About this place
A notable draw of the cafe's carefully brewed "Aromatic Mocha" is the option to choose your preferred roast level. Guests can select a hand-drip cup suited to their mood or taste, choosing from a light roast with breezy fruitiness and crisp acidity, a medium roast harmonizing acidity and body, or a dark roast that coaxes out gentle bitterness and rich aroma. While drinking it black reveals its clean aroma, enjoying it sweetened via a mellow hot cafe au lait or an iced coffee float is an equally satisfying alternative.
Toast Pairings and Sweet Treats
To accompany the coffee, the bread options paired with house-made marmalade or red bean paste make natural partners. Each option reflects careful attention to detail, from toast served with cinnamon sugar and house-made marmalade highlighting the refreshing notes of sanbokan and yuzu, to "Premium Honey Toast" lavishly drizzled with honey from beekeeper Harumi Fujioka, and "House-Made Anko Butter Toast" featuring restrained sweetness that lets the adzuki beans shine. For visitors seeking a heartier bite, savory items like cheese hot dogs, toasted sandwiches with egg, and pizza toast offer reassuring choices.
Dessert brings together Japanese and Western sweets, ranging from rich chocolate cake and airy souffle cake to hot shiratama zenzai, made with rice-flour dumplings and simmered adzuki with dialed-back sweetness. House-made fermented fruit drinks featuring ingredients like Setouchi lemon and seasonal shaved ice provide further variety across the seasons.
Set along the temple approach in Nishiarai, Adachi Ward, Tokyo, Kimama Cafe (きままかふぇ) provides a quiet, unpretentious kissaten setting to take a break. Beyond taking time to relax on-site, patrons can also purchase takeout drip bags, jars of honey, or marmalade as gifts to enjoy the cafe's flavors at home.
