No problem! Hope it helps and please check out my other lists! They’re grouped by neighbourhood, so it’s easy for you to visit several in one go. Personally, I think Kiyosumishirakawa has the highest concentration of high quality coffee. Some other areas are more life-style concept focused than drink-focused.
