About this place
Stroll down the Azuma-dori shopping street east of Koenji Station to find MYTH CAFE, where single-origin beans are brewed attentively by the cup over the counter. Guests can often take in the aroma of the beans before making a choice, finding a roast to match their mood—from gentle sweetness to balanced, bright acidity.
Beyond standard pour-overs, the cafe is known for its wide-ranging drink creations. The menu spans comforting options like a latte-art-topped brown sugar cafe latte and a rich espresso banana shake. Those looking for bar-style refreshments can also branch out into an espresso tonic or a cascara mojito made with coffee cherry husks.
A selection of sweets, including egg tarts, waffles, rich chocolate terrine, and cinnamon toast, offers plenty of pairing options. With just a handful of counter seats in a compact, calm space, the shop works equally well for a quiet solo break or a quick drink to take away.
