An art gallery and cafe located in Harajuku. It's a favorite spot of mine, always showcasing beautiful art exhibitions. I've visited several exhibitions here, and each one has been exceptional. It's a gallery that offers new discoveries with every visit. The cafe on the first floor serves delicious drinks. My personal recommendation is the grapefruit iced tea. The staff are all incredibly friendly and can communicate in Japanese, Chinese, and English! It's a highly recommended spot for those looking to casually experience art while exploring Harajuku.
This stylish Taiwanese tea shop is located on the second floor of a two-story building. It's near the large New Balance store, so it should be easy to find. The interior is white-themed and has a Korean cafe vibe. You can customize your drink with different sweetness levels, ice amounts, and toppings like nata de coco or coffee jelly. I chose no sugar and less ice this time. The honey-scented oolong tea had a delicate sweetness and a soft aroma, making it very easy to drink. You can also choose between hot and iced. I visited on a weekday and it was empty, so maybe it's a hidden gem...??

I had the mango shaved ice, milk tea and red bean shaved ice. The taste is more delicate and delicious than the shaved ice in Taipei! It's certainly more expensive than what you'd find in Taipei, but the sweet tea syrup served with the mango shaved ice is exquisite.
