Apollon's Gold

The coffee was carefully prepared by a very courteous young woman. There is a fine selection of coffee beans, although the space itself felt somewhat conventional for its genre.

Total professionals here. Quality beans and skillful pour overs. I especially love their espresso tonic. They also play some great music. Shazammed a bunch of tracks while I was here.

The espresso was one of the best I’ve had in cafes in a while. Aromatic, bright acidity, sweet, delicate but creamy body. My friend doesn’t speak English much so it was a bit inconvenient for him to choose coffee, order and pay. It’s the only place in whole Tokyo I experienced absolutely no Japanese menu + English only service🤣

Ordered the el triangulo and pie San exclusive in pour over, and the daily blend. The EL triangulo was made by the female Japanese barista and was exquisite. All the citrus notes of the bean were apparent and delightful to drink. Perhaps one of the top 5 pour overs I have ever had. The pie San exclusive was only alright, in retrospect it may have been because of the male barristas technique. He was from AU and didn’t seem too knowledgeable about the equipment when my friend asked about it, nor was he aware of the resting times of the beans we bought. He also charged us the higher price, though he was nice enough to split the drinks into multiple cups for us to try The daily blend was comparable to the PIE SAN and was good value. Compared to other shops in Tokyo, other places were better strictly better in terms of location, value and service, with comparable quality.

Very good coffee, but very expensive (my cappuccino was ¥1200) — would recommend only for real coffee aficionados; not for casual coffee drinkers. Very little seating available.
