Just opened in April 2022, "Kuma Bottle" is a hidden gem café located in a back alley in Kuramae where you can enjoy freshly ground coffee. They use a top-tier blend made only with the finest specialty coffee beans, ensuring a rich, deep chocolate-like flavor with a hint of fruitiness that pairs well with milk. They also sell beans and drip bags, so if you enjoy their coffee, purchasing some to take home is recommended. Each cup is carefully brewed to order, providing you with the ultimate taste experience. Kuma Bottle offers a limited daily supply of 100 cups, featuring iced drinks other than espresso. For those who don't fancy coffee, you can order tea as well. It's first-come, first-served, so arriving before noon is recommended if you really want to get your hands on some. There's a purchase limit of 3 bottles per person, so keep that in mind. In addition to coffee, they also offer pastries like mini croissants, baked cheesecake, and mini pain au chocolat to enjoy alongside your coffee. Enjoy a refreshing Blend Coffee (Iced) Kuma Bottle for 740 yen, a creamy Caramel Latte (Iced) Kuma Bottle for 790 yen, or a decadent Cafe Mocha (Iced) Kuma Bottle for 790 yen. Opening hours are from 11:00 to 17:30, with irregular closing days (check their Instagram and website for updates). #genie #KuramaeCafe #KuramaeGourmet #KuramaeCoffee #KuramaeSweets #CoffeeSpecialtyStore #CoffeeBeanSales #SpecialtyCoffeeBeans @genie_kuramae

I ordered Basque cheesecake and chose a bear-shaped ice cafe latte as my drink. The cheesecake was rich and moist, and paired well with the cafe latte. I heard the churros are also popular, so I'd like to try them next time. You can also take home the cute bear bottle!

I ordered the specialty bear bottle at this shop. It looks very cute and I am very satisfied! They fill it up to the brim with the drink. They also have orange juice on the menu, so I think it would be well-received if you go with children.

coffee & bar GENIE KURAMAE @ Kuramae Stylish cafe. I had a caramel latte. Surprisingly, they serve it in a cute bear bottle when it's iced. The gradient is also nice. It was originally sweet with milk and sugar. It's cute but a bit hard to drink, and my hands got sticky. I think it would be popular among young people!

Coffee & Bar gg GENIE KURAMAE On this day, I visited a second cafe in Kuramae. Just like many other cafes in the area, this cafe is tucked away on a side street. They serve lattes in unique containers, with mine coming in a cute bear-shaped plastic cup. While it made me pause to think about the plastic material, they use a real espresso machine to extract the espresso and make the latte. You can choose between the bear cup and a regular cup for your drink, but it seems they only serve espresso in a demitasse cup. The transparent cup allows you to see the layers of coffee, tea, and milk, which is quite interesting. The menu offers coffee, tea, orange juice, and milk. I ordered their most popular item, the Caramel Latte ICE for ¥790. You can't choose the beans, but they seem to use a top-quality specialty blend. The drink had a half-mixed feel of espresso and milk, with the milk likely poured first and the espresso added on top. It came with a metal lid, and the menu suggested asking for additional syrup when ordering, as it would be difficult to add later. The coffee beans used seemed to be of a strong and intense variety. As I enjoyed my latte, I noticed the tasteful interior design, furniture, and decor of the shop. It made me wonder if a famous designer was behind it all. They also sold bread, churros, and other snacks. Additionally, they had bottle holders and keychains shaped like the bear bottle, which was quite cute. If you're exploring Kuramae, it's worth stopping by this place. I wonder what the meaning of the name "gg GENIE" is. "Genie" means "noble aristocrat, God is merciful" in Greek and Hebrew, and is often used as a girl's name. Perhaps it's a nickname for the staff here. I also didn't quite understand the meaning of "BAR." I should have asked the staff about it. When I mentioned wanting to take the bear bottle home, they washed it and placed it in a clear bag with a pamphlet for me.

Kumabottle in Kuramae is known for its Genie. I often visit Kuramae for work and among my work colleagues, this place is rumored to have a cute and delicious bear character. The caramel cafe latte is highly recommended both in terms of appearance and taste, but the number one recommendation is the cheesecake. Unfortunately, it was sold out this time, but I will definitely go back soon. The cheesecake has the perfect balance of firmness and moist texture, and above all, the taste is exquisite.

I enjoyed a stylish cafe where you can take home the bottles. I tried their popular caramel latte, which had a rich caramel flavor and was delicious. The staff provided excellent service, making me want to visit again!

To the famous COFFEE & BAR GENIE with cute bear-shaped bottles ✨⁡⁡ It's a cozy cafe hidden in an alley, sometimes with a line even before opening. The interior has about 10 seats with 4 tables. This time, I ordered the bear latte, and the bottle was just too cute! The coffee at COFFEE & BAR GENIE is made with their original blend and is very authentic. They also sell coffee beans in the shop ☕️⁡⁡ The cute bottles make it popular for takeout customers as well. They lightly wash the empty bottles for you and provide a bag for you to take home. The bear-shaped icing cookies are adorable ❤️ The cookie was not too sweet, with a crispy texture, and very delicious. The cookies are also very popular and sell out quickly. This cafe is recommended for those who love cute cafes.

The restaurant had a stylish appearance and atmosphere, with very friendly staff. The cute bear bottle given after finishing the drink was a nice touch, and they even offered to shake it for take-home. I would love to visit again.

