Cafes and bars in Nezu, Tokyo

One of Tokyo's last old-town neighbourhoods. Narrow lanes, temples, and a cluster of cafes that have earned their place without trying to redefine coffee.

3 venues reviewed in Bunkyo.

  • MATCHA&ESPRESSO MIYANO-YU Steep Pick
    Nezu, Bunkyo · Steep Index 8.5/10

    Nezu · Steep Index 8.4/10

    A small matcha-forward cafe a few minutes from Nezu Shrine, sister shop to Miyano-yu, where the custard pudding nearly upstages the matcha latte everyone actually came for.
