Streamer Coffee Company
I’m not really into latte art, but this is the place to go to.

It took me a while to find the entrance to this place, but once inside it is a great break from the busy streets of Shibuya. James Freeman, CEO of Blue Bottle Coffee, said: I’m sure I think about Chatei Hatou every single working day.
There are more branches of this ramen chain, but this is sadly the only one I’ve visited. Loved the ramen, especially the brooth is great.
As most people who have been to Tokyo will tell you: this is a must visit (especially at the end of the trip as you can get all souvenirs there easily).
A great burger place on the top floor of Omotesando Hills. There are more branches throughout the city, but this is the one I’ve been to the most.
If drinking coffee while listening to classical music blasting through a great speaker system is your thing: this is your place. It was a special experience walking through the busy streets of Shibuya and then ending in this venue that seems a bit out of touch with everything in the area.
An outdoor food court close to the Omotesando subway station.
This is the tiniest coffee place I’ve been to, right next to Commune 246 and Blue Bottle Coffee.
This was my goto place of the Blue Bottle Coffee chain (there are more shops throughout the city – the one in Nakameguro is also very nice, especially the building itself is great). The big communal table is great for reading and watching the baristas preparing your coffee.
Great matcha latte and cookies. Even during the winter it is nice to sit outside next to heater for a short break.
This bar is filled with vinyl records. Have a drink while listing to a great selection of Jazz, Blues and Soul played by owner Kobayashi-san. There is a sign asking for people not to talk too loudly (which is a general good advice for Japan).
American pizza place in the basement of the H Beauty & Youth store. This one is great for a quick bite.
Great breakfast place in Omotesando, but I’d recommend coming during the week as there are long queues on weekends. Loved the French toast.
