Go here for a sandwich, but not for Cappuccino/ Latte Macchiato! They feign the appearance of a coffee specialty shop and offer Cappuccino on their menu card, but actually don’t even have the proper equipment required to pull (1) good espresso shots (2) nor to foam milk nicely. I cannot judge their other coffee products as I tried cappuccino only.
I still don’t really know what I was served, but it tasted like filter coffee with a very poor version of milk foam on top of it (both coming from an automated machine).

I was the most pleased with my random selection (yes, I did pick this because of charcoal) of charcoal coffee. Shame that we discovered this gem on our last day in Tokyo, otherwise, I would have definitely made...
Read moreI usually don't really like caramel iced coffee, but I gave it a try here and I was not disappointed. It was lovely. Inside I found a sort of beatles shrine. Apparently this place was once loved by one of the most influential musicians alive: John Lennon. There is a golden record of imagine, signatures from all Beatles members, some artwork by Lennon and there are Beatles songs playing. As a Beatles fan I absolutely love this. There are also some magazines about the beatles. Though, I feel like I should mention: the...
