Miyama Cafe is situated in the basement of Takadanobaba Station near the Tozai Line. It is one of the cafes under the Ginza Renoir group. Cafe Renoir, which is the more popular of the chains, is quite expensive compared to other coffee shops in Tokyo. Another cafe called Doutor offers cheap coffees for half the price of a small cup in Cafe Renoir. Miyama Cafe like it's sister cafe operates within that price range. It caters to salarymen and office ladies who can pay a little more a cup of coffee. The coffee they serve does not disappoint though and the soft cushions make your afternoon tea time more comfortable.
Thumbs up: It has solo booths that have a power plug under for people who want to study, work on their computer or read something for a couple of hours. The shop also has a free wife that customers can use for a maximum of three hours.
Thumbs down: Because there is no division between the smoking and non-smoking areas, the smell of cigarette is floating all around the room. It can make you nauseous after a couple of hours of breathing in other people's second hand smoke.
Recommendations: For those after non-caffeinated drinks, try Miyama's chai tea.
