Coffee & Cake SHU Harajyuku-Omotesandou — Restaurant in Tokyo

Off Harujuku situated in a basement you'll find a old timey atmosphere café with some delicious cakes and pastries.

An upscale restaurant with a European vintage feel. Super friendly service and English menu available if need be. They have tea time in the afternoon.
