A hostel in Kuramae where anyone can visit regardless of nationality, religion, age, or occupation. The bar lounge near the entrance has a high ceiling and an open atmosphere. They serve brunch in the morning and dinner with drinks at night. I visited for breakfast and was impressed by the great service. I ordered the Granola Yogurt for 750 yen, which came in a large bowl with homemade granola, yogurt, seasonal fruits, citrus jam, fresh blueberries, and mint. The granola had a moderate sweetness and a crunchy texture, which I enjoyed mixing with the yogurt. I also had a Drip Coffee for 650 yen, made with Colombia Adriana Zuniga beans, which had a light nutty aroma and a hint of sweetness. The coffee was smooth and flavorful. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, with many solo travelers. It was a perfect morning experience.

Nui. is a hostel with a bar lounge on the first floor, serving as a shared space that can be used by both guests and anyone else. The hostel attracts a high percentage of foreigners, but local residents also come to chat in the lounge, creating a stylish and comfortable environment that can be used in everyday life. The interior, renovated from an old toy company warehouse, has high ceilings and an open layout. There are gentle natural partitions that allow for various uses in different areas, creating a pleasant space. The use of wood throughout the space gives a natural atmosphere, and the central symbol tree was selected from Niseko, Hokkaido. The bar operates on a cash-on style with no cover charge, offering a good selection of original cocktails, whiskies, and other drinks at reasonable prices, making it perfect for everyday use. The food menu also includes a collaboration curry with Eric South, which is quite good. Nui. is managed by Backpackers' Japan, the company behind CITAN in Nihonbashi Bakurocho, toco. in Taito-ku Shitaya, and Len in Kawaramachi, Kyoto.

I visited the restaurant around noon on Saturday. I had to wait for about 15 minutes as there was a group ahead of me. The place was like a cafe bar lounge run by a hostel, with about 40% of the customers being foreigners, creating a unique atmosphere. The staff were friendly and provided good service, making it easy to communicate with them. Despite being with children, we were seated in a spacious sofa area. The interior of the restaurant was well-designed, with wide aisles and plenty of space to move around comfortably. The curry was delicious, and I enjoyed the craft beer as well. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit. Thank you for the meal!

There are many cafes around this area, so it's not hard to find a place during the day. However, at night, there are only a few places where you can drink alcohol, and they tend to be filled with regular customers. It can be intimidating to enter some of these places, but this cafe is open and easy to enter, probably because it's also a hostel. There are plenty of seats available. It's comfortable because the staff doesn't intrude too much. However, it can be a bit noisy, so it may not be ideal for situations where you need a certain atmosphere.

A lovely cafe that has been around before Kura-mae became the "Brooklyn of Japan". Nowadays, there are plenty of hostels for foreigners in Asakusa and Kura-mae, but this one is the original! When it first opened, I nervously walked in thinking, "Wow, it feels like a foreign country! No Japanese people here!" But the place was too stylish for me to relax, so I quickly left (laughs). On a weekday evening, I decided to stop by for a coffee on my way back from the office. It was empty, so I went in! (I used to work remotely but occasionally went to the office. I could leave early due to flexible working hours. Ah, those were the days... Remote work and flextime, come back!!) In the spring of 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were hardly any foreigners, not even Japanese people, and the place was empty. As of July 2023, there are a lot of foreigners again, and the lively atmosphere has returned. I ordered an Affogato (500 yen including tax) at the counter. It's a pay-first, and they bring it to your table style. The spacious interior has a high ceiling and various types of chairs and tables arranged in a stepped layout. Foreigners are seen sitting comfortably on sofas with their legs up, reading books or listening to music with headphones while enjoying their coffee, but I, being Japanese, can't do that... I sit politely on the single-seat bench on the bottom level and wait. Since there weren't many people, I could take as many photos as I wanted! But of course, on days like this, I didn't have my camera with me and sadly had to use my smartphone to take pictures. The Affogato has arrived. It's a combination of cold vanilla ice cream topped with hot espresso. Sweet, bitter, and delicious! And all for 500 yen, isn't that a good deal? I leisurely spent time until it got dark, feeling completely satisfied. I might not see such an empty cafe again... (Spring 2022, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic). Located along the Sumida River, just a short walk from Edo Street, about 12 minutes from the Kaminarimon Gate. Next to it is Sierra Irio, which serves delicious adult pudding made with chewy aged brown rice.

