palba coffee croft

On a quiet lane in Kudanshita Minami, palba coffee croft is a specialty coffee shop where you can take your time over coffee that brings out the character of the beans, alongside handmade baked treats. It is also close to Yasukuni Shrine, making it an easy place to stop after a visit or a walk around the neighbourhood.

Several beans are displayed near the counter. Ask about their different characteristics and choose a cup to suit your mood that day. There is a range of brewing styles to explore, from a light, fruit-forward single-origin pour-over to the Iced Melbourne Coffee, where ice cream and milk coffee come together while the beans’ own flavour still shines through, and a rich milk brew. Now and then, you may also come across an unexpected combination, such as a charcoal latte made with bamboo charcoal.

Baked treats include canelé, crisp on the outside and soft within, and banana bread. For something more substantial, there are also light options such as granola and hot sandwiches to enjoy with your coffee. The bright, uncluttered interior has tables and seating at the front. Settle in for a relaxed break, or pick up your order to take away. Cashless payment is available, including major credit cards, transport IC cards and QR-code payment services.
