Musashino-mori Coffee Mitaka Mure Shop

the tea here is worth your attention, not just the coffee. musashino-mori coffee sits on mure's quieter residential stretch in mitaka, a part of western tokyo that moves at a different pace than shinjuku or shibuya, and that slowness suits the place. breakfast and brunch draw people in early, which means if you're going solo, mornings are your window, a table to yourself, no pressure to turn it over fast. the specialty coffee side is the main event, but don't skip past the tea menu just because you came for espresso. mitaka isn't a tourist circuit stop, so the crowd here tends to be local and unhurried. come for the brunch, stay through a second cup, and let mure-2-chome do the rest.
