Holy-Day at Canal Cafe

Hello there! Good evening from Japan.
Japan has these amazing random holidays around April-May ( a lot of them. )

and today it was a normal Wednesday and a holiday so
it was a time for my bestie and I to hang out to explore Tokyo!



Canal Cafe next to Iidabashi station.
It's a riverside cafe that I have dreamt of coming!




We waited a bit but patient Mina

"That's all right we can wait."


And we waited in a line.



It was a beautiful cafe, more beautiful than I have expected actually.

I have read about this cafe on my favorite blog though,
it was stunning, surrealistic even.




And how many years have I dreamt of having someone leaning on this fence thingy
looking out at the river in front of me,
and taking photos of them!

Such a dreams come true day.




Bitter sour iced coffee.
( My expression level; bitterness. )




Only if Tokyo rivers were more blue or transparent.
It was just deep green so, well, um it's good to see, not very photogenic.




That was also one of my dreams to stick my feet out of the fence and touch the water...
( Couldn't quiet reach the water... but they were close, to the boat. )




Pink♡
I am a white loving girl but I always think I like pink as well.
Well... it I was to pick between blue and pink I would definitely pick pink straight away anyway.

Today's ootd was a casual white-pink outfit ( mostly from Japanese stores. )
Pink gaucho pants : Auntie Rosa ( My fav clothes store. )
Accessories : Forever21 and Bershka

Tops and hat unknown but they are loose and white.

Today was a wonderful day.
We have two working days ahead and then we have a looong weekend holiday coming up!
Exciting! Thanks to May!

Happy Spring!

My weekday

Hello!




As I always write, I wear white... almost only white because my crush told me he liked me in white...
#Hopelessromantic

#Crushproblems


#Girlproblems
Sighs.

I like the color white itself too so it's all good :)




At Ebisu Garden Place - Tokyo, Japan.

Jacket : H&M
Tops : MIIA ( Japan )
Skirt : Auntie Rosa ( Japan )
Shoes : R&E ( Japan )
Coffee : Starbucks mocha.




And of course I am writing about a cafe today too!




Gorilla Coffee Tokyo Japan
( From Brooklyn )





My crush tweeted about this place and I have always wanted to go to Gorilla Coffee since I first heard about them coming to Japan and...


Now I am addicted.




I am always here and I sometimes feel like I could even say I suddenly got sick to the boss in the middle of the day and leave work and stay here the rest of the day.
It's just really.... good.




I like the big long table in the middle of the cafe.
It's tall and I actually like the white tiles!

Oh and... I must mention this that
the bean they use for latte/cappuccino is called espresso a go go and
the cappuccino I had was really, no jokes the best cappuccino I had this year.

They bring out the flavor of the milk really really well!
I am not really a fan of milk + espresso beverages but it was beautiful... peaceful taste too.




This is the table that I was talking about♡




You can see FRIDAYS out of the window from the second floor.
It's nice. Only if there weren't so many constructions going on around.

At least you feel peaceful up there...♡




Honestly, white is much better than black do you agree?
When I have my own cafe I will put a lot of white tables and some dark browns,
white tables are just so photogenic! I am looking for cafes with white tables but can't really find any in Tokyo...

Maybe I haven't tried hard enough!

Will write again soon.

Crush and Filbert steps.



Filbert steps.
Such a sophisticated large cafe at the corner of a block near Yoyogi park.

I have always fancied of coming here but they don't have eat-in food ( do they? )
not that I know of, so I haven't been there to sit and eat yet.




They are what is so attractive about this cafe!
Coffee Geek Friendly! Jar! Rawr!

I saw these on a magazine and it was my dream to find this place and buy them.
( I haven't yet... I will, I will. )




On a really sunny day,
my crush texted me asking if I was free for lunch.

It is always sunny when we meet, like no exception ever.

The whole week could be rainy but still that one day we meet is sunny.
Unbelievably, I am so sure he can control the weather.


I was already eating lunch though I said I was near him and we met up
then it was so sunnyyyy♡

( Of course! Us together the sun always shines! )




And even balloons smile when he is there.
( I am a hopeless romantic apparently. )

These balloons weren't there the next day even though it wasn't raining!
I am sure they came out to see him♡

( Mmmm so in love even though I am not even his girlfriend♡Ha...ha.... *looks away* )




I had to go back to work, we were walking up the street and...
I realized

"Hey! I just remember that I have to grab a coffee! Can we go to that store?"

He was like ...? Okay?




He is a coffee lover who is trying not to drink coffee so much
( He drank app 10 cups a day so he tries not to now. ugh, more than me. )

We grabbed a... Ethiopian? I can't believe I can't remember the origin of the beans, I was just too in love ( Sorry! )
coffee, they were really good that I keep on wanting to go back there everyday but it has been raining over the past couple days that I couldn't...

This week finally I should be able to again ( without him would the sun comes out says hi? )


So I am thinking of grabbing a coffee there again, maybe chill there for a while this time :)

Coffee could be so special when you have it with someone so special.
Cafe provides you a very special time for you and your company though... coffee does that too.

Beautiful memory, hope I can bump into him again and have a coffee together♡


Mmmm it turned out to be just a hopeless romantic blog! Sorry!
I can't wait for the cafe date with my bestie again on this Sunday!

Stay tuned for the report♡
I will report well♡

Fuglen Cafe

Hello lovers.



