Starting from coffee shops @ Nagoya
 Coffee
shops around Nagoya are famous for their “morning service” menus. If you
visit Nagoya Station for some purpose during the morning, I recommend you
drop in to a coffee shop.
“Cafe Gentiane” is the coffee shop located on the first floor of the Hotel
Associa Nagoya Terminal, which adjoins JR Nagoya Station. You can get there
in less than one minute from JR Nagoya Station. There are more than 100
seats inside; the spacious space and modern facilities make you feel at
ease.
The morning service of Cafe Gentiane is from 7:00 am to 11:00 am ( You are
able to order till 10:45 am). During this morning service, you order coffee,
and you can select something you want to eat. Several kinds of bread,
bananas, boiled eggs, and soup are served buffet style. You are free to get
extra helpings of food. The morning service costs 500 yen.
 Next,
I will introduce one unique coffee shop near Nagoya Station. “ Lyons” is the
famous coffee shop which is located on the first basement at Mitsui Building
Bekkan. Lyons is a five minute walk from JR Nagoya Station.
The main feature of this shop is its "morning service". Usually, "morning
services" at coffee shops are limited to the morning, but “Lyons” does not
have any limitation. You are able to order the morning service almost all
day. The morning service time is from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
 You
order coffee, and you can select something from the morning service menu.
For example, toast with a boiled egg and some kinds of pressed hot
sandwiches are served. Of course, “ogura sandwiches” are also available;
this is a Nagoya specialty. “Ogura” is sweet bean jam containing whole
beans. Lyons is not large, so sometimes people line up in front of the shop.
 It's best to go to
Lyons outside of crowded times such as lunch time. The morning service price
is 350 yen. Lyons is open from Monday to Saturday. (Closed on Sundays.)
