As I mentioned in my last post, my friend and I explored Kagurazaka looking for a good cafe. Since we had lunch in one place, we decided to get afternoon coffee and tea (He's English) in another place. One of the first places we passed at the beginning of our explorations was a cute looking place called Cafe Skipa. So after walking off a bit of the lunch we ate at Canal Cafe, we went back to check out Cafe Skipa.
We made a excellent choice. The cafe is very cozy and cute. Quite small but it was a weekday afternoon so it wasn't a problem. It's all wood - building and furniture. After checking out their website, I found out that the place was originally a small newspaper company and was then used as a planning office. (I'm not sure what kind of planning). It became a cafe around the end of 2010.
The woman working there that day was quite sweet. She kindly provided us with the English menu, which neither of us needed, but we both appreciated the kind gesture. My friend ordered the earl grey tea and I, shaking things up a bit, went with the chai tea. Another excellent choice. As soon as it came out, we could smell the cinnamon and spice. And it tasted as good as it smelled. I imagine their coffee is fine, but I would recommend their chai instead.
Order: Chai tea (¥500)
Review: I would definitely come here again.
