In Japanese, a coffee house is called a "kissaten". Cool word and fun fact, but it definitely isn't long enough to encompass the venue we found ourselves at last weekend:
Fuglen Espresso Bar, Cocktail Bar, Vintage Norwegian Design.
In the heart of Tokyo.
Worth a visit, I'd say.
Jesse and I whiled away a drizzly Saturday afternoon here, watching scores of stylish people come and go. We helped ourselves to the range of gorgeous, why-haven't-I-seen-this-book-before books, sipped our hot drinks, and pored over the menu of craft beers and cocktails for a definite return trip in the future one evening (post-pregnancy of course).

Yoyogi, Tokyo
Coffee: Beautiful. (Hot chocolate, also beautiful - it was a perfect hot chocolate afternoon as well, ok!)
Value: Expensive, although coffee of the day is ¥360, so anywhere from ¥360-¥600.
Atmosphere and service: Heavenly, very relaxing, jazz music, and attention to detail, and the most comfortable lounges known to man.
My two cents: Being able to spend a few hours somewhere as beautiful as this was worth every cent.
