Artisan Coffee Shops in Tokyo
It seems hard to believe, but there was once a time when finding a good cup of coffee in Tokyo was a challenge or at the very least required a journey to an artisan shop invariably located on some far side of town. Nowadays, artisan coffee and the coffee scene are thriving in the megalopolis, and you can find a good cup of coffee in almost any neighborhood. I have had a lot of coffee in Tokyo over the years, and I can say that the coffee selection only gets better every year. That said, it is hard to pick the best places or make a definite ranking. Instead, I’ve compiled a list of places I like to get you started on your journey. And I encourage you to try shops in your neighborhood to support the local scene. Let’s get started, shall we? Streamer Coffee Company This chain of shops in Western Tokyo has good coffee, specializing in latte art. The coffee can be a bit on the milky side since they like their foam. They pull a good shot, and they have plenty of amenities that Westerners appreciate, such as free Wi-Fi and shared seating arrangements. Website: streamercoffee.com Address:…
