Jalk Coffee

A great cozy coffee shop with free wifi in the Eifuku /​Nishi Eifuku area? Jalk is such an unexpected neighborhood gem!
Jalk coffee roasts their beans themselves in the store. They have different blends and seasonal blends of coffee beans available for purchase. I’m not a big coffee drinker but coffee lover friends tend to enjoy it here, and I see a lot of the neighbors buying their beans here.
If you want to sit down and enjoy, they have a small café space. Extremely cozy with Scandinavian interior and beautiful ceramics used to serve you. You can tell the owner has an eye for design and pays attention to details. It’s a calm and beautiful place to be in, unexpectedly fresh for this area where seniors are a majority. It still hasn’t lost all the good old Japanese senior charm though. Sometimes when I sit down an old obaachan (grandma) regular would greet /​start speaking to me. It brings a smile to my face because you really don’t get this kind of interaction if you are young and in busy parts of Tokyo.
I am a huge fan of their Earl Grey Tea!
Everyone loves coffee for sure, but it’s difficult to find cafés that also puts in as much effort in serving great teas. The owner mentioned he gets his teas from a special store in Jiyuugaoka. Rightly so, they are delicious!
