Le Bois Kiyosumi Shirakawa Cafe & Miscellaneous Goods (formerly THE LITTLE THINGS)

A botanical cafe and lifestyle shop tucked into a quiet backstreet near the Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art, filled with houseplants and greenery, with a stylish, low-ceilinged nook at the back that feels like a hidden retreat. Formerly known as THE LITTLE THINGS, it reopened in October 2023 as "le bois" (French for "small forest"), pairing its coffee counter with a rentable 2F art gallery and a corner selling potted plants and miscellaneous goods. The menu centers on Nagasaki-style cheesecake and a signature pudding served in a terracotta flower pot to look like potted soil, alongside croissant sandwiches, rice-flour chiffon cake and French toast. Counter, table and terrace seating make it a favorite solo-dining coffee spot.
