Best coffee spots in Tokyo
Fuglen Tokyo
A Norwegian cafe-bar in Yoyogi that serves exceptional coffee by day and cocktails by night. The vintage Scandinavian furniture is all for sale. The cold brew and the cinnamon buns are outstanding.
Onibus Coffee Nakameguro
A tiny roastery in a converted house along the Meguro River. The terrace overlooking the river (stunning during cherry blossom season) and the single-origin pour-overs are both excellent.
Bear Pond Espresso
A Shimokitazawa institution where the owner pulls espresso with obsessive precision. The 'Angel Stain' — a double shot that's viscous and sweet — is available only on limited days. Worth the pilgrimage.
Omotesando Koffee (Successor: Koffee Mameya)
The spiritual successor to the legendary Omotesando Koffee, this Omotesando shop sells beans only — they'll brew you a cup so you can taste before buying. The curation of global roasters is exceptional.
Café de l'Ambre
A Ginza kissaten (traditional coffee house) that's been roasting since 1948. The aged coffee — beans stored for years — is unique to this shop. The dim interior and the jazz soundtrack are timeless.
Streamer Coffee Company
Founded by a latte art champion with a beautiful Shibuya location. The military latte (with caramel) and the espresso are both excellent. The modern space is a welcome contrast to old-school kissaten.
Sarutahiko Coffee
A modern roastery in Ebisu with meticulous brewing and a warm atmosphere. The pour-over bar is excellent and the hand-dripped coffees showcase Japanese roasting precision. Multiple locations now.
Blue Bottle Coffee Kiyosumi
The Japanese flagship in a converted warehouse in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa. The minimalist space, the excellent drip coffee, and the surrounding neighbourhood of galleries make this the best Blue Bottle globally.
