Roppongi was army land before the war. After the air raids the Allies requisitioned the area, and shops for foreigners followed.1 TV Asahi's predecessor began broadcasting from here in 1959, and through the 1960s the streets shifted from housing to entertainment, with discos crowding around the Square Building during the bubble years.1 Roppongi Hills opened in April 2003 on the site of a Nikka Whisky factory and the old TV studios.1
South of the crossing lie Azabu-Jūban, Minami-Azabu and Shirokane, and the coffee changes as you walk: an old pink parlor on the crossing, café counters in the big new complexes, then small roasters and a library café on the way down.
Local tip: Plan the library café as a weekday stop: it opens only from 15:00 to 17:00, excluding weekends, though it does open on public holidays.8

Pink on the corner of the crossing
アマンド (Almond) was founded in 1946, and its Yūrakuchō shop introduced the pink interiors and packaging in 1949.2 The Roppongi branch opened in 1964, the year of the first Tokyo Olympics, on the southwest corner of the crossing.2 The original three-story building came down in 2008, and a new one opened in 2010.2 Key Coffee took the company on as a subsidiary in 2012.2
The ring-shaped choux pastry dates to 1952, designed so it could be eaten with a knife and fork.2 As of 2019 the menu leaned on the shop's own past, with Shōwa-era parlor desserts and 1960s dishes such as hayashi rice and a Spaghetti Cosmopolitan, its recipes rebuilt with the help of a former cook.2
Specialty roasters off the main road
Verve, the Santa Cruz roaster, opened on Roppongi 5-chōme as its first street-level shop in Tokyo, and at 150 m² over two floors it is the brand's largest. The front is all glass, with a lawn alongside and terrace seats facing it.3 The planting comes from the florist The Little Shop of Flowers in Jingūmae.3
Passage Coffee, down in Shiba, is run by Shuichi Sasaki, the 2014 World AeroPress Champion, who opened it because he saw few specialty shops in the area.4 It keeps students, office workers and neighbors supplied, and in good weather SilverKris suggests a filter brew.4
Roasted when you order near Shirokane-Takanawa
白金珈琲 (Shirokane Coffee) keeps no roasted stock. Beans are roasted and ground after you order, in small quantities, and every lot is hand-sorted twice.5 The shelf runs from the house blend at ¥950 per 100 g to Blue Mountain No. 1 at ¥5,000, as of 2026.5
ロバーツコーヒー麻布十番店 (Robert's Coffee Azabu-Jūban) is the Tokyo branch of a chain that calls itself Finland's number one, open from 08:00 to 22:00 on Azabu-Jūban 2-chōme.6
Flowers at Azabudai, books at Arisugawa
NOMU Azabudai Hills is the café arm of the florist Nicolai Bergmann, surrounded by fresh flowers and plants.7 It takes a Nordic line, with house-made sandwiches, seasonal cakes and barista coffee, and it opens at 08:00 on weekdays.7
有栖川珈琲 (the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Library café) sits on the first floor of the library in Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park, with views out over the grounds. It opens only from 15:00 to 17:00 on library days, excluding weekends, with last orders at 16:45, and serves coffee and baked goods.8
