glincoffee Motomachi 1 Goten

the latte here gets mentioned enough that it's probably your safest first order, though the coffee itself runs deeper than a single drink. motomachi is one of kawagoe's quieter historic corridors, and glincoffee sits right in the middle of that stretch at 1 chome, which means you're likely walking past old warehouse-style kurazukuri buildings before you even get to the door. kawagoe pulls a lot of day-trippers from tokyo, but this particular spot feels like it belongs to the neighborhood first. specialty coffee in saitama prefecture has been growing steadily, and places like this are part of why that conversation is worth having. if you're visiting on a weekend, the latte is still the move.
