★★★★★
lovely café in my favorite neighborhood of tokyo. there’s plenty of space to sit both downstairs and upstairs, and the street it’s located on is super quiet and chill, which makes the atmosphere even better. the decor is on point and the staff is very nice. I came here twice for coffee and their matcha brownie :)

ONIBUS COFFEE Nakameguro is one of Tokyo’s most beloved specialty coffee spots, especially popular among coffee enthusiasts and travelers exploring the trendy Nakameguro area. Located just a short walk from Nakameguro Station, the café combines high-quality coffee with a uniquely cozy and aesthetic atmosphere that makes it stand out from typical urban cafés.
The first thing you’ll notice is the building itself—a beautifully renovated traditional Japanese house. The space blends rustic wood elements with modern minimalism, creating a warm and inviting environment. The café is small but thought

Superb service and attentive to customers. A yt entitled customer came and start a whole spiel about how this coffee spot doesn’t serve enough for lactose intolerant people, but there’s apple juice for kids (and he still said “oh my friend doesn’t drink apple juice too)” I mean, this is a coffee spot. If you’re not into coffee, you have a choice to not make an order and leave.
The space is small and they want to make sure everyone orders something before they occupy a seat in the quaint space.
I really love the space, and the staff were very approachable and nice. More love to them

4,8/5. Loved the coffee and hot chocolate here. We ordered a hot latte, hot chocolate, and banana bread with espresso butter. Everything was delish, I’d recommend coming early if you want to enjoy a slow, cozy morning. It was lightly raining when we went there, which made the vibe even more perfect.

Finally get to try this coffee shop. On social media it seems more like a vibe than the coffee. I love coffee over vibe. I got there and the person who took my order was really helpful, insightful and knowledgeable about the coffee they serve. They weren't just serving coffee. The coffee I had was a nice single origin pour over. It was really nice and enjoyed it. I will definitely come back to try out the other coffees they have
