A retro coffee shop on the Hanazono street in Shinjuku Gyoen, the only one in Tokyo where you can taste coffee using beans from "okaff kyoto"; a coffee shop where you can enjoy monthly parfaits, lunch plates, and sake; and a coffee shop where you can enjoy from morning to dinner.

The Taiwan Sweets Cafe is located in a commercial building in front of the central east exit of JR Shinjuku Station. It has an extensive Taiwanese sweet menu, including bean flowers, senkusa, and drinks. The entire menu is topped with a specialty of raw tapioca, which is made in the store every day.

Pure tea has been loved in the center of Shinjuku for nearly 70 years. The floor of about 200 seats in the basement is decorated with velvet sofas and chandeliers. In the space where classical music flows with calm writing, you can forget the time and spend slowly.

The store in charge changes depending on the day of the week and time, and you can enjoy a variety of dishes and drinks in a cafe bar. Every store uses fresh ingredients that are particular about the ingredients, and some stores offer self-grown vegetables and vegan menus. The SDGs are the theme of the whole shop, and they are actively engaged in fundraising and workshops. There are many magazines and books about society such as SDGs and LGBTQ in the store.

The Japanese exhibition of "Sarabez", which was selected as the No.1 dessert restaurant in New York, will open a variety of menus, from morning to dinner, including "Flappy French Toast" on the signboard menu, as well as pancakes and eggs Benedict.

A shaved ice shop located a minute's walk from the south exit of Seibu Shinjuku Station. There is a wide lineup from royal road shaved ice using mango to rare items such as pumpkin. The feature is that the toppings are varied, and some of them use fertilizer, and you can enjoy the sticky texture even though it is shaved ice.

The restaurant “Seibu Honten”, which continues to pursue “old but new” with a modern atmosphere of Showa motif as a famous store of pure tea tea, has been relocated and opened in October of Reiwa 5 (2023). Desserts with an impact, such as the oversized "fruit parfait" that can be tasted here, are popular. I would like to visit by all means to enjoy delicious and photogenic sweets.

A coffee shop right at the east exit of Shinjuku Station. The inside of the shop is based on the image of an old-fashioned coffee shop, and it is a relaxing space. The feature of the menu is that there is a drink comparison set where four types of coffee carefully selected by Sarutahiko Coffee can be compared freely. In addition, adult parfait is also talking about delicious and photogenic.

A hideaway cafe in a multi-tenant building in Shinjuku Sanchome. A home space based on the concept of a wall can be enjoyed by one person or group. The signboard menu is "three kinds of hot snack plates" using seasonal fruit. Sweets that are carefully made one by one are a taste that exceeds the level of the cafe.

A coffee shop with a space like an overseas cafe that is close to Shinjuku Gyoen. The name of the store, which is a bit unusual, has the meaning of "serving good coffee in any season." in addition to home-roasted hand-drip coffee and watered coffee, classic pudding is very popular, with queues even on weekdays and often sold out in the evening.
