01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Soft to the touch and remarkably light on the palate, the doughnuts at heath draw visitors from across the city to its quiet location near the Sanjokai Shopping Arcade. Many stop by specifically to catch the batches fresh from the kitchen. The lineup includes Glazed, with its delightfully crisp sugar sheen; Sugar, highlighting the straightforward flavor of the dough; and a simple Plain. Served warm, they have an almost cloud-like texture that melts quickly. Because popular batches can sell out early depending on the hour, timing a visit to coincide with the fresh bake times is well worth the effort.

Alongside the signature doughnuts, coffee is treated with equal care. Options range from espresso topped with rich crema to silky cafe lattes, cappuccinos, and clean-tasting drip coffee. Those looking for something different can opt for specialty drinks like an Orange Americano with citrus notes or an effervescent Espresso Tonic, both of which complement the sweet doughnuts and freshly baked cookies nicely.

Combining bare concrete with understated wood accents, the compact interior is intentionally minimal and quiet. Guests can sit in and listen to warm music drifting from the vinyl record player, or order to go to enjoy their coffee and treats on an outdoor bench while exploring the surrounding streets.
