HATTO COFFEE

the tea here is worth your attention even if you walked in for coffee. hatto sits inside the folks by 10q building on jingumae 2-chome, a quiet residential stretch that runs between the chaos of harajuku and omotesando, and the pace inside matches the street outside. it does specialty coffee properly, but the notable-tea flag on this place isn't decoration. if you're eating, breakfast and dessert are both on the table, which makes it genuinely useful for a slow solo morning rather than just a quick stop. going alone is actually ideal here, no pressure, no performance. the kind of place you return to on a grey tuesday. start with whatever's in the tea menu before you default to espresso.
