Miyama Coffee

Ordering a drink during morning hours brings thick-sliced toast and a boiled egg—a generous touch typical of Japanese kissaten coffee houses that makes for a reassuring start to the day. Located in Nerima-kasugacho, Miyama Coffee pairs freshly brewed coffee with warm toasted bread or a rich rare cheesecake lightly scented with cinnamon, providing a relaxed, unhurried morning atmosphere.

Lunch and afternoon options lean into nostalgic, substantial comfort food. Highlights include pasta gratin dishes, such as Napolitan or meat sauce baked piping hot, as well as hearty katsu sandwiches stacked with thick-cut Sangenton pork loin. For an easy lunch plate, the pizza toast and Miyama Dog platters come rounded out with clear consommé soup and bean salad.

Desserts showcase house-made coffee jelly prepared right on the premises. Creations like the coffee jelly parfait combine the jelly’s pleasant bitterness with the natural sweetness of ogura sweet red bean paste and rich cream, alongside treats like hot pressed ogura sandwiches with whipped cream that celebrate a familiar balance of Japanese and Western coffeehouse flavors.

The dining room is bright and spacious, equipped with free Wi-Fi and power outlets suited for a quiet pause in the routine. Outside, the grounds include a generous free parking lot as well as terrace seating for those who prefer fresh air.
