It’s an interesting vegan Cafe. The shop specialises in a limited variety of hemp-based products, mainly oils, skin care, confectionery, baked sweets (cake/brownies) and beverages (alcoholic, non-alcoholic and hot café drinks).
The drinks were very good. I had the cocoa hot chocolate, which had a nice level of sweetness without being too sweet. Then I had a homemade fruit soda, which was very fresh and delicious. My friends had the alcoholic highball whiskeys in two varieties of flavours. They also enjoyed theirs.
☆Something to be aware of☆ Since the theme of the shop is hemp-based products, they refer to the hemp oil in their food and beverages as “CBD”. As hemp for body consumption is regulated in Japan, the daily recommendation is 30mg. Each beverage usually contains 15mg of “CBD”, it takes 2 beverages to reach this regulated suggestion.
For this reason, it seems that the clerk is required to inform each purchase that the product contains “CBD” and ‘Is it okay that this has “CBD” ?’ every time. As a beginner to the Japanese language, this was a confusing question, since I thought I had made a mistake during the ordering process, but after reading the signage it seems that this 30mg per day is the contextual explanation for this clarification that’s unique to this cafe.
Also, because of that, you can request any beverage without “CBD” if you want to control your daily consumption (e.g. 「CBDなし」or ‘CBD nah-shee’ ).
★★★★☆
So, why only 4 stars? Well, the café clerk had an unusual approach to serving customers. At the time there was only one clerk who was a little slow to take drink orders.
For example, upon our second round of drinks, my two friends ordered new beverages whilst I minded their belongings at the table. Then I immediately went to the register to order mine after they returned. Even though there were zero other customers in the store, the clerk asked me twice to please wait whilst she spent 5 minutes making the drinks for my two friends, before she allowed me to order my drink. Ideally in this situation our 3 drinks would come out at the same time, but instead I couldn’t even order my drink until after they had received theirs. It was bizarre, but I’ve since been informed that the clerk is new and still learning. So I...
Read moreI visited this wonderful cafe yesterday while in Harajuku. I was hungry and needed something vegan, so was happy to find this place. I had their lasagne, chocolate cake and cup of cocoa. Everything was so tasty and filling. The lasagne especially is the best tasting lasagne I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely head back there next time I’m in Harajuku. 😊🙏
Went to this lovely cafe again yesterday. Ordered the same food as last time as I loved it so much last year and knew I’d love it again. I was getting a tattoo done shortly after my meal, so I think the cbd oil helped with that. Anyone thinking of giving this place a try, just do it. The lasagne is just the nicest tasting lasagne I’ve ever had, and the best texture, just perfect. The chocolate cake and hot chocolate were equally as delicious as they were last year. I know I’ll visit them again when I come back...
Read moreA little expensive, but great for an occasional treat-yourself cafe day.
I got a matcha latte with yuzu CBD oil and a peanut butter CBD cookie (eat-in, it ended up being just under 1600 yen).
The latte tasted fabulous - not too bitter but the matcha flavor was there. One thing that surprised me was the potency of the yuzu flavor - the drink almost had a Froot Loops aftertaste (which I mean in the absolute best way)!
The girl at the counter was patient with me not knowing what I wanted and explained the menu. She was super kind throughout the whole thing, which made for an even more pleasant experience.
They also have CBD oils, gummies, etc. for sale so I’ll definitely be back to try them.
Overall really good experience and I...
