Japanese Restaurant of very high quality. Hard to find- the front door is of the road and is very inconspicuous!

The best coffee and an uber cool scene. Standing room only, this place is for serious coffee drinkers. You may have to wait in the queue to get in the door if you go between 9:30am and 10:30am. After 11:00am is much quieter! Otherwise, if you're an early bird, get there from 7:00am. They also have great pastries in the morning but they sell out quick!!
