"The atmosphere here is defined by a quiet, industrial intensity. The service is fast and executed with a "choreographed" efficiency that is impressive to watch. It feels very disciplined and high-level. As for the coffee, I tried the Kenya Gichathaini AA. It was a beautiful expression of a washed Kenya: clean and vibrant. The notes of cane sugar and pomelo were very clear, balanced by a nice floral hint of hibiscus tea. If you like your coffee clean and your service organized, this is the"
"Upon entering, you can immediately feel the specialty coffee vibe. Although there was a language barrier and we couldn’t ask more details about the beans, they do provide an English menu with descriptions. Unfortunately, there was no coffee tasting available, which some specialty coffee shops usually offer. They sell coffee beans as well as other merchandise. We ordered a latte, a drip coffee (V60), and cookies. The cookies were exceptionally tasty and definitely a highlight of our visit. However, we were somewhat disappointed with the coffee. The latte did not meet our expectations — it wasn’t bad, but nothing particularly special. We are specialty coffee lovers who drink coffee daily and have visited many cafés around the world. The black coffee was one of the better ones we’ve had in Japan compared to several cafés we tried, but still not quite at the level or quality we were expecting, especially in terms of clarity and tasting the coffee notes. Prices are on the higher side, and given that, we were expecting a higher standard in both taste and overall coffee experience."
"This is a true experience in coffee, in a minimalist set environment. The staff give you tons of information before selecting and the smell & taste is delicious. Bit pricey but worth it for the experience."
"I really enjoyed my experience here. The ambiance is cool, with tall ceilings and lots of natural light, and you sit facing the barista and can watch him work. They have several bean options to choose from, and I went with a Mexican bean that was delicious. The presentation is nice too. You can purchase beans and other coffee items as well. The service was friendly and accommodating. Definitely a place to visit and somewhere I’ll come back to."
"Fantastic coffee at leaves coffee roasters Came on the dot at 10am their opening time and there was already a queue Was seated at the second round after round 15 min Ordered a Panama geisha which was excellent!! Very fruity and clean, very aromatic . Will recommend this place but queuing outside in the sun when it’s 37oC degrees summer may be uncomfortable"
