The Space
B2F of GINZA SIX, the room is elegant and simple, very minimalist, closer in feel to a tech showroom than a typical cafe.
The Coffee
The coffee came through rich, smooth and balanced, both iced and hot, matching the consistency this brand holds across every other Tokyo location. The waffle is the go-to order here, consistently moist and good.
The room is minimalist enough to remind you of an Apple Store. The coffee does not need the decoration.
The Vibe
Staff are friendly and genuinely coffee-knowledgeable, the kind of service that matches the polish of the room.
The Verdict
Order the latte and the waffle, both hold up to the standard set at every other Tokyo Blue Bottle. Worth a stop while already at GINZA SIX, more convenience than destination.
