Cafes and bars in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo
Minami-Aoyama trades on the same upscale reputation as Kita-Aoyama to its north, but wears it differently. Little Darling Coffee Roasters is the real coffee argument here, a proper roastery with garden views inside a converted warehouse. The rest of the neighbourhood, a fashion house's espresso bar among them, is happy to trade some of that seriousness for good design.
