Every time I travel somewhere, I seem to find a coffee shop that I like and go there almost everyday. I guess I am a creature of habit where coffee is concerned. This is Iriya Coffee Stand. It is a hole-in-the-wall at the entrance of a residential building on a side street in Iriya.

The featured coffee changes everyday and is always good. I am not sure how the owner makes it…it is not espresso. I think she grinds each dose to order and then hand presses the coffee. So, it takes a little time but it is always delicious. There are cute little snacks available as well.

The outdoor seating is in a little courtyard off the sidewalk and sheltered from the wind and rain so it’s comfortable even on a chilly morning. You can even wrap yourself in a blanket if you get cold. A nice warm way to start the day.
