FUGLEN ASAKUSA

Simple but delicious coffee and food in a cool environment.

I went on a Monday morning for breakfast at 9am and it was lovely and quiet.

Can imagine it’s gets pretty busy and hectic on weekends or when the nearby shops are open.

Good location near the Asakusa walking streets. Very western service; had to serve own water and collect food from counter myself. Seems pretentious to complain about that but for the price I expect it to be delivered to my table. Like other reviews this place seems to almost be a tourist attraction itself, as I was not so impressed I would come here again if I was a local. I got the smashed avo, tomato paste and spinach, with the added poached egg for 200yen. That and the coffee of the day came to almost 2000yen. The food was very yummy but not so filling, I’d say this is more of a brunch spot than somewhere to actually eat a meal. Also this may just be my Australian love of avocado but there was a criminally small amount. Overall, if you’re willing to spend a bit on an experience this is your place.

One of the few locations Fuglen has in Japan and supposedly the “best coffee” in the world.

This is definitely a must visit if you’re staying near Asakusa. Coffee and service is great. Ambience is also good. Be sure to come earlier as it can get packed with tourists and locals.

This is a wonderful specialty coffee shop. A little coffee break after visiting the famous Sensoji? Definitely! Coffee is amazing, food is delicious, the vibe is swinging and the service is friendly and heart warming.

Walking through the people visiting this popular tourist area, I see enticing, quaint little shops selling local delicacies and beautiful contraptions having people lined up from all corners of the world. There are locals. There are definitely foreigners like me. And halfway through this exciting mix, I see this shop that showcases the famed Japanese hospitality, the expert baristas pumping out well executed craft coffee drinks and the stylish flare that could have come from Oslo (where their original store is) and Melbourne. I feel a sense of worldly harmony walking through these streets with the captivating scent of osmanthus waffling through the tranquil October air.

The space sports an open, mid-cen inspired atmosphere. Dark wood, lo-fi, very calming, nice design touches. A few small tables, a couple communal tables, plenty of bar seats and outdoor seating.

The coffee is definitely worth seeking out. I had a double cappuccino. It's very balanced with a lively acidity. The handpour coffee is also great. Today I had a Honduras via aeropress. They sell coffee whole beans as well as homebrew products.

Food options are slightly more limited, but are nicely made. Alcohol is served here.

Nice interior with ample of seating space. Coffee wasn’t that great. However, it was interesting to see Norwegian waffles with brown cheese served here.

The coffee here is excellent and brewed perfectly. Both espresso based drinks but also hand brew and cold brew. They also have an upstairs sitting place which is cozy and quieter. One of my favorite coffee spots in Japan! It is very close to the Asakusa temple and the cozy walkable streets so it's the perfect spot for a break.

Quite popular among locals and tourists, this coffee shop originally from Norway has very decent coffee to offer (tea is available as well). Apart from drinks waffles are on a display and ordered often. Nice window seats give chance to do some life and people watching.
