A speciality coffee roaster on the ground floor of a quiet Jingumae side street, serving carefully sourced single-origin brews.
Sedai Coffee and Roasters is a boutique coffee roastery that takes its craft seriously, sourcing high-quality beans from growing regions around the world and roasting them in small batches on site. The ground-floor space in Jingumae is bright and minimal, with the roaster itself visible from the counter, giving guests a front-row seat to the process. Each cup is prepared with precision, whether you prefer a pour-over, cold brew or a straightforward espresso.The menu focuses on single-origin beans that rotate seasonally, allowing regulars to explore different flavour profiles throughout the year. Light food offerings such as toast, sandwiches and baked goods complement the coffee without overshadowing it. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to discuss origin notes, roast levels and brewing methods, making it a welcoming spot for both coffee aficionados and curious newcomers.
Tucked away on a residential street just off the main drag, Sedai feels like a proper neighbourhood cafe rather than a tourist destination. It is within comfortable walking distance of both Harajuku and Meiji-jingumae stations. Seating is limited, so visiting outside peak hours is wise if you want to settle in with a book and a second cup.

This is a lovely, cozy cafe located right in the middle of the busy Shibuya district. Despite the hustle and bustle around, it offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The cappuccino that I ordered was excellent, rich and flavorful, just the way I like it. A great spot to unwind amidst the busy city!

If you’re a coffee snob, skip the long queues elsewhere and hop by Sedai Coffee for one of the most unique and delicious specialty coffees. The flavor notes are impeccable and the baristas are extremely kind and knowledgeable. We left with three bags of coffee!
