Jakarta’s Kopikalyan has opened its very first overseas branch right here in Tokyo, bringing its home-grown Indonesian coffee beans to Tokyo’s eager caffeine hunters. The café sits on prime real estate in the heart of Harajuku, and boasts a spacious seating area with soft pastel-accented interiors and large windows bringing in plenty of natural light.
The arabica beans are sourced directly from farmers and processed at Kopikalyan's own roastery in Indonesia. At the café, you'll be able to sample similar drinks to those on offer at the original shop in Jakarta, along with non-coffee beverages, snacks and light meals.
Lattes are served on sleek wooden boards and come with a complimentary slice of pandan sponge cake. Other bites include crisp tempeh fries, honey butter toast and the café’s signature Kalyan coffee jelly. If you find a roast that you enjoy, you can also purchase beans to bring home with you.
