About this place
Because its iced coffee is poured over ice cubes crafted from frozen coffee itself, the flavour remains robust rather than watering down as you sip. Take Five, tucked away in Nihonbashi-Muromachi, is a small coffee shop cherished for its careful brewing and gentle neighbourhood prices. The signature hot coffee is listed at ¥280 a cup, offering brisk acidity and subtle blend variations depending on the time of day—just the thing for a quick caffeine stop amid daily errands.
Beyond black coffee, the counter offers a generous lineup of milk-based drinks. Flavoured variations include honey au lait, kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) au lait, and a ginger au lait spiked with chai spices. For richer options, diners can choose au lait crowned with fresh cream, an Irish coffee blending whisky with cream, or a Viennese coffee with whipped cream to suit the mood.
From Monday through Friday, the doors open at 8:00 in the morning. Patrons can take a quiet pause inside or grab a cup to go on their way to work or while strolling through the neighbourhood. It remains a straightforward, welcoming rest stop where you can order at the counter and recharge.
