It was Friday morning (well, actually, it was closer to 11:00 a.m., definitely not “morning” in my opinion) and I wanted to do 2 things: ride my bike and get some coffee beans for the week. So, I hopped on my bike and headed towards Shinyurigaoka 新百合ヶ丘 to a small coffee roaster called, Roast Design Coffee. They have a small cafe on a backstreet about 5 minutes from the Station.

The coffee is very good and they have a few varieties. I really prefer light-roasts and I’m not at all picky about where the bean comes from. At Roast Design, my go-to favorite is a light roast from Kenya.

Anyway, if you like coffee and you happen to be in 新百合ヶ丘, I would recommend you stop by Roast Design and check it out. There are also some excellent, small lunch cafes/restaurants on the same street if you find yourself there around lunch time.
