Harajuku’s Must Visit Pancake Shops

Let’s admit it! We all come to Tokyo for Shopping, eating and again, Shopping! From Harajuku, Omotesando to Aoyama, these 3 places are definitely on every girl’s itinerary. While enjoying shopping, we all need a coffee break and keep shopping! Here in Harajuku, you will find numerous sweets, bakery and patisseries! PANCAKE has become one of the symbolic dessert in this area. All my friends come to Harajuku and look for fluffy yet moist with maple syrups, blueberries jam or fresh cream. Mm... yum… My mouth is watering…

One thing special is that you find Harajuku and Omotesando probably one of the places to get western-style pancakes. Many of the shops are branches of Hawaiian and Australian businesses. Hawaiian Pancakes shop with Hawaiian décor and specialized in tropical fruity pancakes. Not to mention that flowers are everywhere even in your plate. Australian chains are more modern and shine, you can go there in the morning enjoy a classic Australian breakfast with fluffy and heavenly ricotta pancakes. There are definitely far more shops that I can list for you. But well, that’s the beauty of why we always shop, or me only lol. To find a shop/bistro/pancake you like is also part of fun during your adventure in Harajuku!

I would like to recommend you my Harajuku pancake list. There probably will be a long queue in weekend so plan you trip here on weekday. Also, if you can visit there in the morning or late afternoon, the queue will not be so crazy. I have recently been one of these popular shops in around 3pm and got lucky without waiting. I had amazing fluffy pancakes with my friends. What a nice afternoon!!
