The process of printing designs onto T-shirts is something you don’t get to see in everyday life. At Hatto Coffee, you can sip a cup of coffee whilst watching a 3D printer imprint designs on clothes. That’s right, this unassuming cafe doubles as an apparel factory that sells print-on-demand goods.

Hatto Coffee enhances its other identity as an apparel factory by furnishing the cafe with a sleek and stylish interior, giving it a chic workshop/industrial vibe. The area is divided into 3 main parts: the cafe, the printing area, and a display rack with clothes for sale.

Behind a glass divider lies Atlas MAX, a clothing printer imported from Israel. Through 2D, 3D, and embroidered printing, Atlas MAX can produce clothes such as T-shirts and sweatshirts.
The on-demand clothing printer allows a small lot production of 1 piece to mass production, effectively minimising chances of wastage.

Whilst Hatto Coffee’s print service is currently exclusive to corporations, they sell printed clothes, with designs refreshed daily, so you can get your hands on exclusive apparel when you drop by for your coffee break.

Apart from coffee, the cafe specialises in hot dogs, serving sausages 2.5 times larger than that of the usual ones you get at Japan’s convenience stores. All hot dogs come with a side of french fries, and prices range from ¥858 (~USD6.66) to ¥1210 (~USD9.39).

Here’s a fun fact about Hatto Coffee’s coffee: it’s brewed with coffee ground by bicycles. Working with GOOD COFFEE FARMS, Hatto Coffee produces sustainable coffee using a bicycle-threshing machine that grinds the beans without using any water, electricity, or fuel.
Coffee prices range from ¥528 (~USD4.10) to ¥748 (~USD5.81). Drip coffee, latte, and cafe mocha are some of the beverages available, and come in hot/iced and regular/large options.

Don’t worry if you don’t want to drink coffee. Despite the store’s name, Hatto Coffee offers alternative drinks such as tea, smoothies, and even alcoholic drinks – from Earl Grey Tea (¥748, ~USD5.81) to a Highball (¥770, ~USD5.98). Check out their front counter’s display case for desserts too!
