Cafe Printemps

Opening at 19:00 once darkness has set in, Cafe Printemps is a kissaten-bar designed for unhurried evenings. While it wears the polished look of an authentic neighborhood bar, the venue is just as welcoming to someone stopping by simply for a cup of coffee.

Fragrant Coffee and Homemade Desserts

Those dropping in for a late-night coffee break might start with the quarterly single-origin selections or the house blends. The bar pulls espresso drinks on a commercial machine—including caffe lattes and honey lattes—and serves retro cream sodas in customizable syrup colors. Homemade chiffon cake garnished with specialty cream makes a natural companion to the coffee, alongside melt-in-the-mouth raw chocolate. Pound cakes baked with fruit and traditional Japanese ingredients offer a restrained sweetness that suits the quiet late hours.

Spirits and Savory Dinner Plates

Behind the counter, the drinks list spans Japanese and Scotch whiskies, rotating weekly craft beers, and original cocktails mixed with seasonal fruit or coffee. For a proper dinner, the kitchen prepares a seasonal specialty curry, vegetable-laden taco rice, and thick-cut smoked bacon sandwiches.

Lit late into the night, the space accommodates solitary reflection as easily as it hosts quiet conversation over a glass. It serves as an unpretentious refuge at day's end for good coffee, dessert, or a favorite pour.
