    Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Kandajinbocho 1-11
    Located close to exit A7 of Tokyo Metro Jimbocho Station. This cafe has been a local favorite ever since it first opened in 1955. The totem pole, retro red telephone, and other objects placed outside near the door give off an eccentric atmosphere. Conversely, inside, the cafe resembles a mountain cabin, and the brick walls are covered with graffiti left by patrons, engendering a retro atmosphere. The establishment's dim lighting helps customers to relax and forget the hustle and bustle of the city. One of the most popular items on the menu is the fresh strawberry juice, poured to the glass brim. Made with ripe strawberries and finely crushed ice, it can be enjoyed like a dessert.

    A great little getaway! I didnt try the food, but coffee was average for Japan. Had a great range of things on the menu and I regretted not going for a meal. Four different flavours of creaming soda...

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Sarugakuchou 29-3
    It is an attractive cafe with a classical atmosphere which is located along the former Yamate-dori Avenue. It is possible to pleasantly pass the time in this open-air space while bathing in the sunlight shining through the Zelkova trees which are in excess of 300 years old.

There are also various kinds of desserts and alcoholic drinks available.

    Was in Daikanyama and decided to drop by this famous cafe for lunch. Ordered a vongole pasta, coffee and tiramisu. The coffee was good (not cheap though), but the food were disappointing. The pasta...
