Caffe Risata

Behind the counter at Caffe Risata in Ayase, beans are hand-roasted in small batches with handheld tools only after an order is placed, yielding freshly ground and brewed coffee. Amid the rich aromas of roasting coffee, the lineup spans everything from the daily changing Ichigo-Ichie blend to floral Mocha Yirgacheffe, bright and full-bodied Kilimanjaro Kibo AA, and rare Kopi Luwak. Guests can discuss their roast level and flavor preferences directly, enjoying the distinct advantage of coffee roasted to order.

These carefully brewed coffees pair naturally with house desserts, such as dense, firm baked custard puddings, pudding cake, and chilled coffee jelly. Balancing a deep dark roast or a crisp, lively cup with a sweet treat makes for a leisurely pause.

Early visitors can order a morning set of toast, salad, and complimentary service coffee, while those seeking a heartier meal can opt for European-style curry rice formulated to harmonize with coffee. Equipped with counter and table seating, the calm room invites solo guests to read, browse drip bags, or pick up roasted beans at their own speed.
