Enjoy Greek yogurt and acai smoothies on the terrace at "PURPLE COFFEE" on Takeshita-dori Read in Japanese

PURPLE COFFEE is a popular new cafe in Harajuku

Have you heard of Purple Coffee?

It is a healthy café where you can enjoy "super thick" Greek yogurt from Korea and homemade acai smoothies at the same time.
In this article, we will introduce in detail the recommended menu, the crowded situation, the appearance of the store, and special deals based on our actual experience of visiting the cafe.

What kind of cafe is PURPLE COFFEE?

PURPLE COFFEE is a cafe specializing in Greek yogurt, located in a quiet alley off Takeshita-dori in Harajuku.
The location is a short walk from the landmark "Marion Crepe" in Harajuku. The place used to be a donut store, but has been renovated and is now open for business.

The store has the following three features

• ✔ Korean-style thick Greek yogurt is the main ingredient
• ✔ Offers special coffee made from Ogawa coffee beans
• ✔ Exploding in popularity on social networking sites with its colorful & reflective visuals!

Menu

The most popular "Special Mix" is the one you should try if you are in doubt!

I ordered the "Special Mix" (1,815 yen), the most popular Greek yogurt menu item.

Here is what's inside:

• BIG com honey
• Strawberry
• Pineapple
• Kiwi
• Banana
• Blueberry
• Homemade granola

What's even better is that you can add as much honey and maple syrup as you like! You can adjust the amount of sweetness to your liking.

How does Greek yogurt taste? How sour is it? How hard is it?

To summarize the points I felt

• Acidity: Almost imperceptable. Sweet and milky.
• Firmness: More firm than other brands, but not too firm. But not too hard.
• Volume: The amount of fruit and granola is very satisfying!

The whole com honey topping is especially nice, since com honey is a high quality ingredient even by itself!

The " homemade granola " is a recipe selected from 100 different research and development methods, and is slowly heated to retain its crunchy and fluffy texture and to maximize its aroma and sweetness!

Acai enthusiasts are also impressed! Homemade acai smoothie (920 yen)

I love acai and often go to specialty stores,
I love acai and often go to specialty shops, but the homemade acai smoothie (920 yen ) at Purple Coffee is really delicious!

• ✔ Low sweetness and natural flavor
• ✔ Thick and thick but with a refreshing aftertaste.
• ✔ Large cup and generous serving size!

✔ It goes great with Greek yogurt. I was worried that it would be too sweet, but there was no problem at all. Both were naturally sweet and tasted good for the body.

How crowded is PURPLE COFFEE? Estimated time to wait in line

I visited on a weekday around past midnight and stood in line for about 30 minutes.
I heard that the line can be even longer on weekends, so I recommend coming early (around 11:00).

Reservations are not accepted. Reservations are not accepted, and the shop closes as soon as they are sold out, so please be careful.

Terrace seating is available! Atmosphere, power supply and Wi-Fi information

• Inside: 12 seats (with power supply and Wi-Fi)
• Terrace: 16 seats (open and popular)

I used the terrace seating this time, and it is great to relax outside on a nice day! There are not many places around here that combine terrace seating x Greek yogurt. It's open and perfect for refreshing.

Take-out is also available!

PURPLE COFFEE also offers take-out with one free topping. This is perfect for those who work nearby or just want to enjoy a quick bite while sightseeing.

Q&A｜Frequently asked questions about Purple Coffee

Q. Can I choose the type of yogurt?

→A. Yes, we have two types: "48 hours drained" and "72 hours super-sticky". In some cases, such as during busy times, the waiter may not ask you, so it is best to ask yourself.

Q. Is there a lot of sugar?

→They are not sugar-free as they contain fruit, granola, and honey, but they are mainly natural sugars and give the impression of being guilt-free.

Q. Is it easy for just men to come in?

→A. Yes, it is! On this day, there were also customers with other men. It is a fashionable cafe, but there are also male waitstaff and an open-air terrace, so it was easy to come in regardless of gender.

You can choose from a variety of electronic money options for payment.

You can choose from a variety of electronic payment options, which is convenient.

Although I did not order it this time, the banana brulee (1,650 yen) is also a menu item I am interested in. The combination of caramelized grilled bananas, yogurt, and granola makes this dish a candidate for my next repeat order.
