Uokin!
Crazy good seafood at a phenomenal price! Try out their 3 item or 6 item Sashimi platters. But be sure you don't over order...this place is unusual in the amount of food it provides! I personally prefer the one on the west side of Ikebukuro, but I couldn't find it on the map. Feel free to ask me!

If you don't want Starbucks or Tulley's, then try this place. Their lattes are very good, not to mention I prefer the atmosphere here.
