Omotesando Koffee ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 

What I would do for the love of coffee.

I ventured out to the quiet streets of this residential area in Tokyo between Omotesando
and Gaienmae to have a taste of "the best iced cappuccino" in the city.
(Thank you, Google Maps! I wouldn't have done it without you.)

Omotesando Koffee is a traditional Japanese house converted into a coffee shop. It is the
bigger sister to Toranomon Koffee, where I had a hot mocha earlier the same day.

There was no signage but this. It was as if the owners did not want people to find this place.
I loved it all the more.

Inside the house was a very minimalist coffee bar

The menu was very simple: Koffee Kashi, Hot Koffee, Iced Koffee

It was 4pm and the "kashi" or baked custard was all sold out. Sniff.

I settled for just an iced cappuccino. 
BUT this was everything but "just an iced cappuccino."
It was rich, frothy, and so beautifully crafted I found myself still sucking on
the straw long after the cup had been emptied, not wanting to waste a
single drop of the excellent coffee.

I sat on that bench while enjoying my cold drink and my moment of zen

Omotesando Koffee is such a peaceful oasis
in a bustling city like Tokyo.

 

The only sound you can hear is me sucking on my straw.
