SYNdicate cafe] - a stylish cafe tucked away in a back alley

A two-minute walk from Harajuku Station, SYNdicate Cafe is an inorganic and stylish space that appears when you enter a narrow alley to the immediate right of I'm Donut? We visited on a weekday just after noon, an unusually empty time due to the rainy weather. It is a popular restaurant that is usually crowded, so we were lucky!

Suitable for small groups

SYNdicate cafe, located a little off the beaten path from the bustling Harajuku area, is a café-gallery with an appealing inorganic design made of unfinished concrete. The entire space exudes a sense of serenity and taste, and the atmosphere is perfect for those who love art and architecture.

Wi-Fi is available, but the limited number of seats (for one or two people) makes it unsuitable for long stays, so a well-timed visit is recommended.

Surprised at the variety of menu items! Food and drinks full of attention

What surprised us was the menu lineup, which is quite extensive for such a compact space. The menu includes seasonal specials, pasta, hamburgers, café-style light meals, sweets, and even arranged drinks. Moreover, the food is always delicious. Each meal and drink is carefully prepared.

Here is what I had this time

Japanese Genovese with shiso leaves and sesame seeds

At first glance, this dish looks simple, but it is a perfect fusion of the savory sesame and fresh shiso leaf flavors. It looks lovely and is filled with genovese sauce. It is also a perfect photo-worthy dish.

Salted Caramel Cafe Latte

After the meal, we enjoyed a salted caramel latte with a hint of saltiness. The sweetness is exquisite, and even latte lovers will be satisfied with the quality. The arranged drinks were also very tasty, and there was no skimping on taste.
