Apart from normal cafe, I love to visit bakery cafe recently, where you can buy the pastries from the shop and dine in.
Bakery cafe is a place where I found it is less crowded compared to normal cafe, and usually is quiet and peaceful.
I can spend my time there alone, to rest my feet and to fill my stomach.


I recently visited this bakery cafe called Victoire which is located at Yokohama Bay Quarter.
I simply picked 2 pastries and ordered a cup of Americano.


Left: Brioche creme
Right: Cinnamon Banana

Banana and cinnamon is a perfect match.

Comment: Nice pancake

Traveled all along the way from Yokohama to Shibuya just because I wanted to come to this cafe.
It is a well-known cafe in Tokyo.
You will always get result/review of this cafe if u search for "Best Cafe in Tokyo" on Google.
Streamer Coffee Company was founded by Hiroshi Sawada, who is the owner barista and the first Asian to become a world champion at the Coffee Fest Latte Art World Championship Open in 2008.


I ordered Streamer Coffee (550yen) from their menu.
It is served with a big bowl-sized cup comes with beautiful latte art.
You may imagine how big is the size by looking at the comparison with my purse.
I found that this coffee is too milky for me though.
Anyway, a good cafe to rest your feet and get relaxed.

A nice and simple cafe highly recommended for latte lover.
The barista came to your seat and pour the steamed milk into your espresso in front of you.
A perfect latte art is done in front of my eyes!


The barista from Cafe Elliott Avenue was graduated from Espresso Vivace(owned by David Schomer ,the father of modern latte art).
It is a very well-known cafe in Seattle.
Amazed! Look at the glossy layer of milk!
It was so perfect!
I got myself a slice of cheesecake and a cup of latte.


There are English magazines on the shelf in the shop.
Feel free to browse through them.


See how the perfect latte art until the last sip!
It was really nice and creamy!
