◎Day/Time: Sunday/around 1:30 PM ◎No waiting time ◎Order: Cold Brew Coffee - 600 yen ◎Access: 3 minutes walk from Koenji Station ◎Interior: 3 counter seats, 2 two-person table seats ◎Customer base: Solo diners, couples ◎Payment: Cash only ◎Note: Located in the Pal Shopping Street in Koenji, a coffee stand with a small but cozy interior. Despite its size, the place has a great atmosphere that attracts many foreign visitors. Apart from the cold brew coffee, there are other drinks worth trying.

While strolling around Koenji, I stopped by this coffee stand. The interior was very stylish and the coffee was delicious. However, the service was a bit prickly, maybe just that day, I don't know. It was a bit disappointing. With this kind of service, I don't think I can bring my friends or share it on social media. Such a shame. (Both male and female staff were present, but the female staff in particular) *After checking Google reviews, things started to make sense. The reviews here and on Google are completely different, which makes me suspicious... The coffee was really good though. I would like to go back again, but if the same kind of experience happens again, I won't go back. I will probably stop by again though. *I will keep the visit date anonymous.

The turnover of customers was high, so I peeked at the menu and found my favorite chai tea. Even though it was a bit expensive at 550 yen per cup, I decided to buy it. It was so delicious that I ended up drinking three cups in one day, which I didn't expect. The rich aroma of cinnamon got me hooked. I ended up spending 1,650 yen just on chai tea, on top of the 1,130 yen I spent on lunch. I need to be careful next time. I really love the taste and will probably go back again. But next time, I'll limit myself to two cups!

I had a café latte and a scone. The counter was a bit small, but it was available for eating in. Later, when a table became available, the owner guided me to it, and I really liked the customer service. The milk was delicious and I liked the frothy texture. The espresso was just the right strength, and I could enjoy my favorite coffee at this shop. Most of all, I wish they would mass-produce the scones and I would like to take some home as souvenirs. On that day, they were selling handmade baked goods on small tables in front of the shop. It seemed like a collaboration with other shops, so I would like to visit again if I see it.

Discovered a coffee shop while strolling through Koenji in the middle of the scorching summer. Decided to take a leisurely walk to Minami Asagaya. It was our first break since we started walking, so we tried the recommended cold brew coffee from the signboard. I usually prefer light roast coffee, so I was a bit nervous when ordering. Took a sip, and it was great! It had a nice fruity aroma and flavor, along with a strong depth and a light finish. It was delicious! I think I finished it in about a minute. Next time, I want to try the espresso slowly.

This is a shop in the shopping street of JR Koenji Station. It had a very cafe-like atmosphere. The menu was extensive, especially with seasonal options, which was appreciated. I ordered the cherry blossom menu, which was not too sweet and very delicious. It was a perfect match for the warm weather on that day. The shop seemed quite popular, as customers kept coming in one after another. I thought it was because they offered a variety of menu items that were well-supported. It's a comforting shop, and I definitely want to stop by again.

I randomly walked into this place and was shocked by how delicious the coffee was. It had a unique flavor, but not too sharp, which was great. The scones had a nice texture and just the right amount of sweetness. The restroom was also stylish. The staff was friendly and made the atmosphere comfortable (although the place was a bit small). I bought some coffee to take home and it was also delicious, so I will definitely visit again.

The inside of the shop is small, with two tables for two people each and two counter seats. However, to avoid crowding, only one counter seat is being used. There is also a bench outside. The overall atmosphere inside the shop is nice, with a lot of wood that gives a warm feeling. Since it's winter, there are two stoves as well, adding to the cozy atmosphere. You can choose from a selection of daily coffee. It's a great place for a quick break!

- Small scone sandwich ¥250 with strawberry white bean paste and apple crunch - Affogato ¥600 - Cafe latte ¥500 The scone is a moist type and warmed up, with a slightly crispy outer layer. The sweetness of the white bean paste and the sweet and sourness of the strawberry complement each other perfectly. The small size makes it easy to finish in one go. The affogato consists of sweet vanilla ice cream topped with espresso with a hint of acidity, making it easy to eat. The cozy little shop has a warm atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly. I would like to visit again. Due to COVID, the maximum time for indoor dining is around 30 minutes.

I had always been curious about a coffee stand in Koenji. Whenever I passed by, I would stop and look at the menu, but today was my first visit. I ordered an iced latte, which was easy to drink and delicious. The service was great too. Just as I had expected, it was a good place. I already have a favorite spot in Koenji, but now I have one more.

A stylish coffee stand appears in the shopping street of Koenji. In addition to coffee, their homemade scones are also adorable. The scone I took out this time had a crispy surface and a slightly yellowish interior. It seems like it would go well with coffee. I would like to try it with coffee someday.

