COMFORT Stand 池袋店 at Ikebukuro, Tokyo

Hand-drip speciality coffee and house-baked pastries in a calm, light-filled cafe a minute from Ikebukuro's west exit.

COMFORT Stand is a speciality coffee shop that opened in December 2023 as the fifth branch of the Sanyo Building Management brand, tucked into the ground floor of the Gunma Bank Ikebukuro Building a minute from the west exit. The name borrows from the idea of comfort food - a place designed to offer a quiet, warming pause in the daily routine. Coffee is hand-drip, with beans rotated daily from roasters such as And Coffee Roasters in Kumamoto, ETHCUS in Shizuoka and Leaves Coffee in Tokyo, alongside a house blend. The 24-seat room is bright and high-ceilinged, with Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat, and the food offer runs to cheese toast and homemade carrot cake. Opening hours are weekday mornings through early evening. Whether you need a calm corner to work, a mid-shop coffee break or a well-made cup to start the day, COMFORT Stand lives up to its name. Find a seat, let the roaster's notes settle, and enjoy one of Ikebukuro's most considered coffee stops.
