Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Porta Coffee Stand

A cute little coffee shop in Koenji. The space is rather small so you might not be able to sit inside if it's busy, but if you just need an espresso hit to keep the motor running while you're out and about Vintage clothes shopping then you can't go far wrong. We decided to sit outside for a couple of minutes while we decided our next move and luckily enough someone did leave so the nice girl working the coffee machine invited us in. Inside on the back wall are some magazines and children's books to read so your little ones can be occupied while you recharge. I bought a lovely little Brazilian drip coffee sample pack for later. I'll probably be back soon as I rather liked the place.

Favorite latte in Koenji so far for 3 reasons: better beans, cute atmosphere, open earlier than most cafes (apart from the chains). Need more places like this

Was just exploring the area when I noticed this coffee shop. You can tell a lot about a place by it's way it chooses to present itself. Cute table plants growing in water, a wood and natural green colour scheme. The coffee is great. I had the dark roast in a mocha and my partner had the light in a latte. Both cups arrived with detailed and careful latte art but more importantly the coffee tasted rounded and good. The atmosphere inside is super relaxed and calm, just what you want from a coffee shop. I highly recommend it.
