Q&A
- I'd like to buy some coffee beans in Nara. Can I purchase them at ANY?
- Yes. At our coffee shop ANY in Nara City, we carefully roast and sell a wide variety of unique coffee beans, including our popular house blends and single-origin beans. Our selection changes with the seasons.
- If I buy coffee beans for home, the office, or as a gift, is it possible to have them ground?
- Yes. We can grind the coffee beans for you in-store. We use our EK43 coffee grinder to provide the perfect grind for your specific coffeemaker or brewing equipment.
- I practice zero-waste to help combat climate change. If I bring my own container or tin, can you put the coffee beans directly into it?
- Yes, absolutely! As part of our own commitment to tackling global warming and climate change, we are happy to fill a container that you bring yourself. We also offer a discount for doing so. Alternatively, we have reusable jars available in-store that you are welcome to use.
- Do I still get a discount if I use one of ANY's reusable jars?
- Yes. You will get a same discount as you would for bringing your own container.
- Do you have parking for customers?
- Unfortunately, we don't have a dedicated parking area. We kindly ask our guests to use one of the public paid parking lots nearby. Thank you for your understanding.
- Do you have allergy-friendly options?
- Yes, We offer gluten-free menu items. We also provide milk alternatives like soy milk and oat milk, which pair perfectly with our cafe lattes and chai lattes.
- Do you have vegan options?
- Yes, We offer vegan-friendly granola, sandwiches, and baked sweets. We also have vegan drink options, including vegan chai, soy lattes, and oat lattes.
- Can I bring my children?
- Of course. Children are welcome! We simply ask that you supervise them for their own safety and to be mindful of other customers.
- Is it possible to bring a stroller inside?
- Yes. While our space is a bit cozy and we might ask larger groups with several strollers to fold them, we can almost always accommodate one stroller at a table.
- What are the characteristics of ANY's coffee beans?
- The signature of our coffee is a well-balanced light roast that brings out the unique character of each bean. Instead of the sharp acidity you can get from an overly light roast, we focus on creating a perfect balance that emphasizes the coffee's natural sweetness and fruity notes. The result is a gentle coffee that's easy to brew and enjoy at home.
- What are your breakfast hours?
- We serve breakfast from 8am to 1pm. Our menu features sandwiches using bread from a local bakery in Nara, as well as granola with seasonal fruit. Pair your meal with one of our coffees, such as a cafe latte or a hand-drip coffee.
- Are your coffee beans available to ship oversea?
- Yes, they are. You can buy them both in-store and online. We ship anywhere in Japan and oversea, offering our house blends, single-origin beans, and drip bags.
- As a coffee beginner, can you recommend some beans for me?
- Absolutely. Our experienced staff, who worked as a barista and roaster in Melbourne for 6 years, can carefully guide you. Don't hesitate to ask for tips on how to brew or store your coffee either.
- What is the atmosphere and seating like in your cafe?
- All are welcome, whether you're by yourself, with family, a local, or a tourist. We generally have three tables for two, and can seat a maximum of four people per group. Since our space is cozy, we appreciate everyone being mindful of each other.
- Can I visit in a wheelchair?
- Yes, of course. There is a small step at the entrance to our shop, but we will gladly help you if you require assistance.
- What are your payment methods? And do you accept reservations?
- Payment: We accept cash, credit cards, and PayPay.
Cafe Reservations: We do not take reservations for cafe seating.
Accommodation Reservations: To book a stay, please make a reservation through Booking.com, which can be accessed from our website.
- Do you serve decaf coffee?
- Yes, we do. We can make you a decaf latte or hand-drip coffee. We also have decaf coffee beans available for purchase.
- Why are you involved with Serika's Fund to support ALS research?
- Our goal at ANY is to build a brighter future through coffee. Part of that means contributing to a better world by supporting innovations in medicine and technology. We were deeply moved by the Japanese comic Space Brothers, and learning about ALS from the series was a powerful experience that motivated us to support this cause.
