Go twice because it's coffee bar by day and sake bar by night.The siphon coffee is amazing and the food at night is just awesome. Get the octopus and a bottle of sake. The presentation is extravagant.
Everything here is so cute and unique. Japanese iced coffee is great! Omurice was yum. Hot cakes was phenomenal. We even get to to-go a katsu sandwich. Tots coming back when I'm in NY next.

Most stylish Manhatan's coffee place with best brewed siphon style coffee. Go for Africa. A must visit place in NYC, because style and profesionalism equals Japan. And no espresso machine. Realy Hi.
What a special place. Unlike any of the army of MacBook coffee shops in the City. Coffee is high-grade and artfully brewed. Definitely get a siphon coffee and spend the next 20 mins escaping.
An elegant bar for adults. A quiet place for a contemplative drink, inspired by kissaten (old school Japanese coffee shops). Totally tucked away in the East Village, it makes for a great escape.
Gem of a coffee shop that really knows their stuff - pick from French Press, AeroPress or Siphon, and enjoy the show; grab a quick bite at Curry-Ya next door then end with coffee and dessert here!
I had the royal milk tea and it was incredible. My sister was obsessed with the sugar crystals. The music is so chill, so relaxing. I could have stayed for hours.
Coffee bar in the day, sake bar at night. Tiny spot with great food throughout. Follow their call on your sake bottle and pick your preferred glassware then have a great night of conversation.
Super friendly barkeeps that will eagerly help guide you through their encyclopedic menu of sake by the glass. They also have a Japanese HEATED TOILET SEAT. Wheeee!
Tried the Omurice with Cream Sauce. Fluffy, perfectly seasoned egg, rice with just enough sauce to flavor without overpowering, and a delicate, yet rich cream sauce to finish. In a word, perfect.
Athough the Porto Rico coffee is authentically brutal, this Japanese-style East Villagecafe provides a charming, slow-paced, lunch experience - everything is prepared with care. At night a sake bar.
Peculiarly good vibes here. Feels like you're part of an alternate universe Old Western themed anime. Have some coffee in the morning or some sake at night
They serve a delicious katsu sandwich and excellent coffee at this slick Japanese cafe. It turns into a sake bar at night. Take a few minutes to enjoy the bathroom in the back.
Cafe by day and sake bar by night. In the afternoons they serve lunch, including an impressive pork katsu and seasonally appropriate Japanese vegetables.
Berkshire Pork KatsuSando: Only 10 are made a day; “The tender Berkshire pork is panko-crusted and fried. It’s served with bulldog sauce [Japanese Worcestershire], side of pickles, and potato salad.
This place is f-ing rad. They nailed it on every front: feels like a 30s art-deco / Japanese sake bar along with since of the best syphon coffee I've ever had.
Come in for a sakecocktail & snacks while waiting for a table @ Shabu Tatsu - the places are connected so let the restnt know and get collected for dinner instead of waiting in the cold!
Really amazing everything! Note to other customers though: there are only 13 seats and this not a place for groups. Don't be rude and save a spot for a group in line; this isn't the right setting.
