Moena Cafe

During my walk to Harajuku, a sudden craving for sweets timed perfectly with a street hustler lead us to this desert café located far from the main street. There was a pretty long line which was horrible to wait in considering the summer heat, but my group waited it out and eventually was seated.
The café has two floors and sells a variety of cocktail drinks and pancake orientated deserts. I ended up getting a mango orange for myself and as a group we got the chocolate pancake and strawberry pancake. The drink was an absolute waste of money. It tasted like something I could buy from a convenience store while having a ridiculous price (around 700 yen). Other drinks weren’t much better either; the 400 yen coke was just a Coke in a small bottle.
While the pancakes tasted good, the portion was way too small for its price. Overall, this place was overpriced as crap.

This place has the most delicious brunch food I’ve ever had in the world… seriously! I had the tomato eggs Benedict and pineapple juice. It was really SO good, the ingredients were so fresh.
My hubby had the locomoco and we were super surprised that they used fatty brisket chunks, instead of the usual hamburger patties, it was amazingly delicious. He loved it so much!
Most of the waitstaff don’t speak english incredibly well, but that shouldn’t be something that bothers you while in Japan. Our waitress though spoke english really well and understood all of our requests, so it was a really nice experience. Plus the menus have pictures, so you can just point at what you want!
A quick note, the pancakes looked SO GOOD! The girls sitting next to us ordered them and they looked like huge portions with so much fresh fruit! Not something you’d necessarily find here in the states. I really should’ve gotten some!
Hopefully we’ll be able to make it back to Japan one day to eat at this place again!
