I only had coffee here, but what a delight!
I went two days in a row, and it was a lovely experience each time.
The first time, I had an excellent unsweetened matcha latte with a strong tea flavor. I loved it.
The second time, I ordered a simple café latte, and once again, it was very good.
The place is warm and welcoming, and the service is lovely. I highly recommend it!

Ordered a matcha latte. Outstanding.
The person in front of us didn't know the procedure and was waiting outside for the longest time, so we were lining up outside for no reason.
The workers were so friendly and kept apologising even though it was our own fault.
Amazing matcha and even better service.

Came here for a coffee and did not disappoint. They made me a cortado which is hard to come by in Japan. The building is historic and the owner has preserved it's charm. The antique books on display about the history of Tokyo is amazing. Really enjoyed my time here

The best cappuccino we had in Tokyo and amazing matcha latte! We only went once due to scheduling but I wish we could have gone multiple times! Would highly recommend! And staff were incredibly kind and welcoming!

Tokyo Little House is the cutest, coziest cafe in Akasaka! As travellers from Melbourne, we are used to high quality coffee and this cafe did not disappoint. The staff were warm and friendly. The atmosphere of the cafe was very pleasant. The cinnamon toast alongside our coffees was a great light breakfast. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

We LOVE hand-drip (PollOver) coffee and do it everyday at home, so when traveling, we will find a good hand-drip coffee shop nearby. We ordered light roasted Ethiopia beans for hand-drip coffee, but unfortunately, it wasn't impressive at home. The taste was smooth ,and .... nothing else. No good cherry favor, no citrus taste, no chocolate ending, ...
Will go to another one, Bun Coffee nearby tomorrow.

Incredible coffee and matcha, but the real star of the show is the hospitality and the toast. We tried the cinnamon and anko butter, which was a red bean paste. Crunchy yet fluffy, both melted in the mouth. The cafe has a wonderful aesthetic and very much felt like a gem in the neighborhood. We arrived promptly at 9am for opening and a small line up shortly appeared- it's easy to see why!

Wonderful little cafe with incredibly kind & friendly staff who really make the effort to accommodate everyone.
The cafe is very small but still comfy and a great rest stop before or after visiting the Hie-jinja shrine.
Apparently there is a room to rent but it appears the main business is the cafe.

My husband and I happened upon this little coffee shop after having lunch in the area. This is also a small hotel, with a tiny cafe on the ground level. The barista was really friendly to tourists, and spoke pretty fluent English.
We got a matcha latte with oat milk and an iced coffee. The presentation was impeccable, and the matcha was perfectly whisked/blended.
Our favorite part about this cafe was the small corner featuring an exhibition on the history of Tokyo. There were plenty of books/magazines about Japanese history that patrons are able to flip through.

I stayed in the hotel 2+ weeks. This little house was amazing. So much care has been taken into the blending of historical details and modern comforts. It's a compact space -- I thought it's kind of like living in an RV. But it's an RV that lets you travel through time instead of space. The neighborhood is very convenient to multiple train lines and is walkable to many central Tokyo destinations. I appreciated the fancy soaps and the kitchen appliances. There's lots of historical information provided about the house and the neighborhood and greater Tokyo also. The hosts were wonderfully gracious, friendly and informative.

A coffee and culture experience. Enjoyed the history lesson and wonderful hand poured coffee.

I have walked by the cafe many times over my visits to Tokyo. I also saw a segment on a Japanese program, that I watch in the US, and knew the next time I am here I must visit. I only went to the Cafe, it was very interesting, and I had a nice chat with one of the owners, who is from Colorado. Learned about the history or the house, and enjoyed a nice cup of tea with cookies. Perhaps one of these days I will have a chance to stay at the apartment upstairs.

You could not ask for a better location. This is an absolute recommend, and the hosts are the most polite and courteous. You will feel like a local as you walk out the door of your 2nd floor apartment directly onto a very lively street full of local restaurants and bars, and its a very short walk to 2 different Metro station lines. The apartment is well done, dating back to 1948 with a very authentic feel. I will caution that this rental is most appropriate for seasoned travelers that appreciate experiences, this is NOT the Four Seasons. You will hear noise during the night from partying salarymen, trash trucks, etc. This is for people who appreciate experiences over room service.

Unique historical cafe/accommodation in a bustling neighborhood of Tokyo. Great coffee (and beer), an interesting library in Japanese and English, and a fascinating exhibit with photos of Tokyo from just after World War II.
