With a dose of old-world charm, Bacha Coffee brews its way to Tokyo

At Bacha Coffee, the atmosphere is unabashedly shiny and stylish.

The brand draws queues at its shops in Singapore and Hong Kong, where well-dressed customers sip coffee and nibble on croissants, their high-end watches catching the glint from the gold gooseneck coffee pots on their tables. Rows and rows of bright orange coffee tins, perched on Moroccan wood-paneled shelves, gleam under the cream-colored lighting.

Tokyoites can now bask in this luxurious atmosphere, too. Last month, the Singapore-headquartered brand opened its first Japanese outpost in Ginza, occupying three floors of a building located behind the main shopping belt of Chuo-dori. The interior has all of Bacha’s familiar motifs, including its trademark black-and-white checkered floor tiles.
