My favorite kissaten to relax in Tokyo is 高山珈琲 Takayama Coffee, Kanda. I discovered this hidden gem as a student, and loved the beautiful handwritten menus and delicately potted flowers that filled the dim-lit interior space. The master is also an absolute gentleman, who always welcomed me back, every time, with a gentle greeting.
If you have an appetite, I absolutely recommend the cinnamon toast with a large dollop of whipped cream (750 yen) and the Vienna Coffee (a deep, rich coffee topped generously with whipped cream).
Another favorite is the rare cheesecake, made with Denmark cream cheese and a yogurt-like tang. The best part of the experience is always to relax leisurely, reading the newspaper, while classical music plays.
Actually, the first time I visited here, I ordered the tuna cheese sandwich, but honestly it was too much for me…
