Tokyo Coffee Festival 2019 (spring) brought 60 shops, around 14 shops from overseas and the event brought coffee roasters, cafes, those who sell coffee cups, food and items as well.
While the event is free, if you want to drink coffee, you have to purchase a Tokyo Coffee Festival cup.
The event starts at 11:00 a.m. and lasts through 5:00 p.m., the event coincides with the Farmer’s Market, so the place will be packed. But it’s best to be there before the festival begins as the lines can get quite long.
While the crowds are huge, don’t let that make you feel down. You can still try coffee from each of the stalls, check out a workshop and remember that things are not limited to the center, as there are coffee stalls that also are in the Farmer’s Market area and also indoors, so there is a lot of coffee to be enjoyed.
Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Tokyo Coffee Festival and having it together with the Farmer’s Market at United Nations University, it actually helped enhance the overall feeling of the festival because there was so much being offered that you can’t help but enjoying both the Tokyo Coffee Festival and Farmer’s Market together.
I had a lot of fun and I hope to come back again but most of all, continue to see how the event evolves over time.
Definitely check out the upcoming Tokyo Coffee Festival (Autumn) this October (on the 19th and 20th)!
