I always use Renoir for a break when I visit Tanaka Ginza. Although the price of drinks at Renoir is slightly higher compared to casual cafes, you can relax on the comfortable sofa, making it quite addictive. Lately, I've been hooked on cream soda and I also ordered pudding. The old-fashioned pudding here seems like it will also become a new favorite.

If you own 100 or more shares of Ginza Renoir stock, you will receive two 500 yen shareholder benefit vouchers once a year. Since I still had some vouchers left over from last year, I went for breakfast. The place was crowded on Saturday morning, maybe because guests from nearby hotels were visiting. I also noticed many foreign customers. It had been a while since I last visited, and it seemed like prices had gone up! The Renoir blend coffee was 670 yen tax included, and the C morning sandwich was 150 yen tax included. I was able to enjoy delicious food in a relaxing and comfortable space. The total amount was 820 yen, but I used 500 yen worth of benefit vouchers, so it only cost me 320 yen in the end.

Visited in the morning. Located near Yanaka Ginza, the age group is older. There were no young people. The atmosphere was calm (40s and above). Ordered C Morning 150 Bitter Blend 670 Retroprin 550 Total bill 1370 yen Electronic money payment C Morning consisted of ham and cucumber sandwich, boiled egg, and soup. The crunchy cucumber was good. The soup had a nice saltiness. The coffee was described as Bitter Blend, but it was easy to drink and paired well with the meal. Retroprin was sweet and strong. It's good for when you're tired. Relaxed in a laid-back atmosphere. Stayed longer to adjust the time. The complimentary cold water and hot tea service was nice. Thank you for the meal.

I climbed the stairs at Nippori to reach a café called Renoir, where I enjoyed a nostalgic, firm pudding. It had a solid texture and a familiar taste that spread in my mouth. However, it may lack a bit of impact. Still, delicious pudding is always delicious. The pudding at Renoir has a unique flavor that sets it apart from other shops, making it a delightful treat that never gets old. The atmosphere inside the café is calm and relaxing, perfect for spending a leisurely time alone. The coffee is also delicious, and having it with the pudding enhances the satisfaction even more. When strolling through Yanaka, why not take a break and visit this café as a resting spot?

Ginza Renoir is located near Nippori Station on the side of Yanaka Cemetery. If you're walking from Sendagi, it's right on Yanaka Ginza leading to Nippori Station. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and clean, with polite and good service from the staff. It's nice that it's located on the first floor of the building. You can enjoy a relaxing time with a coffee in the sunlight-filled interior.

It was my first time eating at Renoir. I usually just have drinks like coffee, but the food was delicious too. You can also get refills on coffee, which is nice. The person I went with is a smoker, and they allow smoking (except for cigarettes) at the table, which is very convenient. I think this place is popular for business meetings. There are many locations, but Nippori is close to the station and not too crowded, so I think it's a hidden gem. Many people come in alone, so you can have a relaxing time. The breakfast menu looks good too, so I might try it next time. Thank you for the meal! See you again!

On a holiday at 2:30 in the afternoon. After lunch in Nippori, I took a coffee break. I have only been to LeNôtre, which has a relatively calm and dim image, but this place has large windows, so it is bright and nice. I ordered LeNôtre Blend (590 yen). It's easy to drink with not too much bitterness. I was full from lunch, so it was a relaxing time.

After a drinking party, we ended up here. We were surprised to find that most of the shops on Yanaka Ginza had closed by 8 pm. On our way to Nippori Station, we stumbled upon this place that was open until 10 pm, so we decided to drop by. I ordered a Coffee Float for 690 yen. It was a safe choice. Honestly, I thought it was a bit expensive, but oh well. Thank you for the meal.

I had Biryani, Om, and squid tempura soba, and now I am full (*ﾟｰﾟ)>ﾃﾍﾍｯ It's been a while since I went to the discussion room in front of Nippori Station, but surprisingly it's under renovation. I wonder how they will renovate it... if they make it non-smoking, that would be good, but I hope they don't change the interior. I noticed there are Excelsior, Doutor, Tully's... no, not in the mood (´Д` ) So, I headed to Tomoari in Asakusa, but two young girls were giggling as they went up the stairs to the store... hmm... retreat. Renoir feels a bit intimidating, like being looked down upon... well, it's on the second floor (^_^;) I changed to my coat at the west exit. Then, I went to the Renoir on this side, which felt more welcoming (￣∇￣) I visited the store at 3:15 pm. Without looking at the menu, I ordered an "iced coffee." The waiter informed me that there are two types, one with a bitter drip coffee and the other with a smooth cold brew coffee... I asked for the bitter one and looked around the store. It's quiet. Well, the aunties' voices make it somewhat lively, but the conversation blends nicely and doesn't become noisy. Ah, it's calming. Completed in 4 minutes. Yes, it's bitter. Rich in cocoa-like flavor with a refreshing aftertaste, and a light sweetness lingers on the tip of the tongue. The air conditioning works well. I spent some relaxing time here.

Visited a coffee chain located on the first floor of Yanaka Homes at the west exit of Nippori Station in Yanaka. The interior has a calm atmosphere with white and black tones. There are table seats lined up in front as you enter, with a total of 75 seats, making it spacious and comfortable. During my visit, about 20% of the seats were occupied. Even afterwards, the seats were relatively empty with about 20% occupancy. The customer base is 50% male and 50% female. The service is provided by two male staff members who are polite. The menu includes Cafe Renoir Blend for 540 yen, Renoir Bitter Blend for 540 yen, Americano for 540 yen, and Cafe au Lait for 650 yen. For breakfast, there are sets A for 60 yen, B for 120 yen, C for 140 yen, and S for 190 yen. I ordered the Renoir Bitter Blend for 540 yen and the Morning Set A for 60 yen, totaling 600 yen. The Morning Set was served 5 minutes after ordering and included toast, boiled eggs, consomme soup, Renoir Bitter Blend, and green tea. The coffee, Renoir Bitter Blend, was deliciously bitter. The Morning Set was a one plate with toast, eggs, and consomme soup. Green tea was served after the meal. The spacious interior, polite service, and overall comfortable atmosphere make it a pleasant place to relax.

