Top 5 Personal Cafes around Shinjuku Station

2024/5/5 Edited to

... Read more新宿駅周辺ってカフェが多すぎて、結局どこが「ゆっくりできる」の?って迷いがち。私も「新宿駅 カフェ」「近くの喫茶店」で探しては、席が狭かったり混んでたりで失敗したことがあります…。そこで、今回の5店を選ぶときに意識した“外さない探し方”と、用途別の使い分けをまとめます。 まず、ゆっくりしたい日は「席のタイプ」で選ぶのが一番ラク。作業や長居したいならソファ席や奥行きのあるテーブルがあるお店が安心です。「新宿 カフェ ソファ」で探すのもアリですが、実際は“店名+ソファ”で口コミを見ると当たりやすいです。混雑しやすい新宿では、入店前に店外の待ち列チェックも大事。 スイーツ目当てなら、写真映えだけじゃなくて“味の満足度”で選ぶのがおすすめ。例えばcoto cafeは淡色で可愛い空間に加えて、こだわりのケーキやドリンクが強いので「新宿 カフェ スイーツ」の気分にぴったり。WPUはポップなホテルカフェっぽい雰囲気で、見た目が可愛いプリン(PUDDING)が気になって頼んだら、甘さが重すぎなくて食後でもいけました。 「新宿 カフェ ランチ」で探しているなら、食事メニューがちゃんとある店を最初から狙うのが◎。Pacific BAKE HOUSEは人気のハワイアンカフェで、映えて美味しいメニューが多くてテンション上がります。ランチ〜ディナーまで使えるタイプだと、待ち合わせや予定の前後にも組み込みやすいです。 東口・歌舞伎町方面で迷ったら、人が多い大通り沿いより、一本裏に入った店のほうが落ち着くことが多いです。歌舞伎町は賑やかなイメージだけど、時間帯によっては意外とカフェが穴場になります。 最後に、当日の探し方のコツ。Googleマップで「新宿駅 カフェ」と入れたら、①現在営業中 ②口コミの新しさ ③写真で席間の広さ、の順で見ます。これだけで“近くのカフェ”探しの失敗がかなり減りました。気分がコーヒーの日、スイーツの日、がっつりご飯の日で、今回の5店を使い分けてみてください。
