ティータイムで利用し、チョコロールとコーヒーフロートを注文。フワッと食感にチョコクリームがたっぷり、意外と幅もあり見た目も上品、コーヒーフロートのアイスと共に美味しく頂きました。4階の奥行きにあり図書館の中のカフェという感じで静かで穴場感あるのでお勧めです。支払いは先払いでpaypayにも対応しています。

仕事が早く終わったので寄りました。アイスコーヒーとモンブランを注文。店内は丁度良い広さで、ビルの谷間の外の雰囲気も感じられます。落ち着けます。置いてある本が読めます。

The bookstore has a quiet place to read and work. There are a few tables there - no power outlet though. You have to consume to sit there.

ジュンク堂の4階の奥にあるカフェです。 電子マネー等も使えます。 2人席のテーブル席とカウンター席で30人くらいでしょうか。 休日の昼過ぎで8割ほど埋まっていましたが、スムーズに座れました。 コーヒーのみのオーダーでしたが、スイーツも美味しそうでした。 買った本をそのままここで読む人も多そうでしした。 購入前の本は持ち込めませんが、それを置くための棚はありました。 店員さんが座る席を案内してくれます。 待ち合わせなどにも丁度よいかもしれません。

A simple book store cafe with free wifi and relaxed seating by large open windows. The cappuccino was great and fluffy.

MJ Book Cafe is a nice little pit stop within Junkudo bookstore. They serve light snacks such as cream rolls and cakes along with aromatic tea and coffee at a cheap price. We usually go there to have a cup of coffee after browsing the books in the bookstore. It has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
