Wonderful Coffee Shop in Shibuya!

If you love coffee shops and want to try something a little high end then I highly recommend this shop in Shibuya. It's very close to the station and will take you into a more old antiqueish classy atmosphere. Way different than the crazy outside! It's a little dark but the wood furniture is definitely relaxing and a great place to catch up with old friends. Of course, if you're a non-smoker and there happen to be a lot of smokers in the shop then it may be a little stuffy and hard to breath. Each cup of coffee is around 800~900 yen so it can be on the expensive side if you're visiting from outside of Japan. It's pretty normal for stand-alone coffee shops. The coffee itself is very high end and made one by one in a very specific way. It's fun to watch and of course if you're a coffee lover you'll easily be able to tell the difference in taste! While I didn't have their dessert menu items I heard their chiffon cake is also amazing! My favorite part of this shop wasn't the coffee or the atmosphere but probably more so the coffee cups that they drinks are served in. They are beautiful and really tempting to steal.... each one is also different so you'll be able to see something new each time!
