Hocus Pocus

Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


As well as serving coffee from local third-wave roasters Little Nap, this super-stylish cafe casts a beguiling spell with its creative range of doughnuts which are either fried, baked or steamed to perfection. There are always new flavours to sample but a favourite is the chocolate with raspberry glaze and crackling candy.
