Cafe Chat Noir

Tucked away on the 1th floor of an apartment building in Nihonbashi Kakigaracho, Cafe Chat Noir opens its doors solely on Sundays. The owner grinds beans to order and brews each pour-over cup by hand, delivering a fragrant, well-rounded cup served in refined chinaware.

For a crisper profile, the iced coffee presents a clean, refreshing finish. Paired with a canelé, the brew's clarity sets off the caramelised sweetness of the pastry, making for a satisfying afternoon pause. Those seeking a softer, creamier cup can opt for the café au lait.

Soft jazz plays quietly in the background, complemented by relaxed conversation with the friendly master and a tranquil ambience that lets you linger at your own pace. Whether stopping by to sit in while exploring Ningyocho and Suitengu or picking up a drink to go, it provides an unhurried Sunday retreat.
