CHILL LOL cafe and shisha（チル ロール カフェ ＆ シーシャ）

CHILL LOL cafe and shisha in Nagasaki’s Hamamachi feels like a spot designed to unwind and linger, whether you’re dropping in for a midday break or settling in after work. This cafeteria-style café offers more than your typical coffee stop, blending a relaxed dining experience with a casual shisha lounge vibe as the evening deepens.

The menu leans on homey, approachable Japanese-style Western dishes. Highlights like the hand-kneaded hamburger plate, enriched with plenty of onions and carrots, and the keema curry provide hearty options that balance well with vegetable-rich sides. Customers often mention the thoughtfully balanced lunch plates, which make for a satisfying midday meal, and the presentation tends to catch the eye — appealing to those who appreciate both taste and aesthetic.

CHILL LOL’s atmosphere shifts notably through the day. During lunch, it’s a calm retreat where locals might enjoy a smoothie alongside their meal or catch up with friends in a comfortably unpretentious setting. In the evenings, the introduction of shisha with a variety of flavors adds a layer of relaxed conviviality, drawing in crowds who want to decompress after work or unwind with friends in a space that feels casual but a little different from the usual cafés.

The café welcomes a mix of visitors—from solo diners looking for a cozy nook to families and friends stopping by for a light meal or sweets. The availability of takeout lunch plates also suits those wanting a quick but wholesome option, particularly parents or busy workers who can't always visit in person. If you’re coming for the sweet side, the chocolate Basque cheesecake gets noted for its rich, smooth finish.

Located on the first floor of the Sakobiru building, it’s easy to pop in and out, yet the setting encourages taking your time. The interior’s quiet, unassuming charm pairs well with a menu that changes weekly, inviting repeat visits. While some find the price point a little steep given the portion sizes, the overall quality and atmosphere make it a comfortable neighborhood spot that’s practical for daily use or a casual evening out.
