Hugo BarraMarch 6, 2016Coffee shop founded in 1948. Try the café oeufs (with an egg yolk)
Upvote7Downvote- Vera VvVApril 12, 2018Really cool coffee bar & if you sit at the bar, they'll let you sniff the coffee beans so you can choose what you want. Great place to relax if your in Ginza!

CatarinaAugust 27, 2013Amazing traditional coffee place, in a beautiful old-fashioned setting. Such a nice experience to see the coffee being hand-brewed in front of you! And a wide variety of coffees, even aged ones!

Walids IbrahimFebruary 27, 2015A must for all coffee lovers. Hand drip coffee from a wide choice of beans. Intimate seating. But if you can't stand people smoking next to you then this is not the place

Charles ChenAugust 21, 2012One of only a few places in the world to have aged coffee beans. A very unique experience for coffee aficionados in an old-time setting. Very little has changed since it opened in 1948. A rare treat.Upvote4Downvote

Emanuel HahnFebruary 3, 2016Unreal coffee experience. Try the Guatemala 03 and/or the Brazil Bourbon. Well worth the money.

MarcFebruary 25, 2019Eater: kissaten, old-school coffee shops; owner Ichiro Sekiguchi died in ‘18, heirs intend to maintain his devotion to premium coffee beans, some of them aged for decades. A venerable Tokyo treasure.UpvoteDownvote
No shortage of coffee in Ginza, but Cafe de l'ambre is a celebration of the coffee bean, go demitasse at this classic kissaten

Bk ThongNovember 1, 2015Good coffee. Just the workers here a bit fussy on the seating. My legs crossed over A BITt to the other seat which was NOT occupied, the waiter asked me to place back my legs at my own area!UpvoteDownvote- Craig HooleyApril 21, 2019This place makes amazing traditional drip coffee but they literally just serve coffeeUpvoteDownvote
Tarek DaoukApril 11, 2019Must do in Tokyo. This place transports you in time. Great ambiance and coffeeUpvoteDownvote

Issa OgataDecember 13, 2017Very special and unique place. Of you like coffee you cant miss this stop!UpvoteDownvote
Ken SuhOctober 3, 2017Coffee tastes alright but it’s too expensive with single cup size. It’s literally espresso cup size and it costs over 800YEN.UpvoteDownvote
Ange SDecember 2, 2016They literally only have coffee. And coffee jelly. But if you are looking for decaf and cakes, this is not the place for you.

Gary ChisholmNovember 5, 2013If the coffee isn't enough to convince you to go, then the old-timey atmosphere will be.Upvote1Downvote
- They even have aged beans from decades ago!UpvoteDownvote
Vic FAugust 7, 2014美味しいコーヒーに命を賭けてる店。はっきり書くとコーヒー好きには素晴らしく、また楽しいが、インスタントで十分と思っている美味しいコーヒーを求めない人には勧めない。初めて行かれる方には、コーヒーの好み、つまり濃い薄い酸味や苦味や甘さとかを言えるようになると店員にお勧めを聞けるので困りませんし、この店に行く意味がでてきます。Upvote4Downvote
コーヒーがおいしいとは思うが、店の雰囲気があまり好きじゃない。店員さんの、下っ端の店員さんへのパワハラ的接し方とか。
