Cafes and bars in Yokohama

Japan's second-largest city and its oldest treaty port, thirty minutes from Tokyo by train. Coffee entered the country here in the 1850s when the port opened to foreign trade, and the specialty scene rebuilding around Minato Mirai and Japan's largest Chinatown is still catching up to that history.

3 venues reviewed, each visited and scored in person.

• Tsukikoya Specialty Coffee Roaster's shop Steep Pick
  Yamashitacho · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A takeout coffee stand near Chinatown's Suzaku Gate, with a bean selection serious enough to be worth the trip and staff who'll happily walk you through all of it.

• UNI COFFEE ROASTERY Yokohamaakarengasoko
  Shinko · Steep Index 7.3/10

  A UNI COFFEE ROASTERY branch inside Yokohama's Red Brick Warehouse, drawing a steady crowd of locals and tourists on a wide food and drink menu, though the cold brew didn't hold up its end.

• Coffee Roastery Meguro
  Yamashitacho · Steep Index 4.5/10

  A Yamashitacho roastery with a real roaster in view and a Flair lever machine displayed on a table like a piece of art, undercut by unfriendly service and a badly watered-down iced latte.
