Cafes and bars in Kamakura

A former seat of Japan's medieval shogunate, now an easy coastal day trip from Tokyo where temples and surf beaches share the same square mile. The cafe culture here moves at the pace of the coast, not the capital.

• 27 COFFEE ROASTERS KAMAKURA -Cafe & Beans- Steep Pick
  Komachi · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A Komachi cafe with genuinely excellent brunch and a cold brew worth ordering on its own, roomy enough to work, read, or just sit a while.

• Ignis Coffee Steep Pick
  Komachi · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A takeout coffee stand on Komachi pouring Panama Geisha and other serious beans, with a bench out front worth actually sitting on.

• Slow Rush Coffee
  Onarimachi · Steep Index 5.0/10

  A highly-rated Onarimachi cafe that badly missed on this visit, an off-tasting espresso and a genuinely bad affogato.
