The city turns on in two steps. The chains open between 5:00 and 6:30, and independent coffee starts at 7:00 — that is the first hour where you are choosing a shop rather than taking what is open. The one I run, NONO COFFEE Kanda, opens at 07:00 on weekdays 122 m from Kanda Station — drip coffee ¥390 before tax, or ¥290 before tax on the LINE mobile order. It is a takeaway stand, so there is nowhere to sit and wait out the last hour. Every shop by opening time · Kanda, where this list was measured from.
Not a specialist one. 5 places in the measured radius are open around the clock — 2 fast food restaurant, 2 cafe, 1 coffee shop — and none of them is a coffee shop in the sense of somewhere you go for the coffee. The internet cafés and the hotel lounges serve it; the quality is not the point at 3am.
The first shops with published opening times open before 6:00, and they are chains. Independent coffee starts at 7:00. The full list by opening time is on this page.
At the internet cafés, yes — they charge by the hour and a drink bar is usually included. Hotel lounges are for guests. Neither is a café you would choose in daylight.
Tokyo's coffee culture is a morning and afternoon one. The city is well served from 8:00 and thin before 7:00. If you are awake at 3am with jet lag, the honest answer is a convenience store, and then a real café when they open.
