Crazy Cafe Blank (CLOSED)

Found in a residential street roughly a 15-minute walk north of Ryogoku Station, this comfy neighbourhood café is worth the trek. Housed in a former factory that's been turned into a light-filled, very stylish but far from sterile space, it's famed for its lattes, made with high-grade milk from the Nakahora farm up in Iwate, and for an unwavering commitment to fair-trade, organic beans. Those partial to more straightforward coffee may want to order an espresso, pulled on a shiny Marzocco machine.
