Cafes and bars in Ginza, Tokyo

Ginza is Tokyo's most expensive postcode, and the cafes and bars here do not pretend otherwise. Cafe de l'Ambre has poured coffee from the same counter since 1948. Everything newer here, rooftop bars, hotel terraces, secret-menu lattes, is trying to earn a place next to that.

6 venues reviewed in Chuo.

  • Cafe de l'Ambre
    Ginza · Steep Index 8.6/10

    Open since 1948. The founder aged beans for decades. You sit at the counter and feel the weight of every cup that came before yours.

  • NAMIKI667
    Ginza, Chuo · Steep Index 8.4/10

    A Ginza hotel bar that earns its address: a 40-metre terrace overlooking Namiki Street, a confident cocktail list built around Japanese spirits, and a happy hour that makes one of Tokyo's most expensive postcodes feel genuinely accessible.

  • Blue Bottle Coffee Ginza Cafe
    Ginza, Chuo · Steep Index 8.3/10

    Same Blue Bottle consistency as every other Tokyo location, in a clean, minimalist room tucked into the basement of GINZA SIX.

  • Roof Dogs
    Ginza, Chuo · Steep Index 8.2/10

    A Ginza rooftop with hammocks, hot dogs, and an uninterrupted Tokyo skyline. You are paying for the view, and it delivers.

  • ROAR COFFEE Tokyo Ginza
    Ginza, Chuo · Steep Index 8.1/10

    House-roasted single-origins in a clean Ginza room, with a secret-menu rainbow latte that earned its Instagram reputation honestly. The ROAR latte is the better argument for coming back.

  • BONGENCOFFEE Tokyo Ginza
    Ginza, Chuo · Steep Index 7.4/10

    A bonsai-lined Ginza stand that trades hard on Instagram, with a coffee that did not live up to the reputation on this visit.
