HOTEL GRAPHY NEZU Curator Staff Picks: Indulge in Chocolate Bliss
Dandelion Chocolate Factory & Cafe

Just a 15-minute bike ride from HOTEL GRAPHY NEZU or a 5-minute walk from Kuramae Station, this shop is the first Japanese location of the San Francisco-born Bean-to-Bar chocolate specialist, opened in 2016.

The interior is bathed in soft, natural light with a warm wooden ambiance that instantly soothes. I visited early in the morning, and the cafe was already bustling. The seating area on the second floor gradually filled as well.

I tried the House Hot Chocolate (left, ¥760) and the S’more (right, ¥680). The hot chocolate had a velvety texture and a gentle, sweet aroma of chocolate that enveloped the palate. As for the s’more, its presentation surprised me—a nearly square sablé base topped with a layer of chocolate-filled marshmallow.
Expecting the classic cracker sandwich style, I was intrigued. Using a knife and fork to enjoy it, the marshmallow’s soft and chewy texture melted perfectly with the sweet and slightly bitter chocolate. The sprinkling of rock salt added an unexpected yet delightful accent, making this treat a sophisticated indulgence for grown-ups.

Biomadaga

Biomadaga is located in a corner of Uenosakuragi Atari, specifically in Room 201 (pictured on the left). When you step through the entrance, the colorful interior immediately catches your eye, creating a unique atmosphere.
At Biomadaga, you’ll find chocolates made with Madagascan cacao. The shelves are lined with brightly colored packages that are exciting just to look at. The store owner, who previously worked as a tour operator in Madagascar, has poured their passion into creating this beautiful space. The result is a comfortable and inviting atmosphere with a touch of exotic charm.

The store owner’s recommendation is the chocolate pictured on the left. From the brand “Chocolat Madagascar,” this product contains 10 pieces of chocolate. According to the owner, it’s a great choice for first-time customers as it offers a variety of flavors. The chocolate with cashew nuts, shown on the right, is also from the same brand. It has grooves for easy breaking, and even a small piece is so rich and satisfying. Why not try giving a unique chocolate gift this Valentine’s Day?

The shop is adorned with many photos of Madagascar, making you feel as though you’ve wandered into the country itself. They also sell various Madagascan goods, allowing visitors to get a sense of the culture. Most enjoyable of all is chatting with the owner, whose background as a tour operator makes for fascinating stories. You’ll leave feeling as though you’ve become a little more knowledgeable about Madagascar.

Hummingbird Café
Just a one-minute walk from Nezu Station and ten minutes on foot from the hotel, Hummingbird Café is a specialty café dedicated to cacao and high-quality coffee beans. The space features high ceilings, abstract blue-themed artwork on the walls, and soft lighting with square-shaped lampshades, all complemented by a relaxing music selection.
This time, we tried three signature items: the café’s most popular Hummingbird Parfait (center), Chocolate Terrine (left), and Coffee Cacao Nib Cake (right).
The Hummingbird Parfait, a customer favorite, is an impressive tower of flavors and textures. Layers of fresh cream, vanilla and chocolate ice cream, granola, and coffee jelly form the base, all generously topped with chocolate sauce, making it a rich and satisfying dessert.
The Chocolate Terrine melts instantly upon the first bite, filling your mouth with a deep, smooth sweetness. Made with 70% organic cacao from the Dominican Republic, it delivers an intense chocolate experience.
The Coffee Cacao Nib Cake is a pound cake infused with Hummingbird Café’s deep-roasted “Daichi Blend” coffee and crushed cacao nibs. Served with fresh cream and iced coffee, this dessert lets you enjoy two distinct flavors in one dish.
Although we sampled only three items, every dish showcased Hummingbird Café’s dedication to quality ingredients and rich flavors. If you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a conversation while savoring the depth and bitterness of cacao and coffee, this café is a must-visit.
