About

Located in the heart of Jingumae, Neel is a contemporary café specialising its own innovative blend of art and coffee. With an emphasis on original and superior drinks, it's a perfect venue for anyone looking to experience an original twist on coffee culture in an inviting atmosphere.

Ambiance

The café itself boasts a chic, contemporary interior with artistic touches that create a warm but elegant atmosphere.

It's the perfect place to relax, have a conversation, or work, with a serene haven from the busy Jingumae streets.

Food & Drinks

Neel has a wonderful selection of drinks, their Okinawan sugar latte being a particular highlight. Sweet and smooth, the latte has a wonderful depth of flavor thanks to the Okinawan sugar, which makes it the ideal sweet treat. When it comes to food, their pork katsu sando is something not to be missed. The breaded cutlet of pork is crispy outside, soft on the inside, and served with a tangy sauce that lifts the flavors up. The sando is thick, filling, and a great side to have with the coffee. Though there is not much on the menu, every dish is made to perfection, so every one is a pleasant experience.

Price

The prices are on the higher end, but the quality and atmosphere make it worthwhile. Expect to pay around ¥1,000–¥1,500 for a coffee and pastry, or around ¥1,300–¥1,600 if you’re opting for the pork katsu sando.
