Well cultural or not we do have examples where its pretty blatant that one character loves the other, we have that with kimi and nishio, kanae to shuu, kaneki to rize, akria to amon.

Touka and Kaneki always have been in that state which could be read as romantic  but doesnt have to be read as romantic similar to ayato and hinami or kaneki and hide.

Its still out in the open. For Ishida personally i think he multiships his characters tbh. Like Anon said there are panels/illustrations featuring kaneki and rize/eto which are clearly suggesting attraction (kanekis sexual one for rize and etos "Love" (in her twisted way) for kaneki) its also imo pretty apparant that shuu is very attracted to kaneki (like he has been to touka premanga).

And abt the coffee scene he was probably crying bc his subconscious (kaneki) thought everyone died in the anteiku raid > he broke out in tears and didnt know why bc he consciously didnt remember that event in the present or surpressed the memory. If its abt stating that touka is beautiful well she just canonly is considered as such, he also thinks of rize and eto as pretty ppl, shuu looks like a model and arima is also stated by him to be beautiful - so if thats any implication for a ship -

Tokyo harem here we come.
