808 Cafe

The bayside Shinonome area is in for a massive boost in the near future, as most of the construction for the 2020 Olympics will be taking place in this part of Koto-ku over the next five or so years. This newly opened café gives you an excuse to visit and check out the cityscape before the bulldozers and cranes arrive – perhaps you could take a bike trip here and charge up with one of 808's fluffy French toasts or soy milk-based smoothies? Tea drinkers can try out their peach- or mango-flavoured offerings, while those in need of something savoury should order one of the excellent curries or risottos on the menu.
