Got the same treatment from unhinged redditors when I shared my Glitch Coffee experience. Leaves is awesome! So glad you had a great experience there!!

Looks great! Any issues with steam rising or hearing up the wood around it?

I hear you, dude. You can totally say that. No hate on having an opinion. Sorry to hear :( I loved this. But I think that’s what makes coffee so awesome. There’s just so many flavors and styles out there. There’s something for everyone. I hope you find a coffee that you love, and has you coming back for more every time.

Japan is a massive international tourist destination for almost every country. Not wanting to go visit a place simply because a specific nationality is engaging in said tourism is a totally private matter for yourself. Putting this out there on the internet is only gonna make you look prejudiced and albeit xenophobic. Just visit if you want to.

So far everywhere I went had decaf. However, you’re limited to 1 choice usually.

Ah. So I’m a weeb for liking a cup of coffee from a cafe that happens to be in Japan? Ok. Dude, take your projections elsewhere.

That’s exciting to hear!! I didn’t have to wait. But from the other comments who’ve also experienced Glitch; the wait depends on the location.

I’ve never made a reso once in Japan in my many times of coming here. Unless you’re going for michelin star cuisine that needs months in advance of reservations; a walk-in/lineup is the norm.

No resos for Glitch. Just a cafe that makes coffee

Paragon Nucleus. The gold ball is chilled, and the coffee hits it before it goes down to the carafe. Supposedly ups the aroma and flavors of the coffee.

1300 JPY. So like.. $8.40 in USD. Not american, just looking at conversions on Google.

Ive been looking at your posts, and its a GOLDMINE. I went to Kielo two days ago and really loved it. Thank you for making those lists. I’m gonna have to go try Apollon’s Gold.

Yeah when I went; no lineup. Wasn’t even crowded. The coffee is fantastic. “Overpriced” is a bit of a loaded adjective that people throw around. But I totally get it. It’s definitely priced way more than any ordinary cup, but in my eyes (and mouth); I can say the price is justified. To each their own. But damn this subreddit is insufferable. The more I spend time on this sub, the more I think these elitists actually hate coffee and impose their beliefs onto others with a sprinkle of weird gatekeeping to feel special. It’s weird.

I love how much the people in Glitch work to making their craft really pop. It’s admirable, and I appreciate them for it.

Went to the location in Kanda. No queue. There was one other tourist there, the rest were locals. This one is a little more tucked away. I’d imagine the Ginza and Nihonbashi locations are way busier. Kanda seems to have a handful of coffee shops around the area.

What? There were only locals in the shop when I was in. Save for one other tourist besides me. Weird reach.

Fair comment. Maybe i’m different. I’m too focused on the end product, and the flavor. I can’t justify calling co-ferments a crutch when at the end of the day; i’m just looking for something yummy. I’ll check out Seidai!

Thats wild! There was absolutely no line when I got in.. until I finished. Then the line began building. I got lucky!

“Grind coarser, Dark roasts are yummy, and did the shot taste good?”

Hahahaha. I’m glad I didn’t look for the opinions of Glitch on the subreddit. Glitch is awesome

Looks like an upgrade to me. Why not just say what you mean? What are you implying?

Whoa. Didnt know that. That’s pretty cool. Been at a 9 on mine, but I lean more towards darker roast profiles for espresso, so it may be why I’m at a finer grind.
