A new Blue Bottle Coffee café has opened in the historic Manseibashi Station just north of Tokyo Station in Kanda. Well worth a stop in for a drink and a rest. Note that most seating is outside. This is the 11th Blue Bottle Coffee in Tokyo.
To get here exit Akihabara Station, head south on Chuo-Dori to Manseibashi Bridge, cross it, then turn the corner right past the station. Blue Bottle Coffee is down on your right – the 1st shop just past the 1912 stairwell entrance.
Hours are mostly 8:00-9:00 AM – 7:00-ish PM.
Drinks are around 500¥ (about $5 USD). They also sell BBC mugs.

The mAAch eCute mall inside Manseibashi Station in general is well worth a stroll.

The 1912 stairwell on your right is just before Blue Bottle Coffee.
On the 2nd floor of the station is a small museum detailing its history – worth a quick look after your coffee break. From Blue Bottle Coffee head north on the west side of the station, then head inside for the elevator to the 2nd floor.
