Glitch Coffee & Roasters
A Jimbocho roastery-café serving light-roasted, single-origin specialty coffee designed to bring out the character of each origin.
The Tokyo outpost of Oslo's Fuglen, opened in Tomigaya in 2012, serving its own roastery's light Nordic-style coffee near Yoyogi Park.
Good to know
Fuglen began as a coffee bar in Oslo in 1963, and its first Tokyo branch opened in the quiet Tomigaya neighbourhood in 2012. The company went on to found its own roastery two years later, and the beans it roasts are the reason many people make the trip: expect a light, clean Nordic style of coffee, served as filter or espresso drinks.
The Tomigaya café has become a neighbourhood fixture for locals and visitors walking between Yoyogi Park, Yoyogi-Hachiman and the Shibuya side streets known as Oku-Shibu. It is small and popular, with seating that fills quickly, so come early or be ready to take your coffee to the park. Beans are available to take home, and Fuglen now runs several other Tokyo locations, including in Asakusa, if this one is too busy.
Its first Tokyo bar opened in Tomigaya in 2012, with its own roastery following two years later.