Kombu tea with rich blueberry yogurt swirl.

Just had ramen at Kamiyoshi-san and walked for over 30 minutes in this scorching heat, feeling so dizzy that I might actually get heatstroke. The line at Himitsudo is at 16:45, so I need to urgently retreat or I might collapse. I tried to find a family restaurant, but it seems to be on the other side of Nippori Station. Then, I saw "Renoir" on the way and decided to go in. Everyone seems to be retreating here one after another. It's just too hot! After a short wait, I was seated at a two-person table closest to the entrance. I ordered the following: Iced Cafe au Lait for 680 yen. I also wanted to charge my phone, so I connected it to my mobile battery for charging. The Iced Cafe au Lait was delicious as usual. In fact, in this heat, anything cold tastes delicious! After about an hour, the staff brought tea and a fresh towel, as well as cleared the Iced Cafe au Lait set. They said, "Please take your time." The inside of the restaurant is slightly better than outside, but the air conditioning doesn't seem to work well (maybe because it's near the entrance), so my throat was dry. I added the following order: Dragon Fruit Soda for 740 yen. The Dragon Fruit Soda was refreshing with a nice tangy taste. The cold soda soaked into my hot body. So, I cooled down and headed to Himitsudo. Thank you for the meal!

In the morning, I had coffee in Ikebukuro, then met up with relatives and visited Nezu Shrine and Yanaka. It was a sunny autumn day with warm temperatures, so we decided to cool off at Renoir. This was my second visit today. Since I already had coffee, I ordered the honey jelly & iced tea that caught my eye. We got a table with a view of the courtyard. The atmosphere at all the cafes seemed nice. The honey jelly & iced tea had a taste I've never experienced before. It's good on its own as iced tea, but when you drink it with the jelly, the sweetness spreads and you can enjoy it twice. I realized that it's nice to try different menu items occasionally, not just sticking to coffee.

Today, I went shopping at Yanaka Ginza and decided to take a break at the café called Renoir. The inside of the café was comfortably cool with just the right amount of air conditioning. The seats were more spacious compared to other chain stores, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the following items: Cream Soda - 710 yen (recommended by a friend) 'HONNEY' French Toast - 680 yen Iced Coffee - 580 yen Set discount - 200 yen The 'HONNEY' French Toast was topped with a generous amount of raspberry sauce, which had a sweet and sour taste. It was delicious, but I felt that the raspberry flavor was a bit overpowering and masked the flavors of butter and honey. Personally, I would have preferred if the toast had been soaked in a bit more of the liquid. The iced coffee was also very good, with a balanced bitterness and a rich flavor. I enjoyed my time relaxing at the café. Thank you for the meal.

Located up the hill from Nippori Station West Exit, there is a Renoir. It is on the first floor of a brick-patterned apartment building. In front of the shop, there are garden stones and a water basin. The interior is divided into smoking and non-smoking sections, with 40 smoking seats and 34 non-smoking seats available. The smoking seats at the back offer a nice atmosphere with a view of the greenery in the backyard through the glass. I used the outlet here to do some work while enjoying a large hot towel. The iced coffee is priced at 580 yen, slightly higher than the drip iced coffee (560 yen). It is refreshing yet smooth and flavorful, with a hint of fruitiness. After relaxing, I borrowed the wall outlet to work for a while. The neighboring customer who arrived later was served tea first. I wondered if they had forgotten about me, but it seems they serve tea based on the progress of the main drink. The bill was discounted by 10% using the Renoir essential Renoir Edy.

During negotiations with a business partner, I had a meeting at Renoir. It felt like a long time since I last visited. I went to the Yanaka store near my workplace. We chose to sit in the smoking section at the back to accommodate the other party. I was surprised by how spacious the store was. The female staff members were polite and provided excellent service. The morning service set C until 12:00 PM was a good deal for an additional 130 yen. The taste was decent, as expected. While sipping on the complimentary pot of tea, we discussed future plans.

Nippori Station has become cleaner and a bit easier to navigate recently, but I still think this station is like a maze. The café Le Pain Quotidien is located near the Yanaka shopping street exit. I really like it for some reason. It's a bit pricey, but the tables are spacious, the chairs are comfortable, and they keep bringing you warm tea when your drink runs out. It's a great place to relax after strolling around the Yanaka shopping street and feeling a bit tired.

I took a walk around Nezu and Yanaka, and took a break before walking back to Nippori. It was my first time entering this coffee shop, which I often see. I just went in, had a coffee, and left. There wasn't anything particularly outstanding to praise, nor any aspects that made me frown. It's a convenient coffee shop if you need it. I took a break alone, but there were mostly couples and elderly ladies chatting, possibly locals on a walk. There were also a few salarymen. There were about six elderly ladies chatting, so it wasn't exactly quiet, but the space was wide and the seating was spread out enough that it wasn't too noisy.

After reading Mr. Saito Takashi's "If you have 15 minutes, go to a cafe", I started going to cafes more often. I find Renoir to be quite unique. It's not just about the delicious coffee, but they also have smoking seats and electrical outlets, making it suitable for meetings and business discussions. While they may not provide as much service as the previous "Takizawa", they still frequently refill water and tea, aiming for that level of service. In that sense, I think I will continue to use it in the future. The location, situated between Yanaka Cemetery and Yanaka Ginza, is also quite chic.
