Yoyogiuehara
Discover 2 specialty coffee shops in Yoyogi-Uehara and Uehara — one of Tokyo's most stylish residential neighborhoods. From the world award-winning Acide Coffee Tokyo to the creative multi-use space No., explore these distinctive cafés on an interactive map.
Yoyogi-Uehara has 2 specialty coffee shops that consistently rank among Tokyo's most interesting: Acide Coffee Tokyo, known for rare-process natural and anaerobic lots, and No. — a minimalist space that lets the coffee speak for itself.
Yoyogi-Uehara is one of Tokyo's most sought-after residential neighborhoods — a calm, tree-lined pocket of Shibuya known for its natural food shops, independent boutiques, and quietly discerning café scene. The two specialty coffee shops here couldn't be more different from each other, but both reflect the area's commitment to quality and originality.
Acide Coffee Tokyo lives up to its bold tagline: "Super Fruity!" The café is run by a barista with international competition credentials, and the menu centres on naturally processed coffees with vivid, expressive fruit-forward flavour profiles. Pour-over is the method of choice, and retail beans are available — this is a destination for anyone who has yet to experience how spectacularly fruity specialty coffee can be.
No., operated by creative team 301 and located on the ground floor of the Cabo building on Uehara 1-chome, is something harder to categorize. From 9am to 6pm it functions as a café, with an espresso-focused coffee menu; in the evening it transforms into a bar. The space itself is part of the experience — considered, creative, and deeply of this neighborhood.
Getting here: Walk from Yoyogi-Uehara Station (Odakyu Odawara Line / Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line).
