What people say, in short
Koffee Mameya is recommended across Omotesando and Kakeru, but the Omotesando bean shop differs from Kakeru's seated tasting venue. An Omotesando visitor found the experience distinctive, while another describes it primarily as a bean shop. Visitors mention queuing, and one wished for somewhere to sit. Opinions without a named branch include complaints about underextraction and disappointing take-home beans, alongside strong praise for the coffee.
