    This is a nice cafe and bookshop on Jimbocho Bookstreet. The café offers good coffee and various snacks and food options. All the books are in Japanese.

    An outdoor sign caught my eyes! I was tempted by the menu board which said "Lamb keema curry" and I got sucked into the cafe. The spicy curry was delicious! If you are a lamb curry fan, this is the place to visit. This cafe is located on the corner in a famous book shops area. You can enjoy books, coffee and curry!

    The quite little place that serves food. You can grab alcohol or warm tea or coffee. Reading options for Japanese books if you know Japanese. Located in nice corner along with the lots of bookstores.

    Nice place to chill. Friendly staff too.

  • 5/5 Sophie B. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful coffee shops rife with excellent academic books that you can buy (especially philosophy, economics, and literature). Very working friendly atmosphere, since most of the customers are here to enjoy reading books or discuss while sipping a coffee.

    Good place to chill. Check the bookshelf full of Iwanami books!

  • 4/5 Igor O. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place to spend sometime reading a book and enjoying a drink. They also have foods, but I haven't tried it yet. As for the drink I would recommend the cold brew coffee, it is great. Japanese name is 新書判コーヒー。 The chocolate brownie is wonderful too, it's slim and complements the cold brew just right. In the menu it goes by name チョコレートショップ「nel」のブラウニー。 If you want to stay you heed to order a drink. It's ok to read your own book, or one of the selection the shop has to offer. You can also buy a book here. Take it slowly, enjoy your time 😉

    Nice, small bookstore with a cafe. We looked at the books and the. sat down for a minute before ordering and were quickly informed ‘where the ordering area was located’. We’d planned to get coffee but decided to go elsewhere. I understand where they’re coming from, but this made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. It seems like a nice place as long as you plan to order drinks immediately and constantly.

    Very nice, quiet and well stocked book store that also has spaces to work from! Go with a laptop, get a coffee and you’re set. Staff are very polite and friendly

  • 5/5 Alon (. 8 months ago on Google
    Cool place to drink coffee and read a good book. Jazz music in the background and really nice staff. Brownie is amazing.

  • 5/5 Brandon Khoo (. 1 year ago on Google
    ¥1000 wagyu curry + bottomless drinks + books galore + maximum comf environment + extremely convenient location = a place you'd definitely want to visit for lunch and relaxation!

👍👍 The average google maps reviews for this location are so high due to a maid cutely asking you to provide them with a review / while hovering until you do so. I still loved my time here despite this distasteful practice. That being said, the experience is exactly what one would want from a maid cafe...

😐 Interesting experience, desserts are good. Food is okay. The maids really hound you for a review and they watch you input it, so the ratings are probably overinflated. Do note that there’s like a 880 yen service charge and each person needs to order an item. The items are overinflated in price, but...

😠 Underwhelming and disappointing. Minimal interaction with maid. There was only 1 maid on the second floor when we were there. Ambiance was poor. Tourist trap given the high rating on Google review. Would give this place a miss.

👍👍 For the English reader there are only really 2 bookstores in Tokyo that you can rely on, one next to Tokyo station - this one, and the Kinokuniya in Shinjuku. It’s a good respite from the rest of the places if you are traveling in Japan and need a rest and also have a craving for an English environm...
