Café Aoyama Paperback

Café Aoyama Paperback is a book café that opened in 2016. Inside this bustling spot you’ll find retro-chic tables and chairs, and an overall old-school look and vibe await. Come here for a cup of hand-drip coffee made carefully under the warm, cozy lights inside.

This café is home to over 3,000 titles at any time, from romance and mystery to other paperbacks like picture books, literary collections and business texts for you to peruse during your stay. You can tell the owner put in a little extra care, as each table carries its own theme, meaning where you end up sitting will change what types of books you’ll encounter. In addition to the paperbacks being available to buy, there’s also a rental corner where you can check-out books for 2 weeks at a time. No need to fret as If you cant finish a title in time you can always just go ahead and buy it.

The menu is extra special as its dishes are all made with special love and care. In addition to the carefully made hand-drip coffee, there’s a cream soda that changes colors depending on the weather, a café soda, mixing coffee and soda, and plenty of eclectic items to choose from. There’s even food items like rice and stew, making it a perfect place to enjoy a long time away while holding a book in the other hand.
