01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Along a street in Shimura, Itabashi, head up the stairs of an office building and open the 2nd-floor door to reveal a clean, refined cafe interior. The room cannot easily be seen from outside, which may prompt a moment of hesitation at first, but a warm welcome and an unhurried atmosphere await just beyond the entrance.
The drink menu at minagi cafe provides plenty of options to match your mood, beginning with classic drip coffee and slowly steeped cold brew. Alongside crisp, clean cafe lattes and caramel lattes, there are comforting, full-flavored drinks such as rich matcha lattes, spiced house chai, and ginger chai. For times when coffee is not what you are after, craft cola and craft ginger ale offer distinctive soft drink alternatives.
You can linger over baked sweets in the relaxed sofa seating or pick up a drink to take away, making the cafe an easy fit into the rhythm of the day. Whenever you need a quiet retreat to pause and recharge, it is well worth walking up the stairs.
