Places to go in Shimokitazawa

A cult espresso counter with a hard rule: no photos or phones near the counter. Go in the morning for the Angel Stain shot. Cash, small, intense.

Brooklyn Roasting Company opens at 08:00 for coffee and breakfast under the railway tracks at Mikan Shimokita. Visitors report Wi-Fi and outlets at some seats; one describes working on a laptop before the lunch rush. Ask for a seat with power if you need it. For a longer stay, check the café's time and ordering rules.
