Ties

Strong coffee and artistic cakes are the twin specialities at Yushima's Ties, where the dripping process is fine-tuned to perfection. Choose from around half a dozen blends, all explained in detail by the counter, and pick your favourite from the cake display case right by the entrance. They always have around ten varieties – including seasonal specials – but note that these subtly sweetened treats tend to sell out in the afternoon, especially on weekends. It's a small place with room for less than a dozen customers, so best come prepared for a wait.