Cherry blossom season is over...
Wonder if there are still yet to be blooming sakura in a colder place like Yamanashi-ken.




Fuglen cafe, it's a famous cafe right next to Yoyogi park.
My bestie introduced me to this place years ago and it's still a favorite place to go to.




To me it's completely normal though I have 4 phones.
( One stopped working. )

These are my iPhone6 on the top and iPhone5S the one in a vivid pink case.
I didn't know my belongings were so pink.




My favorite there is a mocha, in their beautiful mug.
Can't really have one at the cafe though.
Usually taking them away for work.




That cafe is always packed but it sure is a comfy place to stay when there are seats.
I remember my bestie and I going there on a snow storming day last year.

Hope they will be there for good.
Fuglen is a Yoyogi's icon to me.

Garage Lounge and Exhibit.


Hello good day!

Like...
Okay it's a personal thing but I have a crush on a guy.
And whenever I talk about him to my girl friends they are like
"Aren't you guys going out? You sound like a couple."
But I am sure we aren't.

Well it's just my crush though.

And the thing is...

I don't know if I am becoming a friend to him or he is still interested in me!
( #Girlproblems! )

He texted me today ( our workplaces are really close. )
and asked me out for lunch but I was like "Umm... I am at home."
and he was like Oh right today's Sunday, can I ask you out again?

I am like UGAWWW.
Can I be your girlfriend. ( Please? )

Anyways.. ( I am sorry about this raging. )

I am writing about this beautiful cafe in Kiyosumishirakawa.
Apparently they opened fairly recently.




It was raining though, I like wet roads.
The light reflections are beautiful!




This cafe seems to be run by a designer. ( Interior designer )
I like the exterior of it, yellow and kind of greyish. Very photogenic.




We are apple pie lovers. ( Unofficial. )
And writing this blog article is now resulting in me running out of the house, go on an apple pie seeking journey straight after publishing this article.
a
I live to eat. I eat to live. ( Kudos! )




That's what I am talking about. ( See! )

Now you don't even need to finish writing a blog article, you are only reading it,
you can go running out of the house go grab the best apple pie and come back then
continue reading my blog with the fabulous apple pie you have got right next to you.

*Drools uncontrollably*




I had a curry with a lot of beautiful decorations ( Mushroom and stuff ) on it.
Mushrooms are my favorite food.

Oh that reminded me that my crush and I had a debate before.

Me "Hey what vegetable do you like best?"

Him "Umm... I don't know, never really thought about it."

Me "I like mushrooms."

Him "Oh my god, how dare you call mushrooms "vegetables" they are mushrooms, not categorized as vegetables. If mushrooms were included then of course mushrooms are for the win."

I was like wow okay beautiful enthusiasm.

Anyways.




That cafe really turned out to be my favorite so I am visiting there when I am seeing my bestie ( the girl in a white knit sweater. )
Ahh it's Sunday and why have I no plan to go to a cafe...

I guess because this morning I saw a huge earthquake warning and got freaked out and started packing towels in my backpack and got tired. ( Silly me! teehee. )


I will, tomorrow.
Or day after at least.

Please look forward to more articles coming! I got so much to write about!

Monz Cafe Monzennakacho

Good morning!
This article is about "Monz cafe" just near Monzen Nakacho station.




Beautiful old street.
Black and white/grey looks really good in here!




Our ootds looked good on this street!




It's a super cozy place.
They have got about 10 seats inside and
They don't have a large counter.

I like it, I want to open a cafe as small as that.




Our favorite magazine, Casa Brutus.

It's a thick magazine with a lot of information!
We needed to buy this magazine immediately!




I was dying for sugar... = Affogato!
It was the most beautiful affogato I have seen.

The ice cream was fresh and icy.
Super good on a humid day!




They have only photogenic food don't they...?
It's 2minutes away from the station,
if I lived near by I would pop in every day before work to chill...
It was a great experience!
Thank you

Jinnan Cafe Shibuya

Good evening!



Finally home chilling after a long train ride...
Loving my new mug♡




Today for lunch I went to JINNAN cafe in Shibuya
that I always wanted to go to, seeing them on a cafe magazine.




There weren't many people at first around 2pm though
it was getting crowded later at something like 2:40ish.

Maybe they are famous for coffee and cake I assume.




The tomato sauce based pasta with crab meat was great!
Really enjoyed it.




It was a very large two story cafe and there were many families.
I would go with my friends next time♡

When I was looking for JINNAN cafe I found 4 other cafes that I saw on a magazine nearby
and I am now super excited that I will have plenty of cafes to go to for lunch!

Can't decide which one to go to tomorrow♡

Easter Weekend♡

Happy Easter!
Today was a great rainy day spent with my bestie.



We could still see cherry blossom flowers on the trees!
They were mostly fallen and the river water was dyed in pink though.
That was still beautiful!




She was black and I was white.




Monz Cafe in Kiyosumishirakawa.

We went to three cafes in one day.
We could have gone to six if it was sunny,
we gotta bring the sun back!




Our favorite magazine about coffee and cafe.




Brutus Casa - on all the cafes around... Japan!




Affogato...

Beautiful!




Her panini and my croissont.

I will write about other cafes we went to maybe tomorrow...♡

It was a beautiful day even though it rained!
We were chilling so hard...

I am not quite ready for the Monday that's coming up tomorrow though...
Let's get through it!

Love.

Anna
