This neighborhood cafe is close to the heart of Roppongi, just within a walking distance from Roppongi station. The atmosphere of cafe is calm and relax. It offers wide range of drinks and good food at a reasonable price. This cafe is not spacious, but has very comfortable furniture. It is a good place to relax, study or hang out with friends. There is a self serve water station near the entrance. The staff is friendly and making you feel at home. My friends and I ordered some sandwiches and iced coffee. I like the red bean sandwich most, it is so delicious. And the coffee is smooth and mild with delicate aroma.

Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. It’s a small café with only a few tables available. Kind personnel, great service. Different types of coffee available. Prices are to the expensive side, but the taste is good. Everyday there are different types of cakes available. I tried the chiffon cake and the scones, plus the anko toast. The anko, sweet read beans paste, toast was terrific. The bread was perfectly toasted, the paste inside was not too sweet and it had a very pleasant texture... and the cinnamon sprinkled on top added an extra note. Perfect. The chiffon cake was light, it tasted delicious, and it was served with some freshly whipped cream. The homemade scones were also great. Friable and buttery, not dry. The were served with jam and freshly whipped cream.

Awesome, small coffee shop close to Mori garden which features great furniture and pictures. Best cup of coffee I have had in Tokyo. I also recommend the chocolate cake.

Highly recommended for amazing coffee, with a selection of cakes. They offer a range of premium coffee from different countries and price points. You can ask for each to be made by hand-drip for an extra 300 yen. We also had a chiffon cake which was very tasty. The owner is really friendly and speaks some English which helped.

Had a wonderful experience at Cafe Tapirosu! The owner was incredibly kind and greeted me with a warm smile The coffee was exceptional! It's obvious that the coffee beans are of high quality and the owner roasts them all by hand too I recommend pairing your coffee with the chocolate tart. Btw, you need to pay first before you eat :)

An absolute hidden gem in the bustling Roppongi area! This cafe offers a peaceful escape with a charming English cottage ambiance, complete with adorable paintings and cozy decor. The scones are to die for—honestly some of the best I’ve had, and you can tell they’re made with care. The owner is incredibly friendly, adding to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit, and I’ll make it a point to stop by whenever I’m back in Tokyo!
