Worked at Mickey during May, 2025! Unforgettable experience. Perfect place for wallflowers, international folks, or passionate language learners. Met a lot of friends! Share a complimentary tea or coffee. Peace to the regulars and all the volunteers to come and go.

A lovely place with lovely people. If you want to learn a language or want to get in contact with japanese people that is the place to go. We were there just out of interest during our stay in Tokyo and were more than positively surprised. Especially for foreigners it is a cool place as you can just go there for a coffee instead of paying for the entry :D Thank you for creating such a nice environment for cultural exchange

I had a really good time at mickey café. It was a very homely atmosphere and everyone was warmly welcomed. Especially the Japanese table was fun and we got along really well quickly. There are a lot of regular customers, but also new people coming every day, so it is a great place for making friends. I recommend trying it out:) You can come on your own, or with friends, and either way you'll have a good time.

It was nice talking to them. They really loved talking with us. I had a great time. I drop by on weekends. If I have time, I'd like to go there on weekdays. It's worth a try for everyone who wants to learn English. The level doesn't matter. Just bring yourself and enjoy conversation.

Great place to visit to practice languages or just to meet people from all over the world or Japanese locals. I learnt so much about Japanese culture that I wouldn’t have otherwise! Friday night all you can drink parties are a great deal and perfect for making friends in the city :)
