Kind staff, great dessert, and a positive atmosphere! That cotton candy ice cream was a delight to my taste buds :D
Definitely would recommend to friends (I’ll take them there)! 10/10 perfect spot to chill.

Great spot for a matcha and some work. Their wifi is good (don't know why all the bad reviews on it), nice mellow music, and very open/airy. Would recommend

This Japanese-inspired cafe offers amazing desserts and ice cream. We tried the matcha ice cream toast, and it was fantastic. The toast was creamy and paired perfectly with the ice cream, creating a delicious combination. They have plenty of seating areas inside.

Sad atmosphere and soft serve was icy and flavorless. McDonald's is much better and half the price.

Really cute little spot. It's a nice place for reading and quieter than most places. The honey toast was more than enough for two people. Also, the service was great, I haven't been treated so well in a while ?

Wifi connection has improved, bathrooms are hit or miss, great seating and ambiance, food and drinks are mid, but they fill reusable cups! I come here to get work done
Vegetarian options: Red bean bun, cookies
Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids come through here. It may be a little uncomfortable during weekday work hours, when people nearby are working

Not what I was expecting, but they have delicious food if the day is too hot and need a refreshing break. Staff is unbelievably kind even for a party of 5, 30mins before closing. Thank you for your patience!!

Super cute interior with nice seating. The kakigori is a must try! Excellent snowy fluffy textured shave ice. The soft serve wasn't too sweet. The menu features espresso drinks and an extensive list of matcha and boba drinks, including hot tea. I am so excited to try more drinks here. The staff are super helpful.
EDIT: excellent news! as of summer 2024 it looks they have increased the portion size of their soft serve!!!

Nice place! There were a ton more people there to study or do work than I expected, so it felt a little odd to be socializing with friends, but it wasn’t too bad. I really liked the seating by the window, and thought the big wooden table in the center was pretty neat. Would love to see more seating here!
Besides that, the service was great and the food was good, too. I got a thai milk tea with almond milk (amazing) and a warm pork bun. Really enjoyed both, but the thyme garnish on the bun was sort of unnecessary, in my opinion.
Also, a friend of mine got the tuna bowl and didn’t really enjoy it? Can’t say much on that, though.

First time trying this place. I got the ube latte and it was sooo good! Would highly recommend trying it! I also tried the omi shibuya honey toast and I would love to know how much sugar is in that thing. It is very expensive for what it is, it is more than enough for one person though and I would recommend sharing it. It was too sweet for my liking and the ice cream was very melted, also didn’t taste like ice cream, it was very icy and crunchy not smooth. The inside seating area was fairly large and they even have a cute small upper level seating area. Overall I would recommend the coffee and not the toast, I’ve heard the shaved ice is good and wish I would have tried that instead. Not a “go to” place but worth checking out once.

There was a Japanese-looking shop called Omi.
Inside, everyone is doing something on the computer. In the United States, this is often the case at cafes.
To the right of the counter is a wooden object, perhaps an votive tablet? It has what looks like an ornament on it.
When I looked at it, I saw things like Happy New Year and the zodiac signs on it, and it looked like it was some kind of Japanese cafe.
For some reason, in foreign countries, mainly Chinese people tend to run Japanese restaurants and shops.
The other day, I saw an advertisement for a Japanese cosmetics company on Instagram, and since I had never heard of it, I looked it up and found out that it was founded by an Indian company.
China has amazing tea and herbal medicine, so I wonder why they don't open stores like that, and India's ayurvectors are amazing.
Things from other countries may be interesting.
This store is also cute and looks like a store in Harajuku.
I had cold tea and it wasn't bad.
The tea container is cute.

Loved the atmosphere inside. Definitely a nice place to study or get some work done. Decent caramel latte but pretty average gyoza.

Recommend: I like their kakigori - Japanese shaved ice. In particular the strawberry kind. Mango sometimes tastes frozen pieces. Unfortunately depending who makes it for you you may get it made a bit better or worse. I got it once nicely surrounded with strawberries and the. Once with 4 pieces of strawberry as in the pic.
Unfortunately the place inside just always is either too hot or tables are not clean. They majorly need some curtains to cover those windows from the afternoon sun that makes it feel like a sauna inside.
