Tully's Coffee Sumida Park Shop — Restaurant in Tokyo

Don’t expect a pleasant service or even a beverage.

Tip…Hide your rubbish! If you have rubbish that you can’t throw away immediately hide it out of sight so this person won’t stop you from entering the cafe to buy a drink.

Wasn’t allowed to enter the cafe to buy anything to take out. Never experienced such awful service before. It has tainted my image of Tully’s.

A person I assume is the manager was rather unpleasant. We had empty drink containers that we had been carrying half the day as Tokyo is lacking in public bins. The person automatically assumed we were foreigners attempting to speak to us in English saying we could not enter the store with our empty drinks containers.

I was fortunate to get a window seat although it was not quite right in front. I ordered a seasonal Sakura matcha latte. It was oishii. Not too sweet. I had a mixed feeling about the atmosphere. There were half people reading and the rest were chatting quietly but just one table of tourists were talking lively. But I was glad they didn’t stay long. There’s also outside seating and another room with...

This Tully's is not so much for the food or coffee, but definitely for the views and vibe. Despite being practically next door to the ultra-busy Asakusa, it feels worlds away with its calm atmosphere and unbeatable views.

The staff are also able to converse confidently in English, which is a huge help to tourists who don't really speak any Japanese.

Seats are a bit limited, because it's quite a small store, so best time to go is probably in the evening when crowds...
