Ovgo B.a.k.e.r. Meiji St. - Tokyo

Need to reserve a table in advance. Cookies and Scokies are all highlights.

A cute little spot on the second floor of Laforet the Mecca of the Harajuku cuteness. They offer cookies and ice cream and I think it’s the only place that offers vegan banana split in Tokyo.

The vegan cookies were quite tough. I considered giving it an extra half-star since it is a fully vegan bakery, but otherwise, I would rate it around 2.5 stars.

I was really looking forward to enjoying a banana gap here, which costs almost 2,000 yen—more than any meal I had in Japan over the past month. However, they required us to each purchase a drink, and all drinks were priced over 500 yen (I think around 565 yen). It was around 6 PM, and all I wanted was a dessert, albeit a pricey one. I understand that businesses need to make a profit, but I couldn’t justify buying two drinks that neither of us wanted, so we just didn’t say anything. I ended up getting a snickerdoodle cookie to go, and while it was good, it wasn’t anything extraordinary.

I made a special request and it was accommodated, but overall, I didn't really enjoy the flavors.
