Two of my favorite past times include coffee and reading.  I was blown away by the bookstore / cafe I found in the shopping mall located at the Shibuya Station crossing.  I couldn't believe the variety of magazines, some exclusively for the various districts in which Tokyo is comprised of.  There was no doubt that I would at least have Starbucks along the way, for anyone wondering.

This was an amazing Starbucks right next to river in Kyoto.

Let’s just say that when I am in Tokyo I am never a stone’s throw away from a Starbucks.

This amazing cafe is only a short distance from Starbucks Reserve, a coffee shop i would stop at either before or after.  This place offered a slower pace to usual hustle and bustle.

This is one Train station and Coffee shop I came to know very well.

I absolutely love this picture. Taken by Scarlow’s Gallery, there is nothing that speaks to my soul like coffee and espresso.

When it comes to coffee, my heart is pulled in different directions. Each coffee shop offers me something unique and special. Scarlow’s is no exception with their unique drinks and brilliantly lit atmosphere, this coffee shop is in my top 10. Photo taken by Scarlow’s.

My family has been visiting Goedicks since it’s inception back in 1955 back when the original owners made a place for custom framing and art. Since then I have continued to go watching it grow into what it is now. When it comes to coffee and my love for art

For me this is right out of a romantic novel where plans for an epic adventure unfold. I absolutely love the idea of the two doors side by side and yet inside having the two worlds intersect. This is where Modernism meet Art Nouveau.

I love the constant reinvention of what original always starts with a simple cup of coffee.

The art of capturing mornings is one of my favorite things to do. The still quietness of the city speaks to those making moments in it for themselves.

This picture speaks to me on another level. If I was waiting to meet up with a friend I would be expecting to see Major Kusanagi. The captures the world of coffee and merges it with Cyber Punk. Although this was probably not the intention, and excellent example none the less.

In my opinion, there is no place I would rather be than in a coffee shop sipping on coffee with nowhere to be, expect with maybe a good book or a good idea that you're trying to capture.

For the love of the pig. Major, Snowball, or Napoleon?

The perfect cup of coffee can be turned into a pome.

One of my new favorite times is The Bad Poetry Slams happening the first Sunday of every month.

It’s amazing to think that just as you walk though the front door an enter to order you drink and treat your transformed to another world where Punk Rock meets Art Deco head on.

This is where the magic takes place and happens. A constantly evolving space, a place where anything is possible.

Where the Magic happens at the Bourgeois Pig.

This is an amazing place to lose your self to the artistic vibes. Overlooking the rest of the gallery this reminds me of one of my favorite spots at the Tokyo Reserve in Japan. Love all the vast and diverse collection of artwork.
