CAMELBACK

A slice of castella, with its satisfyingly firm texture and comforting sweetness, alongside freshly brewed hot coffee makes for a welcome pause between a walk around the city and the next leg of a journey. On the second floor of Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, CAMELBACK serves more than drinks: its sweets include baked treats chosen to pair well with them, as well as pudding.

The dessert menu lists Nagasaki Gokujo Castella, a substantial slice with restrained sweetness. Its natural match is a light, crisp black coffee, a pairing reviewers have found especially complementary. Another option is Tokyo Nameraka Pudding, noted for its rich egg flavour and recommended as a fitting companion to coffee.

The reported menu includes an Americano for an everyday coffee, a classic latte, and sweeter choices such as caramel and chocolate lattes. One reviewer described the salted caramel latte as approachable, with little acidity. Matcha and chai tea lattes also appear on the reported menu.

There is seating for dining in as well as takeaway, and credit cards and mobile payments are accepted, making it easy to stop by. Whether you want to take a quick coffee to go between plans near Tokyo Station or sit down with something sweet and take a breather, it can suit either pace.
