ROAR COFFEEHOUSE & ROASTERY — Restaurant in Tokyo

We were taking one last walk in Tokyo before going to the airport back home and stumbled across this little cafe. They had a variety of coffee beans, which they roasted themselves. I tried their famous "rainbow latte," which is just a regular latte with gay latte art that costs ¥620.

But the star of the show isn't the latte art—it's the coffee!! It's so good. The Ethiopian Geisha beans paired perfectly with the taste of a honey latte. Remember to stir the honey before drinking, though. I didn't realize there was honey at the bottom until I finished my cup.

Note that this location of Roar is extremely limited in space, so you gotta be careful when walking around (my latte almost fell twice) + get ready for uncomfortable seating or no seats at all, and in my opinion, it's more of a "touristy" cafe than...

Roar is a small coffee house just off the busy roads of 日本橋 and 京橋. It’s a very warm and welcoming place and don’t be fooled by the doors making it seem like it’s closed.

The staff are extremely kind and helpful, they do speak a little English and have an English menu, so you’ll be fine if you don’t speak much Japanese.

The most famous item on the menu is the cafe latte rainbow art drink, which is a sight to behold. I personally don’t like sweet coffee, but this one is worth getting just to enjoy. I also got the standard flat white, Ethiopian blend, which was very delicious.

My fellow travellers got the paninis (chicken and sweet) and they said they were extremely tasty.

Overall, this place is a wonderful getaway spot or an early start if you’re wanting to go...

Tried their raspberry white mocha and hojicha espresso coconut latte and they tasted great! Could clearly taste the flavours that were claimed (e.g., raspberry) and the coffee beans have a nice note too. The highlight is definitely their prosciutto sandwich - they give a generous amount of prosciutto ham, which is nicely cured and not salty at all, and the half-boiled onsen egg further enhances the flavour of the sandwich, causing it to be more layered. Their homemade banana bread is alright - the cinnamon taste is a tad too strong, hope they can tone it down a little; if not it will compete with the banana taste. Definitely worth giving it a try, particularly if you enjoy...
