Updated 22 September 2026. This is a limited planning aid, not a review, a citywide ranking, or a record of editorial visits or tastings. The places below were included because a current official venue or visitor page provides useful public information. It is not intended to identify Tokyo’s “best” coffee.
Kiyosumi Shirakawa: an area to plan around
The Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau describes Kiyosumi Shirakawa as an area with independent roasters and cafés, as well as Kiyosumi Gardens and the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station is served by the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and the Toei Oedo Line, according to the same visitor guide. Use the guide as a starting point for an itinerary, then confirm individual venues directly before travelling.
Nakameguro: ONIBUS COFFEE, Nakameguro 3-chome
ONIBUS COFFEE’s Nakameguro 3-chome page lists the shop at 3-23-16 Nakameguro, Meguro, Tokyo. At the time this guide was checked, the page stated hours of 09:00–18:00 and noted irregular closures. Those details can change, so use the venue’s page for the latest information before making a trip.
Tomigaya / Shibuya: FUGLEN TOKYO
FUGLEN TOKYO is listed by its official site at 1-16-11 Tomigaya, Shibuya, Tokyo. The site identifies the location as Coffee & Bar. Check FUGLEN’s own location information for current hours, service details, menus, accessibility and any temporary changes.
Aobadai, Meguro: Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo
Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo gives its address as 2-19-23 Aobadai, Meguro, Tokyo. Its official page presents four floors of offerings and asks visitors to use public transport because there is no parking. The page also carries current visitor and reservation information; consult it directly before travel rather than relying on a static guide.
Before you go
- Confirm each venue’s hours, menus, payment methods, reservations, accessibility arrangements and temporary closures directly with that business.
- The Japan National Tourism Organization says that tipping is not common in cafés and restaurants in Japan. Read its tipping guidance for the limited national context; individual service practices are not covered here.
- This guide intentionally does not make claims about drink quality, seating, crowds, Wi-Fi, languages spoken or citywide café norms.
