AOYAMA COFFEE ROASTER

"My Tokyo guide Akira N brought me to this little cafe promising me the best drip coffee in Tokyo. He was right! Kuniko is passionate about her coffee and brews each cup personally to ensure you get the best cup ever! Make sure to stop by her charming shop and savour her brews (cream bun from neighbourhood bakery not included). She’s got a constant stream of customers popping in, so do be patient. You won’t regret it!"

"It's worth going out of your way to visit this sweet little coffee shop tucked away in historic Yanesen, at the start of the snake street. The drip iced coffee was incredibly refreshing. The shop owner shared that she roasts the beans herself, and the careful craftsmanship is so apparent in each cup. Moreover, she was extremely kind and welcoming to us-- it was so lovely to chat with her. I hope we can come back again on our next trip to Japan. Although it's only a short walk from the subway station and Nezu Shrine, it seems like most tourists don't end up exploring here, but I think it is well worth a visit, for a beautiful and peaceful walk through a historically significant residential neighbourhood. Just please be extra respectful of the locals' privacy and space, since you are essentially visiting their home."

"Terrific coffee in a calm, peaceful setting. You can watch your hand drip coffee being made with a huge choice of coffees to pick from. Outstanding."

"Our guide Akira brought us here what a sweet place! The coffee is delicious and done old school, and defiantly try her home made Shiso juice!"

"Not only does the owner take great care in the selection of her coffee, and precise with how she makes it, she is a gem of a human being. After helping my partner and I decide what to order, she served up the perfect cup of coffee. Afterwards she was convivial and a pleasure to talk to. I hope to visit again soon and try the rest of the menu."
