Andreas Serna: 10,000+ records collected over 40 years by the owner and solo bartender! Ultra chill vibe. All drinks are 500 yen including many different whiskies and pour over coffee made carefully. Diverse crowd.
Daniel Marder: Best Bagels in Japan. Open Wednesday through Thursday no sign look for the building with the spiral fire escape staircase out front. Great cream cheese flavors doubles the price of your lunch-do it!
Maria Elisabetta Gungui: Nice ambience, friendly staff, delicious skewers (start with the tasting menu to make sure you get something unusual and you'll be surprised how gorgeous they all are), generous sake/shō-chū servings!
sputneek: This way-too-cool bike-surfshop cum café tucked in a Harajuku lane serves really good coffee. Sandwiches are hearty meals with fries and salad. Really nice place to just 'zone out' from the crowd.
