Audi Cafe by CITABRIA has opened on the second floor of Audi Forum Tokyo (6-12-18 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) in Jingumae, Tokyo.
The existing Audi Cafe has been renovated into a full-fledged cafe. In collaboration with Citabria, which operates a number of food and beverage businesses, including the Michelin-starred restaurant L'Effervescence, the cafe was created with the concept of a "driving scene amidst greenery." The interior design was by Riki Saito, principal of DESIGN STUDIO GLAM. Taking advantage of the showroom's high ceilings and natural lighting, the cafe features large tables made from original timber and trees.
The menu, inspired by a traditional parlor, ranges from light meals like quiche and baguette sandwiches to drip coffee and smoothies. The coffee, made with beans from The Cream of the Crop Coffee Kiyosumi Shirakawa Roaster, includes Yirgacheffe from Ethiopia and Mandheling Blue Batak from Indonesia (both cups: 520 yen, pot: 840 yen). There is also a wide selection of sweets, including Audi Cafe's original parfaits, such as the strawberry-based "Parfait Pink" (945 yen). Opening hours are from 10:00 to 19:00.
