DIMLIGHT ESPRESSO

Perfect coffee every time. Warm & friendly staff who spoke English.

Delicious coffee, relaxed vibe AND a seasonal variety of baked goods. うまい！

Located in a green Urban enclave (“The Village”), this was a great escape from the buzzy city. The staff was very friendly and the banana bread was delicious.

Great retreat in Tokyo. Excellent coffee and outdoor seating in relaxed green environment. Reasonable price.

Tucked toward the back right of Yoyogi Village 1F. Small coffee shop with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. The whole complex is surprisingly quiet and verdant. Coffee has an Aussie vibe (I got the “Magic,” which was described as a “more bitter flat white.”) Light food options (I had the buttered toast).

The espresso is delicius, but a tad expensive (420¥) compared to the city average for good ones. The place has a nice style and vibe, but it's not very big so you might not find a place easily in the weekend.

It is a nice place but not really cosy tho. Overall, the food and latte were good, but a few things that I feel this place are overrated. Firstly, this place is not allowed to use laptops. I understand the rules, but since everyone is using a phone nowadays, a bit inconvenient… Secondly, since Covid is everywhere, they didn’t check the temperature or use spray sanitiser for customers. Thirdly, the seats are really close to each other without any partitions. For health concerns, I probably won’t recommend this place if they cannot improve these things due to Covid.

Raspberry Gâteau Chocolat ??? @dimlightespresso Located 2 mins walk from Yoyogi or Minami-Shinjuku stations, Dim Light Espresso is a local cafe with a super chilled vibe. ? It has 3 small tables for 2, counter seats for up to 4 ppl, and a long bar counter with high chairs which seats 8 ppl. ? The staff are warm, friendly and relaxed (maybe too relaxed? see below...) and are happy to recommend specific drinks to pair with your food. ??‍? Craving dessert I ordered the raspberry gateau chocolat & chose a simple black coffee to go with it. ☕️ Taking a seat while waiting for my order, I noticed that there were stains from the coffee cup of the previous customer which hadn't been wiped clean. I appreciate that the staff might be busy but pickier people than me might kick up a big fuss... ? The top of the cake was crispy while moist and firm inside. Coming with homemade raspberry whipped topping, it was a nice combination of rich chocolate and tart acidity of the raspberry. ? Apparently, this gâteau chocolat is gluten free which is made mainly with eggs, chocolate and very little butter. ? The coffee was a blend from Guatemalan beans, producing a clean fresh bitterness which paired well with the sweetness of the cake. ? I will be back to visit this charming cafe, but would hope that they can improve the cleaniness a little bit. ? #gateauchocolat #dimlightespresso #chocolate #guatemala #yoyogi #tokyoeats #japaneats #dietisalifestyle #getinmybelly #forkyeah #instafood #ガトーショコラ #フランボワーズホイップ #チョコレートケーキ #ディムライトエスプレッソ #グアテマラ #代々木 #代々木ケーキ #代々木スイーツ #山手線グルメ #スイーツ男子 #食べて痩せる #デブエット #食べたら動く #食テロ #デリスタグラマー #グルメな人と繋がりたい
