CAFE REISSUE is a Harajuku institution famous for turning coffee into edible art. Located on the second floor of the Tanji Building, this charming cafe has built its reputation on extraordinary 2D and 3D latte art, where skilled baristas sculpt foam into everything from Totoro and cats to cartoon portraits and seasonal characters, all perched atop a perfectly decent cup of coffee. It is the sort of place that makes you reach for your camera before your lips touch the cup.
The menu goes beyond the headline lattes, offering a solid selection of cakes, desserts and a lunch service from 11:00 to 15:00 featuring hamburger steaks and other hearty dishes. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, often bustling with international visitors who have seen the cafe's creations on social media and want to experience them firsthand. Ordering a custom latte art is straightforward: choose from the extensive catalogue of designs, or request something personal, and the barista will craft it at your table.
CAFE REISSUE is open from 10:00 to 19:00 and is located a five-minute walk from both Harajuku and Meiji-jingumae stations. It is extremely popular, so expect a wait during peak hours, particularly at weekends. Advance planning is advisable if you are visiting with a group, as the cafe can fill up quickly and solo diners tend to be seated sooner.
