While there are many cafe at Tokyo mizumachi, here are some of the notable places that musn't be missed. MUYA is a bakery and a cafe famous for its loaf of cube bread. Originally, this bread called Mu was sold at Bread, Espresso & cafe in Omotesando and was insanely popular that to purchase, customers had to grab a numbered ticket. As the first Mu bread specialty store, the fluffy and moist bread made using plenty of butter are available to be purchased and also, to be eaten on the spot. There are different flavors ranging from plain, chocolate as well as miso and seaweed which are rare and unique to this bakery.

Ichiya is a Japanese sweets cafe run by a Japanese confectionary shop that is beloved in HIKIBUNE, the hometown of Tokyo Mizumachi. The main store in HIKIBUNE is so popular that it sells out by evening, and the dorayaki (red bean pancake) with seasonal fruits are recommended as souvenirs.
The store has a white-based interior which is dignified and furnished with carefully selected furnitures. In July, the popular shaved ice will be available but only during the summer months. This is a must-visit store when you feel like eating something cold and sweet during a stroll in the downtown area.

Lattest Sports is a cafe and a bike shop with a bouldering wall and a sandbox with a mini slide for children to play. As the name suggests, the cafe offers milky, espresso based coffee and has a brunch store in Omotesando.

Proposing a new lifestyle based on surfing and motorcycling, Deus Ex Machina from Australia first made its debut in Harajuku, the center of pop culture of youth in Japan in 2014. And for their second branch in Japan, they opened a retail store with a cafe here at Tokyo mizumachi.

Koncent sells designer goods ranging from stationery to miscellaneous goods. Many are unique in shape and color and some are so strange that instead of its actual usage, can just be an interior.
