Jika Baisen Coffee Gen

Among all those trending cafés serving fluffy pancakes and bean-to-bar chocolate, Gen, founded in 1987, is a cosy traditional café along Kamakura’s main avenue Wakamiya Oji. Upon entering the store, you’ll spot about 180 teacups and saucers that are neatly lined up behind the wooden counter. The collection even includes beautiful pieces of Japanese Arita and Bizen ware. Definitely opt for a counter seat so you can choose your favourite teacup and saucer to use during your stay. Pair your cup of in-house roasted coffee, tea or cocoa with a piece of cheesecake or other sweet treats. In summer, the shop also serves a special fresh-squeezed peach juice that comes with frozen pieces of peach.
