Modest coffee to start, a steadier cup in the middle, and the city's best reason to skip a fourth coffee entirely: a two-day-marinated French toast worth sitting down for. Also works on a Tuesday, just not a Monday or a Wednesday. ## The route - [1. Arbor Coffee](https://thesteep.app/cities/tokyo/arbor-coffee)Kagurazaka, Shinjuku Open from 09:00, closed Wednesdays — start here or not at all, since it closes at 17:00. The sandwiches are genuinely delicious; the coffee has lacked flavor and balance on two separate visits, so keep expectations modest on the drink. 3 min walk to the next stop - [2. AKHA AMA COFFEE KAGURAZAKA](https://thesteep.app/cities/tokyo/akha-ama-coffee-kagurazaka)Kagurazaka, Shinjuku Open daily, no closing day, the one stop here with no schedule to work around. Sits almost exactly between the other two. 6 min walk to the next stop - [3. Shimada Café](https://thesteep.app/cities/tokyo/shimada-cafe-kagurazaka)Kagurazaka, Shinjuku Closed Mondays, open from 11:00 to 21:00 (L.O. 20:30) — the latest opener and the latest closer of the three, which is why it closes the route. Order the French toast, two days in the making. Skip the latte. A good place to sit with a book afterward. [More in Tokyo →](https://thesteep.app/cities/tokyo)
