Nordic coffee house in the middle of Tokyo.Whenever I feel I'm missing those cinnamon buns and a cup of good coffee this is the place to go! Maybe the best coffee in Tokyo with switch coffee.

Chef Katy buys everything directly from farmers she travels around Japan to meet. Her food is heatfelt and inspired from her California origins and the space has such a good vibe. Expect a crowd of local ex-pats, japanese creatives and friends stopping in for a glass of wine on the way home.

Great coffee, sourdogh and breakfast dishes in Nihonbashi by Californian pastry duo.Parklet is a bakery and café on a side street in Nihonbashi. It’s run by Kate Jaksich, who worked at Tartine Bakery in San Francisco and Jerry Jaksich, previously at Chez Panisse in California.

Bricolage bread & co.
Japan, 〒106-0032 Tokyo, Minato City, Roppongi, 6-chōme−15−１ けやき坂テラス1F
Bricolage bread & co., founded by Shinobu Namae of LEffervescence and baker Ayumu Iwanaga, started its journey offering comfort through sandwiches in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Today, the establishment embodies the essence of "bricolage," a French word meaning "DIY," infusing every aspect of the place - from bread to design - with a hands-on, personal touch. Not just about the bread or coffee, it's a space where every element reflects their values, aiming to highlight the importance of everyday food and the joy it brings.

Perfect croissants, pastry and sourdough bread and also a wine bistro.When all of the sudden in the midst of Tokyo you will miss your perfect croissant in the morning. Started by the mind behind the L’Effervescence, Shinobu Namae, this is your gluten happy place in the rice country. Indulge in perfect (yet not usually shaped) croissants, monocles with matcha or simply a slice of sourdough bread (baked with Japanese grown wheat or spelt) and some whipped tofu aside. The Bakery shares space with a bistro with a nice selection of European natural wines - if you happen to stay for the afternoon .
