A coffee oasis in downtown Nagaoka. First off, this coffee house has a super relaxing vibe. For the entirety of my time spent there, there was soothing jazz or quiet R & B music playing, which totally fit with the laid back atmosphere overall. The dirty chai I had was off the chain amazing, the blend of chai and espresso was perfect, smoky, rich, full-bodied espresso flavor with the spiciness of chai. Love the gesture to ecology by offering a discount for bringing in your own tumbler to save on waste. There are donuts and scones for snacking on to compliment anything that you order. The coffee shop is deceptively deep, a lot more seats than I was expecting when I first walked in. There are a few tumblers and other knick knacks for sale, some with the coffee house logo and some without. The barista/owner was welcoming and pointed out what was on order and brought my chai to my seat so I could enjoy taking everything in. Highly recommended cafe!

Great spot for quality coffee, cappuccinos, lates, and other barista drinks. Small selection of treats (donuts, tiramisu, hot dog), but they are served lovingly and well presented, and are very tasty. Great decor also, industrial minimalist.

Great place and excellent coffee. Chatted with the owner who had visited coffee outlets in Australia and knows how to make a good latte. Check it out if you're in Nagaoka.

If you’re in Nagaoka and need a caffeine fix, Good Luck Coffee is the place to be. Personally, I think it’s the best coffee in town—no contest. The espresso? Smooth, bold, and packed with fragrant citrusy notes that wake up your senses in the best way possible. But my true love? The macchiato. It’s pure perfection—the perfect balance of rich, velvety milk and deep, aromatic coffee. No bitterness, just the right harmony in every sip. Whether you’re a coffee purist or just looking for a cozy spot to fuel up, this place never misses. Good luck finding better coffee elsewhere—because, honestly, this is as good as it gets.

I'm a big fan of this place. The coffee is great and there are some very interesting options like Amazake Latte. Takuro-San, the owner and host loves coffee and and you can taste it. Also the interior is beautiful and the atmosphere is always nice and peaceful. A great place to meet friends for a chat or just have a break.

I went to this cafe in the morning. When you arrive, order your drinks and pay at the counter. It's very good. The store has an English menu. And the shop owner can speak English.. It's delicious.
