Asakusa I was taking a walk on a street I had never been to before and came across this building. It seemed like there was a cafe inside, so I decided to stop by. It turned out to be a cafe inside a lifelong learning center. I ordered the "Summer Limited Ice Herb Tea" (450 yen) and was surprised when it was served in two layers. The staff told me to mix it well before drinking. I tried each layer separately - the pink layer on top tasted like hibiscus tea with a tangy herbal flavor, while the white layer at the bottom was a sweet yogurt drink. When mixed together, it tasted like a lassi drink. However, it was too sweet for me so I swapped it with my companion's "Ice Milk" (350 yen). The Ice Milk was delicious, with a rich milk flavor. I am curious about the "Something Delicious Ice Cream" (350 yen) on the menu, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you, Kaori!

The shop in a public facility, visited on a holiday afternoon with events, was almost full and I was seated at the counter with high chairs. I ordered coffee made with Bach's beans and an iced coffee. The extraction took a while, maybe they wanted to speed it up? The coffee was quite hot, almost too hot. The iced coffee had a small amount and lacked aroma, disappointing for being Bach's.

There are not many cafes nearby, so it's perfect for a little break. Plus, the prices are reasonable since it's inside a public facility.

Entrance from Asakusa-dori to Kappabashi Dougu-gai. Right next to it is the "Taito Ward Lifelong Learning Center." Towards the back from the side is this cafe. I didn't know until recently that there was a cafe in a place like this. The cafe has a bright, glass-walled interior. It is long sideways due to the corner of the building where it is located. The cafe staff are they from this facility, or just regular part-time workers? I'm not sure, but they all provide polite service, which is quite pleasant. On this day, while waiting for my bicycle tire to be repaired at the bike shop across the street, I used this cafe. I woke up in the morning, left home, and was about to ride my bike when I noticed that the rear tire was flat. I didn't even know when it got punctured. When I took the bike to show it, they said the tire was worn out and that's why it got flat. For me, a bike is like my legs! I use it every day, so these things happen. In the end, it cost me 7,000 yen for maintenance. But my wallet hurts! Ginger ale made from ginger grown in Kochi Prefecture - 420 yen. It's homemade, so it's slightly carbonated, but the sharpness, sweetness, umami, and refreshing feeling of fresh ginger are amazing! It's not as strong as Wilkinsons' ginger ale, but it has a gentle yet punchy sharpness and sweetness. Even if you sip it little by little, it's deliciously sharp, so you can enjoy it like alcohol! It's really delicious. The sliced lemon floating in it is also a nice accent. This lemon slice acts as a lifesaver for the refreshing feeling. Despite the freezing cold outside, I'm glad I ordered the cold ginger ale. It's cold, but it warms the body. When you're feeling a bit under the weather, this is the kind of drink you want to gulp down. They also have a variety of homemade cookies, light meals, and desserts that look cheap and delicious here. I want to occasionally visit and explore the menu. It was more enjoyable than going to a mediocre cafe.

At the edge of Kappabashi Shopping Street, there is a bright café attached to the central library. The menu mentions that they use special water and their coffee beans are roasted in-house by the famous shop "Bach" in Minowa, resulting in a smooth taste. The herbal tea is also recommended, and there was a notice about an upcoming herbal class. Despite this, I couldn't resist ordering the "Nori Cheese Toast" to go with my coffee. The café is run by an elderly couple, and they interact with local regulars daily, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

This is a cafe located on the first floor of the Taito Ward Central Library. You can enter the building and walk through the lobby straight to the back. There is a back entrance, and in front of it is an open cafe. There are terrace tables outside, facing a children's park. This cafe allows smoking. The library also houses a museum dedicated to the author Kotaro Isaka, which I visited and took a break at this cafe. Additionally, this area is known for Kappabashi, a shopping street for kitchenware, so it's a good place to stop by after shopping.

This cafe actively welcomes people with disabilities, and I feel comfortable and calm in this environment. I especially like the atmosphere, and the menu, while not flashy, exudes sincerity. I usually enjoy herbal tea, but today I had white peach gelato and iced coffee. The gelato was subtly sweet with a pleasant peach flavor, while the coffee was light with a slight acidity. It may not be strong enough for those who prefer a robust coffee. Overall, I appreciate the cafe's philosophy, the value it provides, and the menu it offers.
