A café on the 1st floor of the Yanagicho Building

LEAFLETTER is a cafe on the first floor of the Yanagicho Building in Yanagicho, Saiwai Ward. Wooden benches line the glass shop front.

The opening hours are written on the entrance door.

Inside, wooden counters and shelves give it a calm feel. Bags of coffee beans are lined up on the counter.

We came across this cafe, which we had wanted to try for a while, on a walk toward Shitte Station after lunch in Kawasaki. It is quiet and calm inside, perfect for dropping in for a break during a stroll.

A maple cinnamon latte with real spice

As cinnamon lovers, we spotted the maple cinnamon latte on the menu and ordered it right away. It comes hot or iced, and we went with iced.

The first sip is not too sweet. The spicy aroma of cinnamon comes through clearly, and it balances nicely with the flavor of the coffee. It was easily one of the best cafe drinks we have had lately. If you love cinnamon, it is well worth a try.
