Life Is Bear Pond Espresso from Jake Davis on Vimeo.

I’ve never been to Bear Pond Espresso, but after watching this video I know I’ll make it a priority if I’m ever in Tokyo again. The cafe’s idiosyncrasies have elicited a range of responses from coffee writers (positive, negative), and from this video I’m guessing Bear Pond’s eccentric owner might have something to do with it. If nothing else, as a barista it’s nice to know you can get a sneaker deal in the coffee industry!
