This cafe is exactly as per what most reviewers have commented. Really homelike. I had French blend and cheese toast. They are good, so homelike. It was unfortunate that there was some work ongoing nearby that makes this cafe so noisy. We will come here again once the construction is over.

Local neighborhood mom and pop coffee house in the lovely neighborhood of Nishihara. I wish I had found this place sooner. Jazz music blares from this small shop onto the street. There’s a nice terrace you can enjoy a sit with your coffee and toast with jam (homemade and you can buy jars). The baked goods look delicious and they serve Japanese-roasted Horiguchi coffee. The staff is so friendly! Their eyes and smiles lit up once I stepped inside. Says they’ve been around since 1935?! Definitely choosing to come here over overcrowded Paddlers.

The absolute best bakery in Tokyo! The interior is cozy and aesthetically pleasing, creating the perfect environment to enjoy your pastries inside. I had the sausage and curry buns alongside their iced latte. The buns were still soft despite us coming in later in the day for a bakery, and tasted fresh. The latte was one of the best I’ve ever tasted in any country, and both the milk and espresso tasted high quality. I would come here every day if I could! This is a must visit if you’re in the area.

Today me and my friend visited the Café, on our first vacation in Japan. I have to say, we really really enjoyed the little Café. The ambience is really cozy, you can also sit outside, but we chose to sit inside. They played nice music and made some super delicious drinks! I drank the soy cocoa cold and my friend the coffee mocha hot. We both loved our drinks and also ate some of the sweets. They where really good, too. The people that work there were extremely friendly, and also the nice lady could speak english very well. Thank you so much for the hospitality and the great experience! If you ever have time, we recommend to go to there!

Great café. I tried their banana shake for ¥540 and it was delicious. Really refreshing. A great drink to cool down on a hot summer day. The place has a cozy atmosphere, with jazz, soul and oldies songs playing in the background. They also sell some bakery. Staff is friendly and kind. You have a few tables and a counter to sit. Recommended to chill.
