Pompompurin Café Harajuku - Japan

The menu includes both sweet and savory dishes, making it a perfect spot whether you want a snack or something more substantial. Among the savory options are curry (with yellow rice shaped like Pom Purin's face) and udon. For those with a sweet tooth, options include pudding, pancakes, and a dessert featuring ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream, jelly, and lots of candy (I had to ask my partner for help to finish it!). The drinks menu includes juices, coffee, and soda. You can check their website to see the complete list of dishes, including those that can be customized. Was it good? The prices are typical for themed cafés, ranging from 600 to 1500 yen. I usually recommend trying the sweet dishes, as the salads tend to be pricier than comparable options at other restaurants (of course, you’re paying a premium for the cuteness). Additionally, the savory food at these kinds of places often isn't noteworthy for its quality, though my Japanese friends who have visited several themed cafés mentioned that this one stands out above the average. My advice? Avoid weekends, as it fills up quickly. Instead, try to visit on a weekday and enjoy a more relaxed experience. And if you're worried about leaving without a souvenir, the café has a small shop in the corner full of Pom Pom Purin merchandise.
