For espresso, macchinesti is the safest bet, but if you want a once in a lifetime coffee sort of thing, head to caffe l'ambre.

I also found this blog useful and accurate
Here is a link to an article on a latte art competition last year in Tokyo. Hiroshi Sawada at Caffe Milk Art is a must ... have also heard of Double Tall ... good luck tell your friend to post pics on bX.

Unless there is a second location. caffe Milkart is actually in Osaka.
Hankyu San Bangai

But you can always do a quick day run on the shinkansen.
Hi,
There is so many goood caffes, calls "KISSATEN" in Japan.
(Believe or not, even Coffee vending machine provide better coffee than Starbucks because when you paid, the machine grind the beans you have selected from 3 kinds.
I have selected 2 in Tokyo, RIN-East in Ginza, nice coffee with good looking inside design.
4-11-3 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Tel. 03-3248-9880, Open 11-23.
