Every review in Tokyo

• Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, By Hyatt Steep Pick
  Toranomon, Minato · Steep Index 8.9/10

  The rooftop bar on the 51st floor of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower where the Tokyo skyline does the heavy work and a genuinely imaginative cocktail program does not let it do all of it alone.

• VERVE COFFEE ROASTERS YOYOGI PARK Steep Pick
  Yoyogi, Shibuya · Steep Index 8.8/10

  A California roaster that landed in Tokyo and immediately felt at home: park-facing, communal, and serving some of the most considered pour-over and cold brew in Shibuya.

• Tokyo Confidential Steep Pick
  Azabujuban, Minato · Steep Index 8.8/10

  Six floors above Azabujuban with a secret 7th-floor rooftop that most of Tokyo has not found yet. The cocktails are creative enough that the view almost becomes secondary.

• The Bvlgari Lounge Steep Pick
  Yaesu, Chuo · Steep Index 8.8/10

  A 40th-floor afternoon tea lounge inside Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, built around Italian-inspired sweets, scrumptious scones, and a genuinely exceptional tea list.

• Nadoya no Katte Steep Pick
  Nishihara, Shibuya · Steep Index 8.8/10

  In a small Nishihara space with garden seating and communal tables inside, Nadoya no Katte runs one of Tokyo's most considered coffee experiences. You choose the bean. The barista explains everything. Then you wait, and you taste.

• wine bar juni Steep Pick
  Meguro · Steep Index 8.8/10

  California-born chef Katy Cole opened this eight-seat Meguro natural wine bar and hand-threw every ceramic piece in it. Around sixty bottles, mostly Savoie and Rheinhessen, ten by the glass, in a room that looks like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting had good taste in wine.

• Minimal Tomigaya Steep Pick
  Tomigaya, Shibuya · Steep Index 8.7/10

  The flagship of Tokyo's leading bean-to-bar chocolate maker, a small Tomigaya counter where the room smells like the thing it sells.

• The Bvlgari Bar Steep Pick
  Yaesu, Chuo · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A 45th-floor rooftop bar inside Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, all panoramic skyline views, minimalist Italian design, and a cocktail programme sharp enough to match the address.

• KOFFEE MAMEYA Kakeru Steep Pick
  Hirano · Steep Index 8.7/10

  The only cafe in Tokyo that asks you to make a reservation, and makes you feel, without question, that it was the right call.

• Bloom.by Swell Coffee Roasters
  Himonya, Meguro · Steep Index 8.7/10

  The tucked-away Himonya cafe with a park view and a river beyond it. Come for the crepe and the latte art, stay because the wifi is fast and nobody is going to rush you.

• THREE Steep Pick
  Sangenjaya, Setagaya · Steep Index 8.7/10

  An unmarked second-floor room in Sangenjaya pouring what may be the best matcha in Tokyo, then turning into a cocktail and shisha bar at six.

• One by One Coffee Tokyo Steep Pick
  Ebisu, Shibuya · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A five-seat counter tucked into residential Ebisu, built entirely around rare Geisha coffee poured one cup at a time.
