About this place
The Samurai Original Blend is brewed in a siphon. It has a full-bodied flavour but finishes lightly, making it a natural match for the house-made pudding. The pudding has a firm texture and is served à la mode with fruit and cream. Some diners have remarked on its eggy flavour and the gentle bitterness of the caramel; it is a sweet treat to savour slowly alongside a coffee.
In the morning, salad and toast are available for an additional charge, separate from the price of a drink. One diner described the thick toast as well soaked with butter, and enjoyed it with salad and potato salad. It is an easy choice for a light bite with coffee. Toast options include butter, cinnamon, cheese and mixed pizza; for a more substantial meal, there is bone-in chicken curry, beef stew and doria. The menu offers the sort of choice you would expect from a coffee shop, from a light breakfast to a filling dish.
Rocking chairs line the counter, while Japanese swords and other decorations lend the simple interior its distinctive character. At Samurai Coffee Dōjō, a coffee shop in Kameido, settle in for coffee and something sweet.
