Coffee Work Shop Shanty
Founded in 1968. It is a coffee shop that continues to be loved in the town of Senju. When you open the entrance door, you can feel the history of the wooden floor and table seats, and the letters on the coffee cans that make you feel the age. The owner and his wife greet you with a gentle smile behind the counter.
“The more powder you use and the less time it is in contact with hot water, the better the coffee will be,” says Miyamoto, the owner of the shop. Using beans that he roasts himself and brewing it with a siphon, it is truly a master craftsmanship to complete a reddish amber coffee in a blink of an eye. The fragrant, sour and sweet blended coffee is refreshing and delicious, and the homemade cake that goes well with coffee is a welcome treat. Many of the customers are young, and there are people who slowly enjoy their coffee while flipping through paperback books.
Please enjoy the time at the coffee shop that has not changed since the Showa era.
There are always more than 10 types of coffee carefully selected for their aroma, sweetness, and sourness. This is "Mocha Yirgachafi" from Ethiopia. Original blend straight coffee of the day is 450 yen.
The pound cake (right), which is baked with fresh fruit in it, has an exquisite aroma of the dough and the natural sweetness of the fruit. The moist chiffon cake is also recommended.
Junichi Miyamoto and his wife Fusako are the owners. Junichi is in charge of coffee, and Fusako is in charge of cakes and sandwiches.

SLOW JET COFFEE
About 10 minutes on foot from Kita-Senju Station. A modern café located in a renovated garage on Bokutei-dori.
There are two types of coffee extraction: "slow coffee", which uses beans roasted in the shop and drips carefully one cup at a time, and "jet coffee", which is extracted at high speed with an espresso machine. Taking into account the condition of the coffee beans and the weather that day, the brewing time is changed, and the machine is fine-tuned by the staff who are all baristas.
Early in the morning, drink up an espresso and go to work. In the early afternoon, enjoy plenty of drip coffee and arranged coffee slowly.

CAFE KovaGarden
A pottery shop that lasted 50 years in Senju was renovated into a coffee shop about 30 years ago. The shop with plastered walls and wooden doors, which is reminiscent of European building, was built by a local plasterer and carpenter who were told the shop image of European style. The wooden tables and comfortable chairs are made to order. You can feel the thoughtfulness to spend quality time here and there.
The coffee is hand-dripped with an original blend roasted over Binchotan charcoal. Every time an order is placed, the beans are ground, and plenty of powder is used to maximize the richness and aroma unique to charcoal roasting, and served in a special cup. Homemade sweets are prepared to accompany the coffee. Sweets can be selected from scones and chiffon cakes lined up in a glass showcase. The black tea selected by the shop manager, who is also a tea instructor, and the flower-shaped special grilled sandwiches are also popular.
A perfect balance of crispy and moist scones. In addition to fresh cream, you can choose one topping from strawberry jam, orange marmalade, or honey.
A cake loved in England that is derived from Queen Victoria. Seasonal jam such as berries is sandwiched between butter sponge cake. Serve with fresh cream.

Mamekokoro Kita-Senju shop (Mamekokoro Kitasenjuten)
A specialty shop that sells coffee beans from various production areas in Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. We are spreading the charm of diverse and deep coffee from the city of Senju.
About 60 kinds of coffee beans lined up in the shop are marked with the characteristics of flavor and the optimum roasting condition, so you can choose your favorite taste. The original blend, which has a good balance of flavors, is also popular. When you can't decide what to choose, ask the staff.
With the idea of "enjoying coffee with freshly roasted fragrant beans", this shop is characterized by roasting each time an order is placed. While waiting for the finished product, you can enjoy the blended coffee (ice coffee is 100 yen) served in the cafe space. The cafe menu includes drip coffee and espresso coffee. Takeout is also popular, so it is recommended to stop by while walking around town.
The cafe's coffee offers the standard "No. 4 Blend". It has a good balance of richness and sweetness, bitterness and sourness, and it has a taste that does not choose the person who drinks it. Cafe latte with rich milk is also popular.
Freshly roasted coffee beans can be delivered even in powder form. We also sell coffee-related goods and gifts, such as original canisters (385 yen).
Staff member Nao Matsuzaki said “Coffee is as profound as wine, with the individuality of each region and farm. Please find your favorite coffee."
