Assist Coffee Roastery
A cafe break is essential during a ride, but when your beloved bike is also included, choosing a cafe becomes much more difficult.
You can park your bike safely and most importantly, it's comfortable. With delicious food and drinks, it's sure to be a special day...
We would like to introduce you to some cyclist-friendly cafes recommended by our staff.
Assist Coffee Roastery is located halfway between Kodenmacho Station, Iwamotocho Station, Kanda Station, Nihonbashi Station, Bakurocho Station, and Akihabara Station, and is a coffee shop that specializes in home-roasted coffee.
The location is easily accessible by bicycle and train, but once you step into the back alleys you'll find a very tranquil townscape.
This shop is the first in the neighborhood to serve home-roasted coffee, and the store's logo features a penguin in honor of the first penguin, with the hope that other coffee shops like it will follow suit and make the town more comfortable.
There are also bicycle racks available for cyclists.
If you think about how to hang it, you can hang 4-5 units.
When you first enter the store, you will see the owner's prized car, the CAAD12, on display.
The store's name "Assist" comes from the role of supporting the ace in road racing, and is said to convey the store's desire to be a base that wishes happiness and supports the local community.
The store is decorated with cycling jerseys and has a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.
There are counter seats and seats for two, so you can stop by even if you're alone.
Home-roasted coffee beans are lined up in rows.
The interior of the store is filled with a pleasant aroma and is very comfortable, naturally relaxing your mind and body.
The shop owner, Mr. Higuchi, who is himself a cyclist, welcomed us.
With the concept of "revitalizing the local area with bicycles and coffee," the shop supports Iwamotocho, where the shop is located, as well as Hinohara Village, the only village in Tokyo that welcomes cyclists, and helps to enliven the area through the shop.
Assist Coffee Roastery offers a daily lunch menu of Brazilian cuisine using ingredients from Hinohara Village, Tokyo.
Daily lunch specials are standard in Brazil, and the owner, who played soccer in Brazil, offers a different lunch every day based on his experience there.
The lunch set, which includes a salad and drink, is also reasonably priced, which is nice.
What I had was "Spicy Keema Curry with Plenty of Vegetables."
The combination of spicy spices and the sweetness of the vegetables was exquisite and I finished it all in no time.
It's also nice that you can get a large portion for an additional 100 yen.
By the way···
The curry is served with Hibara pickles handmade by the women in the women's association, which go perfectly with the curry.
The salad is served with a dressing made from yuzu citrus fruit from Hinohara Village, and you can feel the owner Higuchi's love for the village in every detail.
The coffee that comes with the lunch set is freshly ground and prepared by the owner, Mr. Higuchi, to suit your preferences.
We requested less sourness.
I'll have the Brazilian cafe dolce chocolat.
The delicious, fragrant coffee will put a smile on your face.
"We want to be a hub for people and information"
"I want you to use me to connect with other people and things."
"Assist Coffee Roastery" was started by the owner, Mr. Higuchi.
Please come and visit us.
Finally, you can purchase original goods, Hinohara Village items, roasted beans, and more in the store.
