About 35 seats, though cozy to the edge of cramped. Atmosphere seems mostly literary and British, though the books are in closed cases and some of the wall art is modern and some is old Japanese. Soft classical music in the background identified as "Liszt: Die Forelle, S. 564" with a link to Schubert. Counter is a bit high and dim for studying. No Wi-Fi. Flavorful coffee and overall I'll call it a high four stars.

Old fashioned cafe. Probably hasn't seen a new coat of paint since the Showa era, but that just adds to it's charm. Reasonable coffee but the lemon cake was a little dry and definitely needed the coating of cream on top to freshen it up.

The best poached apples I've ever had! Friendly staff, quiet place and quick service. They serve curry too and I can't wait to go back and try that!

I ordered Perrier palm drink and curry rice, and it only cost 1500 yen. Super delicious and cheap in Tokyo. Highly recommended.

Possibly the most delicious Japanese curry I've ever had. It is addictive. Once you know about it, you just keep coming back. The pickles are perfect. And the coffee is really, really good. They even sell some really nice cups and saucers. I can deal with the surly owner - it's totally worth it. The restaurant is cute and cozy.
