HATOYA TOKYO 中野新橋駅前店 — Restaurant in Tokyo

Really love this place. Nothing fancy, but cozy but with a relatively big selection of fresh-baked stuff, both sweet and savory — and relatively inexpensive (mostly around 200–250 yen each). And coffee is only 240 yen for small, 290 for larg(er). And you get a discount if you buy food and coffee both. So you can actually buy a coffee+pastry for a total of less than 400 yen — and never really more than 500 yen total for a pastry+drink combo, no matter what you get. Plus they always have a few discounted day-old items next to the register that are 10%, 30%, or even 50% off. And non-annoying background music. And even though it's less than one minute from the station, it's never crowded — there will almost always be a table open. Even when we go with our kids, there's always enough seating open for the five of us. Plus, it opens relatively early (8:30) and closes relatively late (20:30). There's nothing else like it anywhere...

Stayed nearby for 6 nights and visited twice. I wish we would have found this place earlier. Great affordable local neighborhood coffee shop.

Second time another cortado and hot milk tea. The tea was a little sweeter than I prefer but...

The breads here are SO good. I love their egg on I think an english muffin with a protein. They have two versions. I also love their caramel french toast. Everything is so good. I definitely recommend eating in with a hot latte. They warm up the food and it’s amazing. Service is great! To go is also a...
