01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Settle in with a coffee, a book or a laptop. Shiru Cafe gives students a place to take a breather and spend some time.

The café has counter and table seating, and drinks are free. Alongside coffee, some visitors say matcha lattes and cocoa have also been introduced. It could suit a focused work session over coffee, or a day when you fancy trying something different.

The café also provides a place for students to meet companies, giving it a different purpose from a typical café break. It is described as having a quiet atmosphere, and some visitors mention reading or studying there. Information about eligibility is aimed at students, and reviews also refer to student ID cards and an app. If you are planning to go for the free drinks, check who can use the café and any conditions before visiting.
