About this place
A good place to start at Mameden Coffee is the deep-roast straight coffee, “Mameden Coffee”. The menu also includes a bitter Brazil and a tangy El Salvador; both cost 600 yen. One diner paired the deeply bitter coffee with cheesecake and enjoyed how well the flavours went together. Another report mentions orange jam served with the chocolate cake and blueberries with the rare cheesecake, making the pairings part of the appeal.
For a change of pace, both the bitter and tangy iced coffees cost 600 yen. Milk coffee is available hot or iced, too. The menu notes that iced milk coffee comes with a stirring stick, but can be enjoyed without stirring—a drink you can have your own way.
Pudding is listed in the menu materials at 700 yen, though reviews differ: some report that it was temporarily unavailable, later returned, or was not available on the day they visited. One described serving paired bitter caramel and cream with a firm-set pudding that nevertheless melted easily in the mouth. Since the menu also says pudding cannot be ordered on its own, it is worth checking whether it is being served if you have it in mind.
Some visitors have spent time reading in the quiet dining room, taking in the pictures and knick-knacks. It is a coffee shop for a leisurely coffee and something sweet, with a choice of drinks to start with.
