If you’ve ever made the walk down Cat Street between Shibuya and Harajuku stations this spot may have caught your eye. It caught mine when I first began to search for top-rate espresso in Tokyo.The Roast Coffee’s located in inner-city Jingumae, Shibuya-ku japan.

                                             

            The Roastery was built on Cat Street, an area more famous for fashion than restaurants.  The reason for this blends with their mission; Nozy Coffee wants to introduce good coffee to as many people as possible. By having The Roastery by Nozy Coffee in an area with high foot traffic they have a better chance of serving many people, rather than just coffee fans. The aim is to expand the world of coffee. 

                        

              Their focus is single origin  espresso. There are always two beans to pick from and the selection often changes: one week it may be Colombian and Ethiopian, the next it could be Rwandan and Brazilian.

              The space is expertly designed, with ample seating outside looking on to the fashionable Cat Street boutique area. Inside, you’ll find a dimly lit café with an enclosed workspace in the centre for the baristas. Just watch them hustling around the two espresso machines, trying to keep up with the demands of their customers.

             They only offer espresso-based drinks at the main point of sale, so your choices are limited to an espreso, a latte, or an americano. If espresso isn’t your thing, head to the back of the café where they sell coffee beans and ask for a pour over.

             

           Their is to help appreciate it for its unique flavours so they don’t mess around with other beverages.They’ll be happy to make you one (and you’ll be happy to drink it.
