Best cafe if you love everything black and dark! Staff was really nice and friendly. The cake was fresh, fluffy and yummy as well as the tiramisu and the coffee was rich, just the way I like it. Beautiful interior style and good fitting music. More than just a instagram cafe in my opinion. Will definitely come back!

I found this place randomly, so I was not aware of the reservation system. As a result, I was seated in the non-reserved area next door. It worked out for the better because I had the room to myself, and it was a vibe (albeit, a little creepy at first). - Matcha Hojicha Pudding 抹茶ほうじ茶プリン (¥900): This was yummy and satisfying because it was light and just the right amount of sweetness. - Iced Gray Milk Tea グレイ・ミルクティ (¥900): This had a strong floral taste. It was a bit too sweet but still good. I was impressed that even the wet wipes were monochrome.

Went for the matcha desert, which was one of the best I have ever had, and an apple soda (that was not to my liking, but everyone around me loved them). The atmosphere is very quiet, aesthetic and the staff is very, very friendly! At first was difficult to find it, but it is right there on the second floor with minimalistic writing on the door.

The experience, atmosphere and service are great! However not the best coffee taste and richness wise! They worked much more on the presentation than the coffee itself

Very interesting and creative, artsy -like cafeteria. Their signature cafe was about 1000 yen and it was quite good

A unique cafe experience in Shibuya with a monochromatic theme. The interior and atmosphere meshed seamlessly. Drinks and food were black and white, and all customers dressed accordingly too (myself included ). Staff was friendly. Make reservations online, respect the time limits, and enjoy!
