豆虎 中目黒焙煎所

Tucked along the Meguro River in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, SIDEWALK COFFEE STAND is a stylish, concrete-toned coffee stand known for its carefully brewed specialty coffee. The signature caffe latte, made with a dark-roast double shot, is praised for being rich and full-bodied while finishing clean and refreshing on the palate. The menu also includes hot sandwiches and baked sweets.

Factory & Labo 神乃珈琲

At Factory & Labo Kanno Coffee in Meguro, Tokyo, a large in-house roasting machine rises in the center of the room, and watching it work gives the place the appeal of a hands-on workshop tour. The deeply roasted coffee here is highly praised for being fragrant and clean on the palate, without any harsh notes, and it pairs beautifully with the carefully prepared sweets, such as the matcha and yuzu bavarois (a light, molded custard-cream dessert). Roomy seating is spread across the first and second floors, creating a calm, unhurried setting where you will want to settle in and stay a while. It is a welcoming spot to recommend to anyone who loves good coffee.

ファソン

A two-minute walk from Nakameguro Station, Facon is a house-roasting specialty coffee shop honored among Tabelog's Top 100. While light roasts dominate the current scene, this cafe is praised for a cup built on a rich, full-bodied dark roast and a deep, lingering aroma on the finish. Alongside the coffee, it offers a selection of cakes, including its most popular drink, the Au Lait Glace at 810 yen, and a rare gateau chocolat at 890 yen. The calm, composed interior calls to mind a European street corner, making it an inviting place to settle in with a book and pass the time slowly and comfortably.

Under the mat
