BAKU Coffee Roasters 莫珈琲焙煎所 — Restaurant in Tokyo

Visited on a friend’s recommendation who had plenty of good things to say about Baku, and they were not wrong at all!

Go there and drink a coffe! ( after the...

A great little coffee shop with an excellent selection of beans from Asia. This ranges from China to Laos to Cambodia to Papa New Guinea.
