Ammonite Coffee Market Waseda Branch

Browsing the row of coffee beans and selecting a pour to fit the day's mood is one of the quiet pleasures of stopping by Ammonite Coffee Market Waseda Branch. Hand-drip coffees are carefully brewed to order using a HARIO V60, allowing guests to choose profiles suited to each bean's character, from lively acidity to firm bitterness. Alongside black coffee, the counter turns out drinks blended with milk, including lattes poured with fine steamed milk and honey lattes made with Hyakkamitsu multifloral honey from Nara Prefecture.

The baked treats on hand provide another compelling reason to visit alongside your coffee. Scones come in varieties such as plain, matcha, and sweet red bean with cream cheese, offering a crisp texture and balanced sweetness that complement the drinks. Seasonal muffins, homemade biscotti, and affogatos finished with the day's espresso make up a rotating selection of sweets to match whatever you happen to be craving.

Seating is compact, lending itself to a brief pause inside, a quick takeaway, or a drink taken out to the bench out front during a regular day out. Beans can also be purchased for home brewing, giving visitors an easy way to elevate their daily coffee routine.
