Cafe Asan

Kōrakuen & Akihabara


With hammock-style chairs, free wi-fi and plugs for computers and smartphones, this is a popular cafe with the digital generation. Manga and anime are a subtle design theme, fitting for Akiba, but the real draw is the made-to-order soufflé hotcakes (from ¥1380), deliciously sweet treats that are well worth waiting the 20 minutes or so they take to make.
