nadoya no kaTte

Coffee brewed at the far side of a garden

Nadoya no kaTte borrows an old Nishihara house and garden. Architect Shunsuke Okamura chose the vacant property for its large cherry tree, converting the former bathroom and back entrance into a glass coffee counter. Stone steps lead through the gate; stepping stones beside the front door continue into gravel, a stone lantern and benches. The rear of the house and garden become the café.

GLITCH supervises the light-roasted single-origin coffee. An April 2026 visitor ordered Colombia Risaralda Pereira ‘Apricot Punch’ as iced hand drip and recorded a cup budget around ¥1,000. A seller’s description of that named GLITCH coffee identifies Castillo/Caturra varieties, washed processing and yeast fermentation: pulped coffee moves into tanks with selected yeast. Its notes suggest peach, cherry, citrus and sweetness—a direction for bright fruit character rather than roasted bitterness. Peach, cherry and citrus describe the coffee’s flavour profile.

These are the April cup and a historical product description, not today’s lot or tariff. The operator’s October post offers both latte and filter, so a milk drink is also an option.

A shorter stop for beans or drip bags

Baristas have been described explaining origin, processing and aromas, with a tasting note to take home. Choose filter to follow the bean’s fruit profile directly, or a latte with milk, then use the day’s beans and prices. Drip bags offer another purchase format. For beans or drip bags, it asks customers to approach staff without joining the drinks queue, making a purchase possible without a garden sitting.

The address is 3-19-3 Nishihara, about two minutes from Yoyogi-Uehara. Hours are Friday–Sunday and holidays, 9:00–18:00. The operator recommends mornings because waits often develop after 14:00. Outdoor seating is affected by rain, temperature and insects. An April 2026 visitor reported cashless payment and no food; bring a card or electronic-payment option and plan a meal elsewhere. As the project uses a temporarily borrowed site, recheck operations for trips planned well ahead.

Good to know

Do not rely on cash alone; check accepted payment methods and current bean prices. Weather affects the outdoor garden visit.
