Nice coffee place in Ebisu.
Afuri was my go-to ramen chain in Toyko. Read more in the note about the shop in Harajuku.
This small bar in Ebisu is one of my favorite places in Tokyo: great whiskey selection, helpful staff and I loved the music they were playing.
A nice cocktail bar in Ebisu with a very friendly barkeeper. If you are looking for an alternative: Bar Track is not far and is a little bit more casual.
Located in Daikanyama this place serves great (and huge) sandwiches.
Nicely curated selection of music and clothes. You can also get coffee there.
If you are in the area be sure to visit this traditional house and garden (it’s close to the Daikanyama station). Right after you can follow the street downhill and you’ll end up at the Nakameguro river.
A nice building in Daikanyama with a gallery and coffee place located inside.
A small coffee shop in Meguro.
This is for sure one of my top places in Tokyo. Three interlinked buildings filled with art books, magazine, literature, DVDs and music. I’ve spent hours here reading, sitting around and enjoying the place – and as it is open for a long time it is perfect for the first jetlagged days in Tokyo.
Afuri was my go-to ramen chain in Toyko. At the end of my stay in Tokyo I was living quite close to this one, so I’ve frequented this the most. While the others have a basket for your belongings (like many places in Tokyo), this one has a rack. Read a little bit more in the note about the shop in Harajuku.
The Tokyo branch of the New York City based surf brand Saturdays. Even if their clothes are not your thing go there for a coffee and sit in the back patio which has a great view over the suburbs of Daikanyama.
