01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Tucked along a calm residential street in Machiya, Arakawa Ward, PRESSO cafe&bar balances the easygoing atmosphere of an everyday coffee shop with the depth of an evening bar. Inside, counter seating faces the kitchen and the walls, complemented by cushioned sofa tables where solo visitors can settle in comfortably for a quiet spell.
Spiced Fare and Warm Toasted Sandwiches
For those dropping in for a meal, the standout choice is the signature Presso Spiced Dry Curry. Savory, spiced ground meat is garnished with nuts, baby salad leaves, purple cabbage, and pickled bell peppers, bringing vivid color along with crisp textures and bright acidic accents in every bite. When a lighter bite suits the mood, warm hot sandwiches filled with tuna mayonnaise or ham and cheese hit the spot, while the rich Neapolitan-style spaghetti topped with melted mozzarella offers satisfying comfort.
From Specialty Lattes to Evening Glasses
The drink menu is equally wide-ranging. Alongside staple Americanos and velvety cappuccinos, the kitchen pours distinctive flavored creations like salted caramel lattes and roasted hazelnut lattes. Refreshing smoothies, an array of crepes, and affogato round out the dessert side, making the cafe just as handy for an afternoon sweet treat.
During service hours from 15:00 to 23:00, the bar side naturally takes over, pouring draft beer, highballs, and wine to help daytime cafe lounging glide easily into a relaxed evening drink.
