Café Kitsuné Aoyama

Had my third try with this place, and it's probably gonna be the last...

The thing is you are not paying for your coffee here - you are paying for drinking your coffee in Omotesando.

For 7usd you get a drink that's literally half the size of what you get at other places for 4usd. And the last time when I got their famous macha latte, I had to throw away the last 1/3 of the pity drink as there were chunks of undissolved macha powders!

If you ask the people who have had the chance to explore Tokyo for a longer time, I think most would tell you that the last thing you wanna do is hitting the beloved spots. There are so many secret gems hidden off the beaten path in this vast city especially when it comes to artisan coffee! If you are enchanted by the traditional decor, you can also find some coffee shop ran by Japanese grandpa in his actual house! The big names like this one do it for the profit, no name ones do it to entertain themselves through entertaining you!

If you are reading this and really on for something fine and unique, forget the stars and start wandering your neighborhood. I'm sure some places will eventually pop up and surprise you with unparalleled coffee and experience!
