Streamer Coffee Company Kayabacho

«Streamer Coffee» is a legendary coffee shop that is now a chain with over 5 branches. You can even find their coffee at the newly opened MODI shopping mall.
Streamer Coffee is all cool. Design is cool, people that work there are cool. If you drink their latte, you are cool. Sometimes, I wonder if people stopped and thought about the taste.
POSITIVES: This Kayabacho area desperately lacked a trendy coffee shop. Maybe the closest thing is Sunny Coffee in Ningyocho. Aside from that, this used to be no good coffee zone. All the sudden, BAM!!! A trendy third wave coffee feel shop with lots of space, non-​smoking environment, counter tables with power outlets, and free Wifi. It is like god parted the dark clouds, placed this hip store in what is retro Japanese neighborhood.
ISSUES: Here is the thing. Streamer is all about espresso drinks. After all, the founder is the first Asian latte art champion. However, don’t mind drinking latte, but I far more enjoy dripped coffee. So when the menu had «premium dripped coffee», I went for it. Mistake! Very ordinary cup of coffee. I would compare it to quality of Doutor. Thing is, it costed me 500 Yen! I expected them to start grinding the bean upon ordering. Nope. He went to the jar and poured pre-​made coffee. Sure, you could say that the mistake is on me, since I ordered dripped coffee at Streamers, but, hey it is a «Coffee Company», right? And it is on the menu as «premium».
Donuts: I was not a big fan of their «Military Donut».
Conclusion: Next time, I will order their latte.
