YABA Coffee Shop

YABA Coffee Shop (やば珈琲店) is a Japanese coffee shop brand operated by Central Holdings Corporation, a food-service company headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi. The brand positions itself as a local, community-oriented kissaten (traditional Japanese coffee shop) that serves not only coffee but also hearty comfort food. Its signature dish is teppan napolitan — spaghetti cooked on a hot iron plate with a generous amount of the shop's original ketchup-based sauce — offered in S, M, and L sizes with optional toppings such as cheese and mushrooms. The breakfast menu is notable for allowing customers to substitute toast with onigiri (rice balls) made from Aichi-grown rice, and it also offers ogura azuki (sweet red bean paste), a Nagoya breakfast staple. The interior is described as chic and calm, with counter seats, sofa seats, and an open terrace. The shops are fully separated into smoking and non-smoking areas, and free Wi-Fi is provided for customers who want to use a computer or hold a small meeting. The brand aims to serve a wide range of age groups and emphasizes its local community focus. As of the official website information, YABA Coffee Shop has multiple locations, including the Sakae main store in Naka-ku, Nagoya; the Jingumae store in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya; the Kurokawa store in Kita-ku, Nagoya; the Numazu store in Shizuoka; and a Sapporo store in Hokkaido. The website notes that menu items may vary by store and that operating hours have been adjusted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sapporo store was temporarily closed for a period, and the site also mentions reopening after the 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake. Central Holdings Corporation was established on March 4, 1981, and operates more than 40 stores across 10 business formats, including French, bar, café, and izakaya brands. The company's representative director and president is Shuji Ota, and it employs 130 people as of the end of February 2024. YABA Coffee Shop is one of the brands in its portfolio.
