Raw Sugar Roast — Restaurant in Tokyo

This is a new cafe that has an incredible ambiance to it. Nice stone walls, incredible music and an art gallery on the second floor. The staff are super friendly and give it even more charm. The reason why I gave it this score is the food mostly. We had the lox bagel and the Basque Cheesecake. They give you 2 pieces of smoked salmon and a small amount of cream cheese for 800 yen. It was kind of insulting to me who knows that area has incredible bagels. I could've bought that bagel for much cheaper with all the ingredients and more. The Basque Cheesecake, although delicious was just so tiny. They marked up the prices so much and I felt it truly hurt the vibe.

In a market like Canada—especially with a strong Hong Kong and Asian coffee-drinking community—such a profile may not meet the expectations of discerning drinkers. I hope this feedback is helpful as you continue to grow and refine...

One of the nicest cafes I have been to in Tokyo in quite some time. The pair of people who run this cafe, roast some of the best beans I have ever drank. When I heard they were opening up their own cafe I had to come and see it for myself.

The place is very spacious and doesn't feel crowded. The decor is also really nice. Lots of vintage wooden furniture. The second floor is a gallery where they will be rotating work from different artists.

And of course, unsurprisingly, the coffee is great. If you enjoy lighter roasts this is a must...
