Best coffee I have ever had. I recommend the drip coffee well worth the wait. Although small this is in my opinion the best coffee shop I have ever been to and I have been to many of them. Thank you so much!!!!!...**update*** I went back the next day and still fantastic service.. I had an iced Americano this time. It was delicious. Also , pro tip.. get the PB&J sandwich if it is the sandwich of the day . You won't be sorry. Thank you so much !!

The owner exudes a down-to-earth personality and infuses every aspect of his work with an overwhelming passion. Among the numerous coffee shops I visited during my trip to Japan, this one consistently drew me back. The ambiance and the unparalleled taste of each cup are undoubtedly worth recommending. This establishment is a must-visit for anyone exploring Japan. I would even go so far as to make a special trip just to return to this place!

A quiet cafe with great coffee and light meal options. This was a one man operation during my visit. The pour over coffee was a satisfying drink. An english menu was available on request. The barista was apologetic when the coffee did not come at the same time as our light meal, but felt like a positive sign of attention to detail and hospitality.

Really lovely little cafe, with a very friendly and proficient barista. The decor and the music is very soothing, and the tea and PB&J sandwich I had were both amazing. It really is the perfect place for a quick coffee/tea while reading a book!

The coffee and food here are delicious! We had a condensed milk honey latte, a chestnut latte, a seaweed and cheese sandwich, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and they were all amazing! Probably the best coffee we’ve had during our two week trip in Japan. The service was magnificent as the barista made us feel very welcomed! Make sure to give this place a try if you’re in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

We discovered this place by chance and it was like love at the first sight Cute small place, very clean and drinks and sandwiches breathtaking!!! In a word... delicious !!!!! The best matcha in Japan! Besides that, the owner is soooo kind and nice, giving the best attention to his customers. Totally recommended, a must visit when coming to Tokyo. P.S: if you're a coffee lover, try the Wonder Orange Americano

What a lovely little shop. Cute chalk menus inside and out. And the owner is very friendly and helped us order while we used our very limited Japanese. He also has an English menu. The drinks are excellent. It is hard to find good espresso and you can tell he cares about his craft. The specialty drinks were also delightful. Today we tried the honey with condensed milk and the brown sugar almond. Both were great but would recommend drinking the brown sugar almond without the lid as you'll otherwise get too many almond bits with every sip. But both drinks had great subtle flavor and not too sweet. This will definitely be a regular morning stop for the rest of our stay!

Super friendly owner! My matcha latte was like a big hug, perfectly balanced. The sandwich (ham, cheese and miso) was the best sandwich I’ve had this far on my time in Japan, a real work of art I will be back.
