Mermaid Coffee Roasters Ikebukuro

"Pumpkin Latte, Cola Coffee, Hot Dog . A unique hidden gem cafe in ikebukuro with very energetic staff greeting all incoming guess tirelessly 👍🏻 Pumpkin Latte surprisingly awesome! Not too overly sweet or overpowered but enough to bring the pumpkin taste while still having latte taste! Cola coffee also refreshing which using their own cola brew which less cola taste but still elevating and give sweetness to the espresso taste. Hot dog has a unique dog like presentation with ‘tail’ up made of real bone stick into the sausage. Sausage is crunchy on the outside while juicy in the inside, match very well with the tomato sauce and a nice bun. . #jpfoodies #jpfood #mermaidcoffeeroaster #hotdog #pumpkinlatte #colacoffee #tomatosauce"

"We had the iced cola coffee. It was spectacular. Excellently balanced coffee with cola. So if you’re a fan of the Iyoshi Cola, you should come and try it with excellent coffee. The ambiance is also top tier. We also had the cookies and a scone that had a nice buttery crumble. Totemo oishii desu yo!"

"This place like other people have mentioned is truly a hidden gem. The staff are all genuinely warm and friendly, there was a time I went around later at night with my friends and when it was closing time for the cafe, the staff were very chill about it being past closing time, and kindly told us they were closing. On our way out, in Japanese, they said, Oyasumi nasai (goodnight), which rarely happens in cafes/restaurants here in Japan. Their coffee and cookies are an absolute delight...and the whole cafe is like walking into a museum/story book with their different decorated/themed floors (the top floor is a cozy rooftop outdoor seating area). Definitely recommend!!"

"Wow, this place is incredibly cozy! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a cozy afternoon to work or relax. They have a wide selection of coffee, and there are three floors of seating: the basement, which is more of a lounge, and the second and third floors, which are ideal for working and studying if you can find a spot. I must emphasize the kindness of the staff!"

"A cafe with stylish décor, excellent service, and high quality coffee. The shop has four levels with plenty of cozy seating. They roast their own beans in-house, and you can try different ones before choosing your drink. Good coffee can be hard to find, but I’m really glad I found this place. I highly recommend it. To make the experience even better, the staff greet every customer with a cheerful “good morning” and warm thank-yous as they leave."
