Meguro City, Tokyo, Japan｜Y2T STAND

Delicious coffee, inviting atmosphere, and superb aesthetics combine to turn this relatively tiny shop into a relaxing outlet in a cozy section of Tokyo. Couldn't recommend this enough to any foreigners as well, as the owner is quite proficient in dealing with non Japanese speaking customers.

Stumbled upon this place as I was searching for somewhere to take a work call and have been coming back since! Cozy cafe/lunch spot by day and Portuguese cuisine restaurant/bar by night. Variety of music playing downstairs, but the silent upstairs is the perfect spot for working while sipping on a cup of high-quality tea. Lunch servings are a tiny bit scarce, though. For the evening, they have great wine (and portions!) and a nice variety of apps & dishes. Big plus: staff here are very friendly and kind, making for a wonderful experience.

Very friendly staff. They were very accommodating even though my Japanese was poor. The menu is in English but I practiced my katakana reading on the Japanese side of the menu. The shop is quaint and comfy. I bought 450¥ for a latte and 430¥ for an Americano. Options for hot or cold drinks as well.
