Onibus Coffee

ah, japanese coffee. i was waiting for the chance to try some and finally got the occasion.
mind you, i haven’t visit this café. instead, i got to try their coffee through kurasu monthly subscription and they are the May’s featured roaster. so far, the one i tried is their onibus blend which is exquisite. a mix of rich creamy chocolate with a lovely red wine smell and subtle taste lingering for a while. compared to what we have in Montréal, they stack up with the best of the best which is either great or extremely bad whoever you want to see it. yeah, most of Montréal coffee ain’t that great.
anyway, i’m happy to get to sample and discover onibus and they are definitely on my to visit list when i’ll visit Japan one day.
highly recommended

Walk along the tracks by Okusawa on the Meguro Line, and you’ll find Onibus, a friendly little hole-​in-​the-​wall café and coffee roaster. Translated as «public bus» in Portugese, Onibus aims to connect people through coffee in the spirit of the public bus — each connection a link to the next, and a chance to bring people together.
The regular line-​up centers around pour-​overs, lattes, and espressos (starting at 350 yen), and there’s also a variety of home-​roasted beans — at present they offer selections from Brazil, Guatemala, Ethiopia, and an espresso-​use house blend (starting at 650 yen for 100g.)
The Onibus interior is is something of a tight fit — a tiny counter, seats and tables cramped together, and a red coffee roaster that feels jammed in near the front like there wasn’t room for it anywhere else. Contrary to how it may sound, however, it’s a warm space marked by friendly banter and the ever-​present scent of fresh roasted coffee — it invites and welcomes conversation.
Outside is a small bench by the train lines — a great spot to bask a little in the sun, sip at a coffee, and shoot the breeze to a soundtrack of neighborhood life and the occasional passing train. It’s peaceful, and perfect for a lazy weekend.
