Amazing coffee! They offer Siphon coffee only, and the staff are super friendly and patient at explaiing the coffee bean selection and technique. The café is beautiful, lots of seating and a great book selection to browse. Also the BEST cheesecake I have ever eaten!!! I could have spent hours here, and I would love to go back.

I take my friends here all the time, as this is the one of the best coffee shops to actually sit, enjoy your coffee and enjoy conversation with friends. While I love the ease of Starbucks in Japan, I always miss the cafes in San Francisco where you could sit for a couple hours, drink coffee and catch up with old friends. Café Obscura luckily is one of those cafes. The shop keepers are knowledgable about siphon coffee, which is what Café Obscura speacilizes in. The workers are patient to explain to you what different kinds of beans they have, the taste it will be and patiently listen to you explain what you like in coffee. Imagine a customizable siphon coffee shop. I also have tried their vanilla ice cream, which I would argue is one of the most delicious in Tokyo. It’s not that overpowering sweet flavor that comes in konbini ice cream, but light, delicate and incredibly delicious. I honestly don’t want Café Obscura to get too famous, as the ambiance all the time is perfect, and its location in Sancha is perfect. Maybe I’m just selfish.

I just love living in Sangenjaya. I love how it has all the local shops, great bar and restaurants not to mention this awesome coffee shop. Café Obscura is probably one the decent coffee shops in Tokyo. when i have a free afternoon, I like to come here with a book, enjoy a nice cup of coffee and read for a good hour or two. Total bliss. Having said that, I kind of like the coffee better at their sister shop, Café Obscura Laboratory on Chazawa Dori. The couches are comfortable too but when the weather is nice, the small bench outside it also quite lovely too.
