Frontier

Tucked into a side street in Itabashi Ward's Oyama district, Frontier is an in-house roastery where visitors can purchase freshly ground beans or sit down to enjoy a freshly brewed cup. Faced with the extensive lineup of origins, guests can describe their preferences for acidity or bitterness, and the staff will suggest a matching bean and tailor the brewing method accordingly. An accessible Brazil sits alongside a wide range of other single origins and blends, all offered at approachable prices.

The seating area pairs hot single-origin cups and house blends with light bites such as sweet red bean ogura toast in simple sets. For something on the sweeter side, the "drinkable coffee jelly" provides an inventive twist, combining the texture of coffee jelly with the creamy appeal of a coffee float.

Beyond lingering in the cafe, patrons can drop by for takeaway iced coffees or pick up roasted beans for home brewing. Payment is accepted in cash as well as via PayPay and Rakuten Pay, making it a convenient stop during an everyday walk or shopping errand.
