Not at all, like nlativy says coffeshops are everywhere in Tokyo. Yes, most are smoky, but completely separated smoking areas and even completely non-smoking places are becoming more common. Also, some mom-and-pop coffeeshops have very good coffee, including a good variety of beans. For me, the main problem isn't quality, it's price. I don't want to pay 400~500 for a cup of coffee.
In any case, if you care at all about coffee why would you even consider Nescafe as an alternative, instead of good old brewed coffee?
Because everyone in Japan does not live in central Tokyo and outside central Tokyo decent coffee is rare. By Nescafe I mean that some of the the coffee I've been served is on par with Nescafe...
