Smoking allowed inside
Marley Coffee & Chocolate East Store (coffee&chocolate Marley 東店) is Marley’s second shop, opened on 2 March 2020 on the second floor of the Lydia Building in Susukino, Sapporo, two minutes on foot from Susukino Station. Marley’s post on its completion credits the design to Yoshitaka Shimada (HACCO) and the interior to aden. Inside are a U-shaped counter and table seats under glass pendant lamps, with cup shelves in dark wood, and the shop stays open until 2 AM.
Smoking is allowed inside: the shop’s own page lists the whole shop as 喫煙可 (smoking allowed). Smok has seen no separate smoking room, so expect to smoke at your seat. This is the Marley shop for cigars: a post of June 2020 says the East Store keeps a cigar humidor and that you can enjoy cigars there with your coffee, and in April 2021 the shop held a calligraphy exhibition with Japan Tobacco’s cooperation and a coffee-and-sample-cigarette pairing menu while it ran. Smok does not know what cigars are in the humidor now; ask at the counter.
The menu is the Main Store’s: own-roasted coffee in different drip styles, cold brew, bean-to-bar chocolate and terrine, served in vintage porcelain from a collection of more than a hundred cups shared with the Main Store. Music comes from JBL L-220 speakers driven by LUXMAN amplifiers, which the shop installed to improve the sound — the shop’s post says it lets you linger.
Opening Hours
The shop is open until 2:00 AM, so each day’s hours run into the early hours of the next morning.
Hours shown in Japan Standard Time, as the shop gives them on its own site: 3:00 PM to 2:00 AM, no closed days. The shop has closed the East Store for outside events — for example for three days in September 2025 — and its posts show shorter hours around New Year, so check its Instagram, @marley.coffee.chocolate, before a visit.
Good to Know
Smoking
The shop’s own page lists smoking as allowed (喫煙可) and makes no split into smoking and non-smoking seats, so assume smoke throughout. Smok has not seen a separate smoking room, and does not know whether heated-tobacco devices are treated any differently from cigarettes. Not every Marley shop allows smoking — see “Marley’s Other Shops” below.
Hours
Open every day from 3:00 PM to 2:00 AM; the shop’s page says it has no closed days. The shop has closed the East Store for events elsewhere (three days in September 2025) and its posts show shorter hours around New Year, so check Instagram if you are making a special trip.
Seats and Booking
The shop has 22 seats, 10 of them at the counter. It takes reservations by phone, on 011-600-0736, or by direct message on its Instagram, @marley.coffee.chocolate. Booking is not necessary, though: the owner of Smok has been to both Marley shops and there were always seats.
Payment and Parking
The shop accepts cash, credit cards, various e-money and QR payment services. It has no parking; use a coin parking lot nearby.
What’s on the Menu
The Main Store and the East Store serve the same menu, according to the shops’ own site, which also says that contents and prices can change. Smok does not list prices; ask at the shop for today’s menu.
Coffee, Roasted In-House — Beans from around the world roasted by Marley to suit each origin, brewed in different drip styles depending on the bean and the roast. The menu on the shop’s site lists medium roasts (Brazil Premium Chocolat, which it calls its most popular, and Ethiopia G1) and dark roasts (Guatemala Oriente Natural and Indonesia Mandheling Bintang Lima), the day’s Marley blend, a French blend, iced coffee, and milk coffees such as café au lait, café crème and Vienna coffee.
Cold Brew and Specials — Cold-brewed coffee in a limited number of cups a day, including an aromatic Ethiopian cold brew served in a wine glass, plus Irish coffee, cocoa, café mocha and royal milk tea.
Chocolate Made from Cacao Beans — Marley makes its chocolate itself, from the cacao bean to the finished bar — bean-to-bar — and sells it in the shop, including as bars to take away: bars at 68% cacao from Vietnam, Costa Rica and the Philippines, and truffles with a liqueur flavour that changes from batch to batch.
Terrine — A rich chocolate terrine made with its own chocolate and a smooth cheese terrine, each limited to a set number a day; the shop describes the cheese terrine as a very good match for coffee.
A Personal Note from Smok’s Owner
This is a more premium coffee shop, with slightly higher prices, but the products really are high quality. My favourite is their small chocolate dessert — incredibly rich, and every bite is worth it.
Getting There
From Susukino Station
About two minutes on foot from exit 3 of Susukino Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway, according to the shop’s own site.
What to Look For
The shop is up a staircase on the second floor of the Lydia Building. Look for the black signboard at the street entrance with a staircase and “2F” on it, showing the hours; it is in the photo gallery above.
By Car
The shop has no parking of its own, and says to use a nearby coin parking lot. Smok has not checked which lots are closest.

The group’s third café, inside the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, is non-smoking — its own page says 禁煙 — and keeps the museum’s hours, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on the museum’s closed days. Smok does not list it on the map.
