Weekday opening times, taken from each shop's public Google Maps listing and checked on 12 August 2026. Weekends differ — several of these open later or close. Distances are straight-line from Kanda Station. If you are making a trip specifically for one of them, check its own listing first; small shops here close without notice more often than you would expect.
Coming from Tokyo Station? There are twenty coffee shops within 350 m of it and five are Starbucks — here is the full list by opening time.
Coming from Akihabara? Only three of the twenty cafés near that station are coffee-led, and all three are chains — what is actually there, and what to do instead.
