Spread across three levels, this place offers a variety of cocktail creations. Our favorite is the Koenji cocktail, made from Hakutsuru sake, cucumber, rosemary, lemon, pineapple, and soda. They also serve bento boxes and ramen.
The Gin Bar
In 2014, what was then the Chocolate Café started as a small project among four friends. Its success soared to the point where you needed a password to get into the bar. They now serve classic cocktails and their own house creations with fresh herbs.

Charly’s Bakery
It all began with 16-year-old Charly. He cleaned, washed dishes, and created light pastries. He learned the art of baking from a German master baker and soon opened his own bakery. There, he creates various cakes, tortes, cupcakes, and cookies. The atmosphere is colorful, cheerful, and filled with bright and fun decorations like "The Cookie Monster."
In short, Charly's Bakery is a sweet paradise for sweet tooths.
