A must go if you're a coffee enthusiast.
The overall experience is worth the long walk from the closest subway station.
A wide range of coffee selection from COE certified, geishas, to regular blends or single origins. There's definitely a coffee for you whether you like it slightly more developed roast, bright fruity flavours or from the rare genre.
Food was decent and service was professional and friendly!
My only wish was that there would be better assistance when i was trying to decide on what retail coffee to get as there wasn't much english available. But that's only from a foreigner's point of view. I like how some locals walk in and grab a geisha coffee in a matter of minutes! It really is shows how it is common for them to enjoy coffee like this!
I had the privilege of trying 2017 WBC geisha espresso! So tasty! It was so bright yet super sweet! Bursting with florals and fruits.
Try the chocolate too. Very good chocolate. Tasted like plums and wine.
My biggest disappointment was that the filter brew was flat and weak. The geisha was mainly tart and lacking of sweetness. Didn't enjoy the cloudiness due to the fines.. but that's just my preference.
Wished i could speak japanese. The barista and service staff was friendly and hospitable. If only there wasnt a language barrier.
Would i come again?...

The cheese cake came in miniature form but was good too. Would be a nice idea for a tapas cake bar. There is music playing nicely in the background. The whole place is inviting to read a book or just let your thoughts float. However, we consider it overpriced. Value for money is low. It’s nothing you don’t get somewhere else. It might be faster somewhere else too. The handling of one’s order is odd too. They use printed barcodes to scan items. Feels slow and outdated. Of course this is highly subjective but I haven’t seen it like this anywhere...
Read moreTruly a great place to get coffee. They have a large menu of coffees from around the world. I have tried their latte, French press, and steampunk and they were all outstanding. Coming from Seattle and being a hopeless coffee addict I had a difficult time finding a coffee shop that could hold up with the best in Seattle. Maruyama exceeds my loftiest hopes. In addition, the staff is super nice and foreigner friendly. The prices are reasonable (less than Seattle), and the atmosphere is wonderful with a modern urban feel.
They have a few things on the menu but I wouldn't come here for a full meal. The scones are...
