Tucked away off the busy streets of Tomigaya in a tiny multi-story house, Nephew makes for a great all-day hangout as the space transitions from café to bar once the sun goes down. Opened just last year in April 2021, it’s also the sister shop to Ikejiri-Ohashi’s trendy Lobby bar, which has a very similar vibe. Both are inspired by cool industrial-style restaurants in Australia, with a healthy dose of Scandinavian interior design.
During café time, Nephew brews coffee courtesy of Overview Coffee and serves a variety of tasty homemade sweets including muffins, lemon loaf, chocolate cake and banana bread. Come evening, you can still get your coffee fix as the menu includes coffee cocktails as well as seasonal tipples, too.
This season’s drink is the apple ginger fizz made with homemade apple ginger syrup and bourbon. Seasonal drinks are not listed on the menu and are announced on Nephew’s Instagram, so keep an eye on socials, or just ask the bartender what’s new when you come to order.
