Hi guys!! Look who is back and what i am doing now!! Im quite excited to be back doing this cafe hopping blog here again!! I have been to any good cafes in japan these days apart from the fact that I go to Starbucks every now and then. Yes i like the coffee at starbucks and where I live, form what I know there are only starbucks where I can get coffee, latte and stuff. However, sometimes when I visit Tokyo, I look for a chance to go to an independent coffee shop, so I get to know more about different coffee. So I found this shop at Ikebukuro in Tokyo just before I met my friend for a catch up, I had a couple hours to kill. Address: 2 Chome-26-3 Minamiikebukuro, Toshiba-ku, Tokyo, 171-0022 My first impression I have to this cafe is really fancy and a relaxing atmosphere. They also sell some different types of their own coffee beans and coffee equipments like coffee press, glass dripper and stuff. Apparently this cafe's selling point is that customers get to try different espresso and compare. I just simply had Latte, so I didn't try that one tho. It was a two stories building and on the ground floor there's a long counter seats against the wall. Then as for the upstairs, there are some comfy couch seats and some chairs and tables It was located in a sort of hidden place, so it was hard to spot. I ordered a hot latte as usual and it was interesting because the staff asked me which espresso beans I wanna drink with. At that time, I had two choices from different regions. The one is from Brazil and the feature of the beans is bitterness. The another one is one Ethiopia and famous for its fruity flavour according to the barista. I ended up picking up the latter one which i don't normally go for. I kinda felt like testing how the latte tastes like with a fruity espresso beans. I could actually understand what the barista described to me, it indeed had the flavour of fruit. It was weird, but as the same time, it was a new experience for me. I liked the idea of letting customers choose their favourite flavour of the espresso coffee beans, so they will enjoy more. When I was drinking my latte half way through, I swirled my cup and stupidly spilt my bloody coffee on my brand new T-shirt I bought the previous day!! I was so pissed off with myself and also embarrassed myself in front of other customers! It was lucky enough that I had a spare Tee to change. But still it was so annoying even though it was all my fault! lol Here is the picture of the latte I had and also I spilt this one! lol The barista had his own routine when making coffee which I found a bit funny, but as long as the taste is good, it was even! The latte art was very impressive and ideal for me. I hope i will get this good someday!! There we go guys!! It has been a while since the last cafe blog, I am glad I got the topic to put on this time!! And just to inform you all of my recent event, I will go back to England in two days, so I am pretty sure there is gonna be more contents to put up in the near future!! SO keep your EYES on it!! Thanks for reading and see you soon!! Cheers!! Y
