Maverick coffee & void

At Maverick coffee & void, choosing a coffee means exploring differences in origin and roast. Each cup is hand-dripped to order. Blends range from a mellow medium roast to a medium-dark roast that balances bitterness and sweetness. For a taste of the beans’ individual character, try the lightly roasted Ethiopian, with lemon-like fragrance and a crisp acidity, or the dark-roasted Brazilian, whose cocoa and dark-chocolate notes bring bitterness and sweetness. Iced coffee comes in two styles: an aged version, made by resting a bittersweet blend to round out its flavour, and a fresh version, for which the beans are chosen when you order. There is also a discount of 150 yen when you order coffee with food, making it easy to choose a cup to go with your meal.

The beef tendon curry is made with Japanese beef tendon simmered slowly until tender. One diner described its heat as around medium, noted the tender meat and generous serving of rice, and enjoyed a pudding afterwards. Other options include the curry topped with seasonal vegetables, baked curry doria softened with cheese, and omu curry served with an omelette.

For dessert, the menu also features a moist, rich cheesecake and a tart topped with caramelised walnuts. One visitor described a strawberry Eton mess layered with crisp meringue, sponge cake, milk gelato and strawberries, finished with a white-wine and lime jelly. As this dessert was listed as available by reservation only up to the day before, check in advance if you have a particular seasonal sweet in mind.

Some visitors describe the café as a quiet place to spend time, and it is also presented as a good option for dining alone.