While taking a stroll in Kuramae, I happened to come across this stylish yet cozy cafe and decided to pop in. The open interior and relaxed atmosphere made it a great place to hang out or get some work done with the available wifi. The homemade chai was spicy but not powdery, with just the right amount of sweetness for easy sipping. I topped off my experience with a banana cake with ice cream, which was sprinkled with cinnamon and brought me pure happiness. The cake itself had nuts and spices (maybe cinnamon?) that gave it a sophisticated flavor and made it delicious. ❤️

I had onion ice cream and hojicha latte! My friend had carrot cake! I think the drink was vanilla tea latte. The onion ice cream was delicious with a perfect balance of sweetness from the caramelized onions and milk. The hojicha latte was not too sweet and very tasty!

I remembered there was a cafe around this area and decided to visit. The cafe was located within a hotel and was filled with what seemed to be backpackers from overseas. The interior had large wooden decorations and a high ceiling. I ordered an iced coffee and a cheesecake. The cheesecake recommended by the staff had a crunchy cookie base, which was delicious as described. Thank you for the meal, and thank you very much.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice! There were many foreigners and it was a great space. The falafel bowl was delicious, and it was the kind of place you want to come back to. They also had baked goods and it seems like they serve breakfast, so I want to go back again!

Nice atmosphere. The lunch was okay in terms of taste, maybe a bit pricey for what it was. However, the ambiance is really nice so I would give it a high rating. They also have WiFi, so it seems like a good place to get work done. I would definitely like to come back. Overall, a nice restaurant.

Located just a few minutes' walk from Kuramae Station, this café and bar is on the first floor of a hostel called "Something". The atmosphere is open and inviting, making it easy to step inside. The interior has table seating, a few sofa seats, and a counter, making it suitable for solo customers as well. There are many foreign guests, perhaps due to the hostel nearby, and even the bartender has an international vibe. They stay open late, so it's a good spot for a second drink. I visited around 9 pm on a Saturday and the seats were mostly taken, but I managed to find a spot. The tables at the sofa seats are small but cozy. They offer a variety of original cocktails such as Sansho Gin and Tonic, Hojicha Highball, Yogurt-tomies, and Penicillin, all of which have unique flavors but are easy to drink and delicious. The Hojicha Highball was particularly aromatic, great for fans of smoky flavors. The Penicillin cocktail comes in a syringe, which adds a fun touch. They also serve as a café during the day, so I will definitely drop by again when I'm in the area.

I wanted to have a light drink, so I decided to visit this place as my first stop. The exterior has a factory-like feel, while the interior has an American art vibe. The snacks and drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was casual yet sophisticated, allowing for both relaxation and lively conversations. The music was R&B, creating a soothing ambiance. The refreshing gimlet soda and unique food were highlights. I definitely want to come back again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The cafe, which is located in a popular hostel among overseas backpackers, has a high ceiling and an open atmosphere with a touch of emotion. It seems that locals and visitors also stop by for breakfast and lunch, making it a versatile place to visit.

Located a 4-minute walk from Kuramae Station, our café is on the 1st floor of the hostel building. Next door, "Yuwaseru Main Store," had a long line of about 20 people even before opening. The café has a high ceiling and an open atmosphere, with a stylish blend of wood and flowers. I ordered the popular "Basque Cheesecake" and a café latte. The Basque Cheesecake had a perfect balance of sweetness and richness with minimal acidity. It paired well with the café latte. Highly recommended for working on a laptop or hanging out with friends or a date! ======MENU====== Café Latte (Hot/R) Basque Cheesecake/Today's Coffee/Bagel - Address: 2-14-13 Kuramae, Taito-ku, Tokyo - Reservation: 03-6240-9854 (No reservations) - Hours: Mon-Sun 8:00-18:00 (CAFÉ) 18:00-24:00 (BAR) - Payment: Credit cards, electronic money, PayPay - Average Cost: 2,250 yen for 2 people ⭐️ Tabelog Rating: 3.53 Instagram ID: tam_gourmet_

