Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜MIA MIA TOKYO

Third wave is the best wave. Learn more by chatting with the gregarious Australian owner of this charming cafe who was also a coffee writer for years. He is connected to coffee culture in tokyo in a deep way and has a line of coffee-themed handkerchiefs and other items. They are available in the cafe and the full line is available online. Such a friendly crew at MIA MIA. No AC but I didn’t even notice so come sit and enjoy.

Coffee Time & Big Love. Delightful coffeehouse off the beaten track. Warm hospitality will have you staying to chat with strangers for hours, leaving as friends.

I can't express the precious, priceless, wondrous quality of time spent here: Art is not made of crayons or paint, canvas or ink, but made from the soul of humanity. Here coffee and snacks are made in the same caring, beautiful, expressive way. And friendships too! All are made of the simplest and purest stuff, expertly crafted for taste impressions & memories to last a lifetime. Edible, drinkable, huggable, lovable, memorable works of art. Humanity refined and perfected. BIG LOVE! (as they say) There is no tipping culture in Japan as we have in America, but I found myself wanting to pay 2x from gratitude. The place is not low-budget, honestly a bit premium. Yet you'll find the experience of this place and its people, worth far more than the money you'll pay. When I return to Japan, I'll hurry back to Mia Mia (Coffee Time) Café.
