roasted elsewhere. It sits under the Nankai Railway overpass in the Namba EKIKAN complex in Osaka, a redevelopment of the space beneath the elevated rail line into shops and cafes. The store carries the brand's New York-inspired industrial aesthetic — exposed materials and a market-hall feel — into a spacious interior that local cafe guides describe as offering a comfortable working environment, with Wi-Fi and power outlets available for customers who stay to work or study, a detail repeatedly noted in Japanese cafe-review coverage (CafeAdvisor, andCoffee). As the flagship among Brooklyn Roasting Company's Osaka and Tokyo locations in Japan, Namba EKIKAN represents the brand's largest and most fully realized Japanese location, combining roasting operations with retail cafe service in one space; beans and branded goods from this and other Japan locations are also sold through the company's dedicated online shop.