▷Nui. HOSTEL & BAR LOUNGE / Retro and modern cafe in Kuramae where people from all over the world gather Nui. HOSTEL & BAR LOUNGE is a place in Kuramae where people gather beyond all boundaries. It is a space that combines a bar lounge where people gather for coffee, drinks, and meals, and a hostel that welcomes travelers from around the world. It is a cafe, a bar, a dining area, and a living room for guests, allowing you to spend your time as you please. I love delicious food as much as I love the atmosphere and the distance between people. I really wanted to go this time for lunch! I love one-plate lunches because I usually eat only meat and fish. I love salads, spreading jam or hummus on bread and taking a bite is my favorite! The casual atmosphere at Nui. made us naturally relax. The relaxed space without any pressure made us feel at ease. The Kuramae area is developing like Nihonbashi Kandamachi and Marunouchi, with many stylish cafes and bistros. I also want to come back at night! There were many foreigners, and the natural communication that arises from their presence is perfect for those who love to talk and listen. The space was so amazing that I will definitely come back! ____________________________________________________ ▷Shop Information ☑︎ Tabelog Rating: 3.53. ☑︎ Budget: ☀︎ ¥1,000 ~ ¥1,999 ⭐︎ ¥2,000 ~ ¥2,999. ☑︎ Nearest Station: 3 minutes walk from Kuramae Station. ☑︎ Business Hours: ⏰ Cafe time 8:00 ~ 18:00. ☑︎ Regular Holiday: Open all year round. ☑︎ Phone Number: ☎️ 03-6240-9854. ☑︎ Address: 2-14-13 Kuramae, Taito-ku, Tokyo. ☑︎ Payment Methods: Card / Electronic Money / QR Payment. ____________________________________________________ #Kuramae Lunch #Kuramae Gourmet #Kuramae Stroll #nui #Nui #nuihostelandbarlounge #LoveCoffee #OnePlateLunch #SaladPlate #Kuramae

I arrived at around 10:30 am on Sunday. It was nice that the cafe was open early in the morning. The place was almost full and I could only find a seat outside near the flower shop. I was hungry, so I ordered the brunch plate and cold-brewed green tea. It felt cool drinking from a wine glass in the morning, like a stylish person. The plate was delicious. It had a good amount of food and was healthy. The bread was hard, which was tough for me as I am currently wearing braces. But it was so tasty that I managed to eat it. It was a windy and cloudy day, and my seat was very cold. The staff even asked me if I was okay with the strong wind.

A trendy cafe that seems to be found in a foreign country. It is attached to a hostel, and there are foreign guests enjoying tea or drinks. The cafe is stylish, with just the right amount of people inside, even though there is hardly any traffic or pedestrians outside. I tried a drink called espresso soda, which was a bit strange at first but I started to like it. It's a nice break from the hustle and bustle of touristy Asakusa, and worth a visit for this kind of atmosphere.

Stylish cafe! I stopped by after a walk in Sumida Park during cherry blossom season. It was a Sunday, but we arrived around 11:30 am, avoiding the lunch rush. The menu had about 5 items, with limited options for picky elementary school children like my son who ended up choosing the granola yogurt. However, the plates were delicious. I had the Morning Plate (1200 yen), my husband had the Brunch Plate (1600 yen), and my son had the Granola Yogurt (650 yen). The salad and bread were particularly tasty! The purple cabbage salad had a tangy dressing, very refreshing. The cheese on the Morning Plate was a small amount but had a rich Parmesan flavor. I also tried a bit of the Chili Con Carne from the Brunch Plate, and it was delicious. It's a good place for individuals or couples, but maybe not ideal for families. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant.

The industrial-style renovation is very nice. I stopped by for breakfast. It's near Asakusa, so there are quite a few foreigners. The coffee is on the acidic side, and the bread is moist and organic, so it might be a matter of personal preference. There is an ashtray outside on the window side, and smoke can come in through the gap in the window, so people who don't like smoke might want to sit further away from the window.

This is a lounge cafe located on the first floor of the hostel. The interior is open and spacious with high ceilings. The atmosphere inside the cafe is great and it's always crowded, showing its popularity. You order at the counter and the staff brings your order to your table. I recently tried their matcha latte and was surprised by its large size. It had a smooth texture, perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and was delicious. I would definitely go back again if there's no line.

I found a great cafe in the competitive area of Kuramae! The shop has 52 seats, so you can relax comfortably. I tried the carrot cake that I've been into lately, and it was just the right amount of sweetness and went well with the cafe latte! Next time, I'll try their lunch menu, which seems to be healthy. (Ordered menu) Carrot cake ¥600, Iced cafe latte ¥600. Nui. HOSTEL & BAR LOUNGE 03-6240-9854 2-14-13 Kuramae, Taito-ku, Tokyo. #Kuramae #KuramaeCafe #KuramaeCafeHopping #CarrotCake #Cafe #CafeLatte
