ポール・バセット 新宿

Paul Bassett Shinjuku is an espresso-focused cafe on the B1 floor of the Shinjuku Nomura Building in Nishi-Shinjuku, part of a chain created by Australian barista Paul Bassett, who won the World Barista Championship in 2003. The cafe emphasises a philosophy centred on three pillars: beans, roasting, and baristas, sourcing carefully selected coffee beans from around the world and roasting them in-house to achieve consistent quality. The Shinjuku branch is one of the brand's key Tokyo locations, with a spacious interior that encourages sitting and staying rather than the grab-and-go model common in Japanese coffee chains. The menu features a range of espresso-based drinks alongside the brand's signature offerings, including a Shinjuku-exclusive coffee jelly dessert with milk gelato and a generous pour of hot espresso. The Pronto-style service model means table service with counter pickup, and the food menu includes light meals and sweets that complement the coffee programme. Prices are moderate for a speciality-focused operation, with espresso drinks starting around 500 yen. The cafe opens from 7:30 on weekdays, making it a convenient option for early-morning commuters in the Nishi-Shinjuku business district, and closes at 20:00. Weekend hours are slightly shorter. The Nomura Building location is a five-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station's west exit, and the cafe accepts credit cards and electronic money. Its proximity to other basement-level eateries in the building makes it part of a useful lunch circuit for office workers.
