Leaves Coffee Roasters

The atmosphere here is defined by a quiet, industrial intensity. The service is fast and executed with a "choreographed" efficiency that is impressive to watch. It feels very disciplined and high-level. As for the coffee, I tried the Kenya Gichathaini AA. It was a beautiful expression of a washed Kenya: clean and vibrant. The notes of cane sugar and pomelo were very clear, balanced by a nice floral hint of hibiscus tea. If you like your coffee clean and your service organized, this is the

Upon entering, you can immediately feel the specialty coffee vibe. Although there was a language barrier and we couldn’t ask more details about the beans, they do provide an English menu with descriptions. Unfortunately, there was no coffee tasting available, which some specialty coffee shops usually offer. They sell coffee beans as well as other merchandise. We ordered a latte, a drip coffee (V60), and cookies. The cookies were exceptionally tasty and definitely a highlight of our visit. However, we were somewhat disappointed with the coffee. The latte did not meet our expectations — it wasn’t bad, but nothing particularly special. We are specialty coffee lovers who drink coffee daily and have visited many cafés around the world. The black coffee was one of the better ones we’ve had in Japan compared to several cafés we tried, but still not quite at the level or quality we were expecting, especially in terms of clarity and tasting the coffee notes. Prices are on the higher side, and given that, we were expecting a higher standard in both taste and overall coffee experience.

This is a true experience in coffee, in a minimalist set environment. The staff give you tons of information before selecting and the smell & taste is delicious. Bit pricey but worth it for the experience.

Fantastic coffee at leaves coffee roasters Came on the dot at 10am their opening time and there was already a queue Was seated at the second round after round 15 min Ordered a Panama geisha which was excellent!! Very fruity and clean, very aromatic . Will recommend this place but queuing outside in the sun when it’s 37oC degrees summer may be uncomfortable

Now this place is truly some place special. One of the absolute best specialty coffee experiences I have had in my life. The staff is so attentive and friendly and all of the baristas are very knowledgeable. Expertly-brewed and perfectly balanced filter coffee and very well-made espresso-based milk beverage with an extremely smooth and silky texture. Milk temperature was perfect as well. There‘s a very large choice of different coffees to choose from: countries of origin, processing methods, and so on. Will definitely return to taste the more funky choices such as the anaerobics. From an architecture and interior design lover‘s point of view, this Café looks wonderful both on the outside and from the inside as well. There‘s a large selection of beans to take home as well as some equipment and merchandise.

Leaves was such a treat to visit. The whole experience is steeped in tradition and craft. My friends told me that the coffee situation in Japan just hits different, and wow were they right. I had the Mexico Latte, which had a wonderful balance of this smooth, nutty flavor from the coffee and the rich creaminess from the milk. When the shop opens (if you're there before opening), you are seated on a long bench up against the front window. In front of you is a cute little bar stool (where your coffee will sit). Customers go up one at a time to order their beverage, then sit back down to wait it to arrive. The "slowness" of this process helps you to appreciate every detail of the experience - watching them create the beverages, the industrial flourishes of the store, the matching shop coats the whole team is wearing, and the beautiful flavors built into every coffee. In a world where everything is fast and convenient, and the idea of "living in the moment" and "contentment" is lost, this is a refreshingly welcomed experience. Please make a visit here when you can. You won't be sorry. 🤘

Banging. First time I ever hd a cafe latte so smooth, it's unreal. The staff is nice, the coffee is perfect, the vibe slow and peaceful. Will be back 🫶🫶🫶

I really enjoyed my experience here. The ambiance is cool, with tall ceilings and lots of natural light, and you sit facing the barista and can watch him work. They have several bean options to choose from, and I went with a Mexican bean that was delicious. The presentation is nice too. You can purchase beans and other coffee items as well. The service was friendly and accommodating. Definitely a place to visit and somewhere I’ll come back to.

BOTTOM LINE: A truly elevated coffee experience at an elevated price. Is it worth paying ~2,000 JPY (and more) for a pour over? I'm gonna say 'yes', but probably not for most people. Part of it, of course, is the quality of their beans and how they roast it (it's excellent, I've rarely tasted a Colombian bean so full bodied yet smooth!), but another part, also of course, is the theatre of preparing your order (they use a leveller!). I also observed the baristas sample every cup they made for quality control, and toss one out if it wasn't satisfactory. This is not a place you go to as you're rushing to work, but really a place you to for the purpose of having a truly great cup of coffee made for you. *Although I can't comment on Glitch, FWIW, anecdotal accounts from local coffee lovers claimed Glitch - for what it was - was "overpriced" compared to Leaves. Make of that what you will, haha.

A cafe roasting their own coffee beans just a short walk away from Asakusa. Light roast seems to be their specialty. A variety of single origin coffees available. Always have a few options available. Also does espresso coffees and they taste also very nice! Great baristas and fun atmosphere.

Sugoi! Very creamy Macchiato, wish it had little more character but still a very good coffee!!!