The atmosphere is great, the takeout containers are nice, and I can see why it's popular. They have keychains and pouches too, so they offer a wide range of products. It seems like it would be popular in Kuramae, but it might be a bit far from the station. There's also a shabu-shabu restaurant upstairs that they advertise, so I might come back at night. It's nice to carry around, and I could use the bear container for something later.

According to the information from the store, the coffee here is made from a unique blend of only the highest grade specialty beans, which account for about 5% of the beans that circulate worldwide. I ordered the Orange Tea (790 yen) this time. It had a slightly sweet and refreshing citrus flavor when poured into the bear-shaped bottle. They also offer mini croissants, mini chocolates, churros, and other sweets for dining in. You can take the bear bottle home after asking the staff to lightly wash it. When taking it out, they put it in a plastic bag as it is not completely sealed. The staff at the store were very kind. I enjoyed my meal on this day as well. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The cute ice drink that comes with a bear-shaped case costs around 700 yen. The price is forgiven because it comes in a cute container. The interior of the shop is small, but very cute, so it would make a good souvenir. I also wanted to try the churros! I would like to try them inside the shop as well.

I had an iced coffee (kumachan bottle) for ¥740. I didn't drink it right away because I was already full, but when I finally did, it was delicious! The bottle is so cute, I keep it in the living room watching TV. I thought maybe it would be cuter with a cafe latte or something, but I always prefer black coffee, so I gave up on the cuteness. There were a lot of people inside the shop, and many customers were getting takeout. The tote bags and pouches were also cute!

I visited the shop for the Kuma Bottle. It was a relaxed atmosphere on a weekday after 12 pm, and the staff were friendly, making it easy to place an order. I ordered a caramel latte, which, despite its cute appearance, had a rich and authentic taste. If I go again, I would aim for the same time slot.

For all bear lovers out there, I visited a cafe filled with adorable bears everywhere! It's a small cafe tucked away in an alley. They serve tea in bear-shaped bottles with fruit inside - you can even take it home with you. Every drink was delicious and warmed me up on this cold day. It was so cute, so if you love bears, you have to go! I'm definitely going back again.

The calm interior and cute bear motif make this place charming. I chose the milk tea, which had a kinari color bear on top. The mini churos served with each order were crispy at first, then chewy as they cooled. They even clean the inside of the cup after you finish your drink and provide a bag for takeout. The receipt features a cute bear (maybe it comes with every drink order?).

I thought Genie was closed on weekends, but when I passed by, it was open so I decided to stop by. They were packed and only open until 5:30, so I ordered a bear-shaped container iced cafe latte to go for 770 yen. The bear container was cute, but the cafe latte was just average. According to my wife, the coffee wasn't very good. I wonder if my wife is the only one drinking hot coffee at this place.

It has a more subtle milk flavor than the Caramel Latte, with a more neutral taste. While the Caramel Latte wins in sweetness, the Milk Tea is recommended for those who prefer a more bitter taste.③ The latte art in small heart shapes is very cute♡☕*°The stick comes wrapped at the tip, making it a bit tricky to remove without deforming it. With 51% cocoa, the stick is dark in color and delicately crafted, almost too beautiful to eat(*´ω`*)④ It has a simple shape, cut into four equal parts! The subtle scent of cinnamon is delightful. They fry it upon ordering, so it is warm with a crispy outer layer and a chewy inside︎︎. The gentle spread of cinnamon scent upon biting into it is also enjoyable(*´ω｀*)

When you order your favorite coffee, they'll put it in a bear-shaped bottle for you. It seems they only have 100 bottles available per day, so there was a line forming before the store opened. The most popular item, Caramel Latte, is made with freshly ground espresso coffee, rich milk, and a delicious caramel flavor. The mix of caramel goes perfectly with the bear bottle. Menu: Caramel Latte (bear bottle)

Today's otaku activity is heading to Zozoji Station on the Toei Oedo Line. I have plans to visit several cafes today, alternating between cafes and ramen. I headed to GENI located in the direction of Asakusabashi from Zozoji Station. The coffee served at cafes in this area is really high quality. The coffee here is made using only top specialty coffee beans in an exquisite original blend, according to the owner's description. However, the food menu only consists of churros and mini croissants - quite unique. There were no other customers when I arrived, but it quickly filled up with customers after. I had an iced coffee. It came in a clear bottle with a bear design, which was slightly more expensive, but the meatballs were served in a regular glass cup. The coffee had an incredibly deep flavor, similar to high cocoa content dark chocolate. It appeared light and transparent, giving the impression of a mild taste, but it was actually quite bitter and acidic. As it finishes, there is a slight fruity sensation. It was so delicious that I couldn't bring myself to gulp it down even though I was thirsty. An exquisite iced coffee, very tasty.

I went to Coffee & Bar GENIE KURAMAE in Kuramae. The shop is conveniently located just 20 seconds walk from exit A0 of Kuramae Station. The entrance is marked by a giant bear bottle, which is quite eye-catching. The interior is cozy and stylish, with around 10 seats. I tried the Bear Bottle drink, which is a collaboration with Lipton. It is an iced tea with mixed berries and strawberry pulp, giving it a sweet and sour flavor. It is a refreshing drink perfect for summer. The Bear Bottle is limited to 25 servings per day, so it's recommended to go early. I visited around 1 pm and was able to get the Bear Bottle. This menu is available from July 18th to August 10th.
