Late night bar, intimate, delicious personal drinks. Seriously great
Kate FurmanMarch 23, 2015
They have the fancy Japanese toto toilet with the heated seat. Coffee is good too.

Adorable, tiny Japanese café with great coffee and snacks.

Love love love! Try the ginza style slow drip coffee and the classic katsu sandwich. Amazing
Alex RobertsonApril 12, 2019
Went on a date right when it (re)opened and had an absolute blast/the place to ourselves. Didn't love the fried chicken though
nina arbuaratnaAugust 28, 2014
The pancake setto comes with orange marmalade butter...best paired with a pour-over Tokyo blend coffee.
KAugust 18, 2015
Stopped by on a whim & had the friendliest & most accommodating bartenders! Try a sake cocktail!
Paul BrennerAugust 10, 2014
Get here early! Everything is made with care and the utmost quality, but seats fill up fast and turn over slow.
Laurence BAugust 27, 2015
Many cold options including cold brew and siphon. Nice, cute little shop. Prices charged don't always match the menu, oddly.
Ronak DayaMay 12, 2017
The best sake bar in NYC! It's like traveling to Tokyo through the east village.
Claire YuFebruary 10, 2015
Try the siphon coffee! Everyone seems to know everyone here. It's a very intimate Japanese coffee kan.
Steve RhinehartOctober 4, 2013
Coffee served with care, attention to every detail. Get the hot cakes and a siphon to stay.
Melon LNovember 4, 2018
Hot cakes are worth coming to nyc for. Seriously. It’s closer than Japan, after all.
Estelle TchaMarch 20, 2018

Tomago sandwich perfect fluffy omelet with thinly sliced cucumbers perfect

Non-sweet plum wine is still plenty sweet. Wagyu and pork platter is delicious.
Amanda TheilerFebruary 27, 2015
japanese pancakes $8.50-go before 11 and it's $2 cheaper, also, you have to order a drink or you pay $2 more!!

Recommending the chicken katsu sandwich, or the pork, which are only served on a limited basis after 12pm

White sauce omurice is amazing here!
Alex RobertsonDecember 5, 2021
New space on ninth street maybe slightly less cute with the lack of a narrow “train-car” vibe but also probably better in all
Brook ShelleyOctober 1, 2015
Delicious coffee, neat decor, and a Toto washlet
VincentAugust 8, 2016
Bad service. Ordered an iced siphon and it took 15 minutes before she even started making it and served it to me hot. Our barista seemed snobbish. Fancy place and nice decor but bad vibe.
Alex RobertsonOctober 19, 2017
great space and service
CarrieOctober 31, 2021
The lychee drinks were nice. I also thought the gyu-don was pretty tasty.
