Hyperlocal Tokyo

The stylish exterior and spacious, glass-walled interior make a strong impression. The air conditioning is effective, creating a comfortable space that makes you forget the summer heat. The Spicy Lemonade is visually refreshing and stylish, but the lack of a stirring tool resulted in uneven flavor as I drank it. It might have been a bit lacking in punch for something called "Spicy" (laughs). The Cold Brew has a slightly thin flavor with a distinct acidity. It's served in a stylish glass, making it perfect for enjoying the atmosphere. While it doesn't have a special feel, the ambiance of the store allowed me to relax. I visited before dinner, so I had to skip the desserts, but I definitely want to try them next time.

I stopped by on a weekday morning, a little too early for lunch. The line for ordering stretched out onto the sidewalk. The shop was crowded, but there were some empty seats, and the turnover was fast, so I was able to take a break at a table. My friend ordered a latte, and I ordered a cappuccino. The cappuccino had a slightly strong acidity, but I like that, so it was good for me because I wanted something refreshing. If you want a larger quantity, the latte might be better. I wanted to order a waffle, but my friend was on a diet, so I refrained.

I went to [VERVE] in Roppongi with Rie, which is always packed with customers. The weather was nice this time, and there were some open seats on the terrace, so we decided to enjoy some coffee. I think their blend is best enjoyed black. It has a nice aroma and a pleasant bitterness. Rie seemed happy with her cafe au lait, which looked delicious. This place is so relaxing.

Located at 5-16-7 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, is Verve Coffee Roasters Roppongi. I visited for breakfast. The shop is stylish with glass walls! It has a high ceiling, giving it an open feel, and there are seats on the second floor. There are also tables outside, which would be nice on a warm day. I ordered a drip coffee for 520 yen and a Red Hot Tuna (half) for 660 yen. The KITB-KAMAKURA blend coffee has a strong bitterness, but not much acidity, making it easy to drink. The Red Hot Tuna (half) is characterized by Thai chili paste and capers. It has plenty of ingredients inside and is more filling than I expected. Thank you for the meal.

It's perfectly fine to go alone! 👌 There are plenty of seats, including seven 4-person tables on the terrace, and the interior has both a first and second floor. The female staff member was very kind and made the place feel welcoming. ☕️ I think they accept most forms of payment besides cash. 🙆 I didn't try the baked goods this time because I was going to have dinner later, but there were so many different kinds that I'll definitely try them next time. 🙂 When your order is ready, they'll call out your name, so it's best to take off your headphones. 🌬️ It was a truly lovely cafe! ✨
