After compiling all my coffee shop explorations, I have finally completed my ultimate guide to all things Tokyo coffee shops! First, there are SO many coffee shops in this ever expanding city.

Holthe loved the idea of opening a location after spending time in Toyko and took Kojima Kenji under his wing. They then opened Fuglen Tokyo. A small Norwegian cafe now had it’s second location that has slowly grown in popularity for locals and foreigners alike.
