Double Tall >>MAP 3-12-24 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku TEL: 03-5467-7885 東京都渋谷区渋谷3-12-24 シブヤイーストサイド 2F Tucked away on a Shibuya back street, Double Tall is a real find. Though you may have to put up with a few ne'er-do-wells loitering outside in-between horse races (a betting facility is nearby), don't let that dissuade you from excellent espresso and typical cafe food that is both cheap and good (taco rice, grilled chicken thighs on rice, etc.). I watched the barista as she pulled my shot and everything was done right from flushing the La Marzoca and grinding beans fresh to wiping the basket clean and tamping.
Asuka Café >>MAP 12-34 Sarugakucho, Shibuya-ku TEL: 03-3464-0125 東京都渋谷区猿楽町 12-34 UPDATE: THIS CAFE IS CLOSED . Opened in July 2007, this cafe is devoted to organics--from food to coffee. Unfortunately, that laudable aim coupled with a gorgeous La Marzocca couldn't save my espresso from a severe case of over-extraction.
