Paddlers Coffee Nishihara

Although it's hidden on the second floor of Shibuya's Todd Snyder store, the tiny but virtually flawless original outpost of Paddlers has been doing brisk business with its impeccably executed hand drip and beans from Portland's famed Stumptown Coffee Roasters, so we're happy but not surprised to see owner Daisuke Matsushima expand his operation with this standalone shop. Sitting pretty just off the Nishihara shopping arcade between Hatagaya and Yoyogi-Uehara Stations, the café boasts a calm wooden interior, communal tables and a homely atmosphere – a little piece of the Rose City in one of the quieter corners of Shibuya.
