Blue Bottle Coffee on the first floor of NEWoMan Shinjuku. It's surprisingly rare for a branch in Tokyo not to be an independent store?! Compared to other branches, it's a bit more lively inside the building. If you want to kill time in a calm cafe, it might be different.... I ordered New Orleans and waffles. The waffles here, baked after you order, are exquisite and I love them!! I've lost count of how many times I've eaten Blue Bottle's waffles... I recommend them to my friends without realizing it! They are simple, but the crispy texture, fluffy inside, and taste are all excellent, and personally, I prefer Blue Bottle's waffles over those from specialty waffle shops. The seats may be unexpectedly available depending on the timing, so it might be a hidden gem!!

Visited a store near the south exit of Shinjuku JR station. Had my usual iced cafe latte, but this time I tried the single origin. The balance of mildness and slight bitterness was very pleasant. I really like Blue Bottle's iced cafe latte. There are seats and standing tables inside the store, so it's a great place to stop by during shopping.

The coffee-flavored beer was delicious. It had a strong coffee bitterness which combined well with the bitterness of the beer. I liked it. The cold brew had a slight acidity which was not to my liking. It tasted exactly like Seven Eleven's iced mocha. I would give it a high rating of 3.5 for a beer.

Today, I had plans in Shinjuku in the morning, so I bought some bread from a bakery near the station and decided to get some coffee as well. I went into Blue Bottle Coffee next door. It was a little after 9 o'clock, but the place was packed with customers. I was amazed to see so many people enjoying delicious coffee in the morning. When it was my turn to order, I wanted to try a single origin coffee, but it was hot outside so I went with an iced coffee instead. After a short wait, my iced coffee was ready. Since I was getting it to go, I left the shop and took a sip while walking. Mmm, it had been a while since I had Blue Bottle Coffee, and it was still delicious. Starbucks is everywhere so I go there often, but Blue Bottle Coffee is really good too.

Blue Bottle after a long time. I'm not familiar with coffee, and I usually prefer cafe lattes, but this is my favorite coffee among the cafes in Shinjuku. Both the coffee and waffles are expensive, but the waffles are delicious and served hot, maybe they bake them in the store? It's convenient that it's located in a building, making it easy to enter for those who don't have much time to relax alone. It takes a little time before they serve you, but a staff member with the same name brought it to my table. It would be nice if there were more seats where you can relax a bit.

Blue Bottle Coffee! I had always wanted to go there, so I finally went!! I had no idea how it worked at all. It was so trendy that I couldn't even figure out where the register was, haha. I peeked into what seemed like where people were, and there was a tablet there, so I timidly placed my order to a person who seemed like an employee. They asked for my name, and said they would call it when the coffee was ready! I could choose between a plastic container or a coffee glass, but since I didn't have a seat reserved, I had it put in a plastic container. I played it safe and got an iced cafe au lait! It wasn't too sweet and was refreshing and delicious~! Maybe because it's in Shinjuku, almost all the customers were foreigners. Personally, I like Blue Bottle Coffee more than Starbucks!

I don't know much about coffee, but I went out with a friend looking for a stylish breakfast. It was already full at 10:00, but after looking around a bit, we found a table in the corner. We ordered 2 iced cafe lattes, a meat pie, anko pie, and waffles. The portion sizes were not very stylish, haha. The cafe latte had a nice aroma just from bringing the glass to my mouth, and I could tell the difference. The other items were also warm and delicious. But for all this, it cost around 4000 yen for two people, so I guess I'll only go when I'm in the mood for something stylish.

The coffee was quite fruity and delicious, but the light snacks like chocolate chip cookies were disappointing for the high price. The interior of the shop is open and stylish, but not really suitable for relaxing. It felt like the best option was to just take the coffee to go. Next time, I want to try the Gibraltar.

Blue Bottle's bitter espresso pairs well with the sweet oat milk. During the Earth MARS campaign, oat milk, which usually incurs an additional charge, was offered for free. It was a great deal to enjoy a sustainable drink! The store was packed with foreigners. There were plenty of seats available and turnover was quick, so we were able to sit without waiting. Although the latte was a little expensive at just under 700 yen per cup, it was delicious.

When this place first landed in Japan, there were long lines at the Kiyosumi shop. While the queues are not as long now, it is still popular and crowded. The atmosphere of the shop is like an Apple Store, simple yet stylish, something that only a Third Wave coffee shop from America can achieve. They brew coffee by hand drip, so the atmosphere is great. In terms of taste, it's nothing particularly special, but the overwhelming sense of style is there. The servings are generous, so you can enjoy it for a long time. There are plenty of seating areas around Shinjuku Station's New South Exit, so I recommend drinking under the sun. You can enjoy your drink in a good mood.

