Coffee Tram (CLOSED)

A former employee of Aoyama's legendary Daibo, which closed down in 2013 after 38 years in the kissaten business, Tatsuya Furuya is the man behind this Ebisu coffee shop where the day's beans are roasted in house every morning. Served gently warm instead of burning hot, Furuya's brews pack plenty of punch, but can be watered down on request. The place switches identities at night, when you'll find the name changed to Bar Tram and the coffee abandoned in favour of herbal liqueurs and other quirky bottles. And if things get too busy for your taste, you can always hop over to nearby Bar Trench, which is run by the same company.
