Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜SILVER LINING

Cute coffee shop near the train station. They have a front counter room and then a smaller back room with a communal table and coffee roaster. Check insta for what sweets they have that day (the cakes and coffee can be taken to go, and they also have bigger dine-in meals which I didn’t do because, well, COVID). The beans are broken down by roast (mostly dark/medium), and staff were super thoughtful. Pic is from a nearby park where I took my drink.

A brand new hidden gem coffee place. With a counter and good music, it’s like a bar. A few options on menu (including alcohol). Better go alone or a small group.

It was the most delicious coffee and cake. I had it with flannel drip, and the aftertaste was so great that it felt like I was eating chocolate with it. My mouth was happy!