Visited around 13:30 on Saturday and it was crowded, always full. The service was good. I usually use the stand store at Yokohama Station, but the taste here is consistent. They have limited-time items that are not available at other stores (maybe just haven't seen them in Yokohama). I bought takeout and enjoyed it leisurely at Ueno Terrace.

After a long time, I spent my holiday wandering around Shinjuku, visiting bookstores, furniture stores, electronics stores, and miscellaneous goods stores without a plan. The weather was nice and I felt like having an iced coffee, so I stopped by a cafe. I was surprised by the bustling atmosphere, similar to before the pandemic, and the many foreign tourists. I couldn't relax inside, so I ended up getting my coffee to go.

On the second Tuesday of March 2023, at 2:00 pm, I decided to have a small cherry blossom viewing at Sakura Square under the southeast exit staircase and then went into Newman for a coffee. Oh, there's a seat available for the first time. So, it was my first visit. Cafe au lait SOE, 680 yen. You can choose the beans for an additional fee (laughs). Being directly connected to Shinjuku Station, there were many overseas travelers even on weekdays. I received a generous amount of coffee in a thick mug, making it a slightly luxurious coffee time. Although it was a bit noisy, it was nice for a change. It takes some time to brew, but they bring it to you, prepare sugar when requested, and even bring the bill at the end, which is a great service. I made a great choice with the selection, enjoying a delicious coffee with the acidity well balanced. I will definitely come back.

It's been a while since I visited. I went around 9 in the morning and it was bustling with many foreigners. I used to buy from the bakery, but today I ordered their original meat pie. The meat inside was tender and the cheese added a nice texture. The pie had a strong buttery aroma that whetted my appetite. I wish they still had the croissant they used to have. Thank you for the meal.

It was really crowded from the morning, but they grind the beans on the spot, so you can enjoy a truly authentic coffee. It takes time because it's popular, so it took 15 minutes for the service, but it's worth it. The coffee is not convenient, but it's delicious. I bought an apple pie from a nearby shop to go with the coffee because they don't sell it here, so be aware of that.

The cold brew here is definitely the best. I can't explain it, but I love it. I also like the simple and unified design atmosphere here. It's different from Starbucks and I like it! The taste and aroma are excellent. Thank you for the meal!

Stylish and beautiful interior. The popular shop always has a line. Located on the first floor of Newman Shinjuku, it is always crowded so it seems like more people prefer to take out rather than drink inside.✏︎ Ordered items: Cold Brew Drip (Myanmar Shan State Mya Zedi Village Natural)

When I don't have an appetite in the morning, it has become a habit for me to drink a sugar-dissolved café latte. This time, I visited Blue Bottle in Shinjuku. The shop is located on the first floor of NEWoMan, directly connected to Shinjuku Station. Although NEWoMan itself opens around noon, Blue Bottle and Lobrosion open early in the morning. Therefore, you need to enter from the opposite entrance as the one near Takashimaya is closed. Due to the New Year, the shop was bustling with overseas visitors from early in the morning. They don't stay long, just drink their coffee and leave quickly, so I secured a seat at the right time. First, you place your order at the register. I asked for a hot café latte and was able to choose between the blend and single origin beans. When I asked about the characteristics of today's single origin beans, they explained that it's a lightly roasted bean with a strong acidity, a new variety they recently sourced. Since I like that type of bean, I asked for the single origin with an additional charge. At the checkout, you input your name on a tablet. When your order is ready, they will call your name, so I wonder if people purposely input strange names... I completed the input and payment. There is a kitchen on the NEWoMan side of the store, so you can watch them make your coffee while waiting leisurely. They carefully pour the beans and espresso, creating a drip coffee. If you love coffee, you might not get bored. When my name was called, they handed me a cup with steamed milk and espresso. They confirmed the order and then skillfully created latte art in front of me. A cute heart was formed. I also asked for water and sugar, and enjoyed it slowly at my seat. I sprinkled some large brown sugar grains and stirred slowly with a wooden stick. When I took a sip, at first, a faint bean flavor lingered, followed by the taste of milk, and then the acidity stood out. It's an interesting bean. While helping the Chinese travelers sitting next to me take photos, I leisurely read a book. Thank you for the meal.

At the beginning of 2023, I went to my favorite café, Blue Bottle. Their usual combination of café latte and Liege waffle was amazing as always! Today, probably because it's the first three days of the New Year, there was a line of about 20 people waiting to order.

On the first floor of Shinjuku Newman, there is a shop. When you pass by, you can smell the nice aroma of coffee. I ordered a Cappuccino (Winter Espresso, Oat Milk) for 660 yen and a Drip Coffee (Winter Blend) for 550 yen. The oat milk was sweet and paired perfectly with the cappuccino.