On a steamy holiday afternoon, I headed to Koenji to browse for some vintage clothing. Before heading south down Koenji Pal Shopping Street, I stopped by Porta Coffee Stand for a quick break. The eat-in space was small, but they had picture books, making it a casual spot even for those with young children. I paid upfront at the counter and purchased a cold brew coffee for 500 yen including tax, then sat at a table in the back. There were two young tattooed girls as other customers. The iced coffee in the glass had a fresh flavor with a cherry-like acidity and fruitiness. There was a large flavor wheel on the wall, and they also sold coffee beans. The shop had a nice atmosphere with no weird background music and clean restrooms. It was a pleasant experience. After finishing my shopping, I hopped over to Shinjuku.

Store Information: 【Nearest Station】Koenji 【Budget】Up to 999 yen 【Purpose】Takeout with friends 【Overview】Located 2-3 minutes walk from Koenji Station, this stylish shop in the shopping district is popular among coffee lovers for its takeout options. Although the popular cold brew coffee was sold out, I ordered an Americano. I usually don't prefer Americano as it can taste watered down, but this one was different. The owner's dedication to using a strong espresso base made the Americano rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of bitterness. It was easy to drink and delicious. I look forward to trying the cold brew coffee next time. Thank you for the meal. 【Menu】 - Americano: 430 yen each/ per person

【Gourmet】Tonkatsu Ooyoshi's Negi Shio Tonkatsu | Top Page May 2, 2021 (Sunday) 【Gourmet】Porta Coffee Stand It had been a while since I last visited (currently 5/21). Before heading to a gaming event at a popular store in Koenji, I stopped by as I was feeling thirsty. I didn't even realize this shop was here. I ordered an iced cafe latte for 480 yen. It was delicious! As soon as I took a sip, I couldn't help but say "delicious!" It's hard to explain what made it so good, but it was easy to drink, had a strong coffee flavor, and the milk tasted just right. Every sip made me think "this is so good." I didn't take a photo, but I also bought a milk scone which was also delicious. I regret not noticing this place earlier. If I have the chance, I would like to come back and enjoy it slowly inside the shop next time. ▼Bonus image.

I tried the drip coffee at a stand coffee shop located in Koenji shopping street, but honestly, it was disappointing and not to my liking. I even thought that if it's a coffee specialty shop, they should earnestly pursue the taste... The staff might be drinking this coffee every day, I wonder? It's just my speculation, but I feel like the bean storage method may not be done properly... The beans seem to have oxidized, resulting in a strong unpleasant acidity and gritty taste, and honestly, I couldn't drink it black.

I visited this shop in Koenji. The shop was located in the shopping street. It had been a while since I last visited Koenji, and it seemed like the people walking around the town had changed. Before, there were flashy young people going around stylish vintage clothing stores, but surprisingly, there were many older people this time. I stopped by this shop on a whim, and it was really nice! The iced coffee was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

At a coffee stand in the shopping street of Koenji, I relaxed. There are table seats and counter seats inside the shop, but it seems like more customers prefer takeout. I chose to sit inside the shop. Even for inside seating, I placed my order and paid through the window first before entering. I ordered a "Café Latte" for 480 yen (tax included) and an "Almond Coconut Rusk" that was displayed for 170 yen (tax included). I could choose between a light-roasted Panama or a dark-roasted Guatemala, and I chose the dark-roasted one. It was delicious!

Just outside Koenji Minami Exit, there is a lively shopping street filled with charming shops. I stumbled upon a cute coffee shop where the owner's passion could be felt. The entrance had a bench for takeout customers, and inside, there were cozy seating options surrounded by a warm wooden interior. The owner was chatting happily with regulars about coffee, and although I couldn't keep up with their coffee talk, the owner kindly recommended a soy latte for me. I chose a dark roast, and it was delicious! The espresso notes were strong yet gentle in flavor, a cup brewed with care from fresh beans. I felt lucky to have found such a wonderful shop. Discovering a great place like this truly brings happiness.

This is a small shop located in the Minami-guchi shopping street in Koenji. The interior has two tables for two people each and a counter. I had been curious about it as I passed by several times, and since the shop was empty, I decided to stop by! It seems to be a specialty espresso shop! I tried an Iced Soy Latte (550 yen) and a Milk Scone (250 yen)! There are a total of 5 types of bread, all from a shop called "NoPell Bakery" in Atsugi! The scone was lightly sweet and fluffy, and delicious. However, I was slightly bothered by the fact that the inside was still a bit cold... You can choose between dark roast and light roast for the coffee. I chose dark roast, and it had just the right flavor!
