Yokohama Coffee Stand
This Scandi-cool coffee shop takes the word ‘minimalist’ to a new level. Two blocks from Motomachi-Chūkagai Station in Chinatown, Yokohama Coffee Stand’s grey-tile exterior welcomes visitors to an ultra pared-down space with white walls, blonde floorboards and only a couple of timber benches on which to sit and sip a cappuccino. This place is all about the coffee – a selection of cookies is the only food available to go with a brew from the La Marzocco Linea Classic machine, manned by only one barista, who also whips up seasonal products such as strawberry-infused coffee.
