Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan｜Cafe TESOLAR

It’s a hidden gem in a back alley just three minutes by walk from the iconic building of Kengo Kuma (Kadokawa Musashino Museum)! If you love coffee, you definitely don’t want to miss this nice, cozy and calm coffee shop. It was opened in November of 2020 and is eco friendly, all the energy is solar generated. The master is very friendly and soft person and really knows how to brew good coffee. Jazz tunes and acoustic covers flow softly, creating calming vibe. Variety of coffee includes specialty coffee from different countries, all of them are single coffee, not blend. I ordered Ethiopian coffee and loved its fruity fragrant aroma. Cheese cake was so soft and creamy, I totally enjoyed it. If you come to see the Kengo Kuma building, a cup of coffee in this coffee shop would be a perfect addition to your journey.

Very cool local place. Recently opened last November 2020. Owner is also Eco-friendly. First time I had coffee made from a flask. Very cool for me. The coffee was very flavorful. I had the Ethiopian coffee. The owner was very nice and speaks a little bit of English. The decor is also gives the comfy homey feel. Plenty of natural light.

I liked every detail about this place. Good coffee and desserts, nicest music and ambience, and the loveliest owner - he overheard my friend and I speaking in English and came over to greet us. Perfect place to spend on a rainy afternoon.
