Macchinesti Coffee

Hands down, here is one of my most favorite coffee shops in Tokyo! I love the cozy atmosphere, which is good to do some lone writing or reading but is also equally good to catch up with a friend over good coffee and tasty sweets. The cafe also has books on coffee, architecture, and baking recipes. Some items I would recommend: hand-drip coffees, café con leche, cinnamon roll, hummingbird cake. The chocolate cake in the picture was decent. And for those with a sweet tooth: The selection of desserts seems to be more limited in midweek. Perhaps it's better to visit at another time ;) -- (edited to improve accuracy 2024/07/05)

The interior of this cafe is very cozy and inviting—perfect for spending a rainy afternoon. However, I found the food and drinks a bit disappointing. My iced coffee was too diluted, lacking the rich flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the mocha bread, which was overly sweet for my taste. They warmed it up without asking, which I know many might prefer, but I would have liked the option to choose. The service was okay, but not particularly welcoming. Overall, while the atmosphere is lovely, I wish the food and service matched the ambiance.

The hype is real! The lattes are great. The staff looked very passionate about coffee as I saw them practicing a lot and taking pictures of their work. It’s a bit far from any train station, but if you have some time or are in the area please check them out.
