Arabica of Tokyo

There are two cafés I didn’t include in my original post about new cafés in Tokyo: % Arabica. That’s because they’re so special, they deserve their own post.

I first discovered % Arabica when I visited Kyoto, where they started. During a short trip there in 2017, I managed to visit all three of their cafés. Since then, Arabica has received major investment and expanded globally. I’ve now visited their locations in Morocco, New York City, and Taipei.

At the time of writing this, there are only two shops in Tokyo—bizarrely, both are in the same mall, just four floors apart. This made visiting both incredibly easy, even if it meant I had two Kyoto lattes within the span of two hours.

One is located on the top floor of the Azabudai Hills mall, with both indoor and outdoor seating. 

The other Arabica is located on the ground floor of Azabudai Hills, near the TeamLabs exhibit. There’s very limited seating.
