Self Cafe Opens Its Second Location in Tokyo

On November 1st, Self Cafe, a next-generation café brand known for its unmanned and comfortable environment, opened its second location in Sugamo Station, Tokyo. With over 70,000 monthly users nationwide, it promotes a new culture of work and study by offering a welcoming space that encourages creativity and productivity.

A New Kind of Cafe

Self Cafe is characterized by its keywords: “unmanned,” “comfortable,” and “free.” In this café, there are no staff on-site; instead, customers can purchase their drinks cashlessly and enjoy unlimited stay time as long as they’ve bought a single beverage. The café is designed as a “second desk” for working and learning individuals, catering to morning activities before heading to work, refreshing breaks during lunch, evening study, or remote work.

Flexible Plans for Various Needs

Self Cafe offers three plans tailored to different levels of usage:
1. Light Plan: Best suited for users who need a short stay of 30 minutes to an hour. Ideal for quick work such as reviewing materials after school or checking emails before work.
2. Standard Plan: Perfect for those focusing on remote work or side jobs during weekdays. It serves as a reliable “second workspace” for individuals who appreciate having their “own space” at specific times.
3. Premium Plan: Designed for those wanting to spend all day working or learning in comfort. This plan caters to users engaged in intensive tasks such as studying for exams or gaining qualifications, providing a free environment without time constraints.

Features of Self Cafe

Self Cafe is tailored to fit the lifestyle of urban dwellers looking for a second desk. The bright and open design creates a conducive environment for work, study, or relaxation.

• - Afternoon: Refresh yourself during lunch or recharge your phone.
