Enseigne d’Angle Harajuku – A Hidden Time Capsule of Romance and Flavor
On a rainy day, when the main streets of Harajuku were overflowing with crowds and umbrellas, I stumbled upon this hidden gem—Enseigne d’Angle—tucked quietly below street level. You walk down a flight of stairs and suddenly, it’s like stepping into another era. The air shifts. It’s warm, romantic, and filled with the gentle hum of nostalgia.
The gentleman at the entrance welcomed me with grace and guided me to my seat, handing me the menu with the kind of calm that makes you feel truly seen. As I sat, I couldn’t stop admiring the room—vintage teapots, charming old coffee equipment, little touches everywhere that whispered stories.
I always like trying something special when I enter a new place, and there it was: a cappuccino with cinnamon and orange peel. And let me tell you—it was unforgettable. The taste, the scent—etched into memory. I also had their baked cheesecake, which was rich and flavorful, and a Croque Monsieur that hit every savory note. To my surprise, the same gentleman who seated me was the one who prepared it all—a quiet one-man show of care and craft.

The seating options cater to everyone, from cosy corners perfect for quiet moments to stylish tables for groups of four or more to enjoy relaxed conversations. We ordered the Irish coffee and latte espresso, and I highly recommend both if you're craving something beyond the usual mundane coffee—these drinks truly elevate the coffee experience.

The reason made me leaving a review about this place is the coffee that I ordered, called « Amber of Queen »....FABULOUS! It might be a bit too sweet for some coffee lovers, but it hit me perfectly. Ah and also like the atmosphere, it’s my kind of lazy Sunday...
