Hyperlocal Tokyo

It was quite popular during lunchtime, and there was about a 10-minute wait. The coffee was high quality, and I wanted to have several cups, but since refills weren't available, I had to order a new one each time, which was a bit disappointing. The katsu sandwich was very filling and delicious. I definitely want to come back for more!

Previously, you could make reservations for the waitlist online, but now it's been discontinued due to staff shortages. If you're seated within 30 minutes, you're lucky; it usually takes at least an hour. It seems they're severely understaffed, and it's unclear when they can even seat guests. The food itself is delicious and the portions are generous, which goes without saying. I was served a smaller portion of the grilled chicken hot sandwich. I visited on a Sunday at 3 pm, outside of the lunch rush, but didn't actually get seated until after 4 pm. I wanted a table, but they couldn't say when one would be available, so I was seated at the counter, side-by-side with another guest. You'll need to factor in a significant amount of time to avoid running short.

I frequently use this place when I'm working. It's located on the 2nd floor of the Kinshicho Marui. If you exit the south entrance of Kinshicho Station and walk straight ahead, you'll see the store's sign from the outside. I'm very grateful that Komeda Coffee offers decaf coffee, as I tend to consume too much caffeine. Komeda Coffee is an indispensable place for me. Since it's located in front of the station, it's often crowded, but the staff are very calm and guided me smoothly. I will continue to use it for various occasions, such as short breaks, lunch, and work.

Located on the second floor of the Marui Kitasenju store, right by Kitasenju Station. The shop itself is a bit on the small side, but with plenty of windows, it doesn't feel cramped. I sat at the counter and enjoyed a decaf coffee while watching the commuters go by. Even though it was decaf, it had a rich flavor and was delicious. All the staff were very polite and friendly.

It always seems to have a line, no matter when you go. Depending on the time of day, you might have to wait quite a while. Even the single seats have spacious desks, making it easy to spread out books and other items. You can order on your mobile device, so you don't have to call over a server, which is convenient.
