Hachiya

Welcome to Hachiya, a delightful cafe tucked away in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido. This charming spot specializes in offering an irresistible combination of delectable baked sweet potatoes and blissfully creamy soft-serve ice cream, all served within a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a cozy retreat from the bustling world outside.

The standout feature of Hachiya is undoubtedly its 安納芋 (Anno sweet potatoes), expertly baked to perfection.

You can choose from small (¥100) or medium-size (¥120) baked sweet potatoes that are both satisfying and simply delicious. Imagine sinking your teeth into a warm, perfectly cooked sweet potato, its creamy texture harmonizing beautifully with the rich flavors of Hachiya's soft-serve ice cream.

The cafe’s soft-serve ice cream is another must-try, particularly the 黒蜜きなこソフトクリーム (black honey and soybean flour soft serve). This refreshing dessert features a lightly textured, creamy base that's accentuated by the deep, aromatic flavors of sweet black honey and nutty soybean flour—a pairing that’s been described as “devilish” and “irresistible.” Many customers have also noted how well it complements the subtly sweet baked potatoes, creating a flavor explosion in every bite.

As you step into Hachiya, the friendly and cheerful staff welcome you with smiles that are as warm as the sweet treats they serve. The cafe has a rustic charm, with wooden decor that enhances its cozy vibe, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon or a quick sweet fix after a hearty ramen meal nearby.
