A cosy neighbourhood cafe tucked away in the backstreets of Jingumae, serving thoughtfully prepared drinks and light bites.
CLOVE cafe is a hidden gem nestled in the residential-feeling lanes of Jingumae, just a short walk from the main Harajuku thoroughfares. With its understated exterior and warm, inviting interior, it offers a peaceful retreat for anyone in need of a quiet cuppa and a moment's respite from sightseeing.The menu focuses on quality coffee and simple, well-crafted light meals and sweets. There is an emphasis on seasonal flavours and homestyle preparation, making each visit feel a little different depending on the time of year. It is the sort of place regulars return to time and again.
Seating is limited, so it is best to visit outside peak lunch hours if you want to guarantee a spot. The cafe's location makes it a convenient midway point between Harajuku and Omotesando.

Ok, so first, they forced us to order drinks for everyone. Each one of us. If that is required, WRITE IT ON THE FRONT DOOR! NOT WHEN WE ORDER IT!!! Next, they don't even have seats on the bottom floor! They don't even tell us and they let us order🤬 the 2nd floor is empty but they don't let us sit there:( 0 stars …

Highly recommended for their pastries. I just wish if they use a local blend for coffee instead of americano.

Stopped in to look at their baked goods and decided to grab two of their raspberry pastries and their raspberry muffin. Both were really good! We didn't have much time to look around so I would love to go back and see what kind of teas they have.

A very pleasant coffee shop. Good expression and matcha cake and excellent service. That's what I love Japan for.

Chill atmosphere, good tea and a nice downstairs lounge for you to hang out after walking around harajuku and shibuya all day. Great spot!
