What the list tells you
Six shops open at 7:00 and five are Starbucks. Circles Ginza, Marronnier Gate, Matsuya, Ginza Six and the Reserve store. Their ratings run 4.0 to 4.4, noticeably higher than the same brand near Tokyo Station or Shibuya. Ginza branches are quieter and better staffed, and the reviews show it.
ROAR COFFEE is the highest-rated coffee-led shop. 4.5 across 885 reviews. Small, roasts its own, and not on the main Chuo-dori drag.
Ginza Itoya's café carries 19,392 reviews. That is more than any other venue in this entire series by an order of magnitude — it is the stationery shop's café, and people rate the shop rather than the coffee. Worth knowing before you read too much into the number.
What Ginza is actually good for
Department store cafés and hotel lounges, which do not show up well in a list sorted by opening time because most of them start at 10:00 or 11:00 with the shops. If you are in Ginza before nine you are there for a reason other than coffee, and Starbucks is a perfectly good answer.
For what it is worth, Ginza is about ten minutes from Kanda on the Ginza line. I run a takeaway stand at that end. It is a different kind of place entirely and I would not cross town for it.
