MYTH CAFE — Restaurant in Tokyo

I found this cafe after reading a few reviews online about places to explore in Koenji. I got a bit lost because of the narrow streets but the smell of coffee along the street brought me to my destination. The menu is rather large, and I appreciate that there is both Japanese and English so that we can check our reading comprehension 😅.

Ordered the espresso tonic and I must say this is the first ever cafe where I've been offered an extra shot of espresso because for those of us who drink espresso tonics, we all know what an unpleasant experience it is to have watered down tonic and coffee at the end of the cup. I'd give the owner/barista 6 stars for this - for having the insight to offer his customers a pleasant experience to the last drop.

This beverage was excellent - well balanced and smooth on the palate. There was a slightly bitter/tannic taste but it married well with the sugar from the cascara syrup. All in all, a highly innovative beverage and I'll be sure to pass by this cafe whenever I pass...

Delicious coffee and variety of...

You can get cold brew, pour over, and the usual espresso drinks here. A few seasonal specials as well and a handful of food items such as scones and french toast. Coffee...
