About this place
If choosing your coffee is part of the pleasure, Cafe 195 stands out for its range of house-roasted beans. The menu includes single-origin coffees and blends, with tasting notes to help guide your choice. “Aa Kilimanjaro” is described as balancing sweetness, bitterness and acidity; it was listed at 600 yen. “Ethiopia / Traditional Mocha” is presented as elegant, aromatic and clean, and was listed at 650 yen. There is also “Rwanda / Karisimbi Ws”, with notes of flowers, fruit and caramel, listed at 750 yen. Choose according to your mood, using the flavour descriptions as a guide.
One visitor who tried the Ethiopian mocha said the quiet interior made it easy to relax. Another noticed that the ice in the café latte was made from latte, helping the drink stay less diluted as it melted. It is a thoughtful detail to look out for when ordering a latte or another espresso-based drink.
Shaved ice is another option for a break on a hot day. One visitor found the mango refreshing; the reported seasonal menu also lists mango at 800 yen and matcha milk at 900 yen. Seasonal offerings may change, so check what is available at the café.
A visitor also reported seeing the master perform magic while they enjoyed coffee at the counter. A quiet cup can come with an unexpected extra. Payment is cash only, so it is worth bringing some along.
