Last resort only

We went on a Saturday afternoon, place was crowded but we could still find a seat.

We ordered two cookie sundaes, one cinnamon latte and one americano.
The cookies were rock hard and almost impossible to cut into bite size pieces, even with the help of a fork spoon. The ice cream on top was okay.
The latte didn't have a lot of taste but still okay.
The americano felt like a tiny dose of burnt coffee drowned in 250 ml warm water.
For all drinks and sundaes, we paid about 3,000 yen.

It's always nice to find fully vegan places and I always go with an enthusiastic attitude, but we were very disappointed with that one. If you're struggling to find something else, it's better than nothing, but there are great places elsewhere in Tokyo. Would unfortunately not recommend. 😓

Cons: Hard cookies, bad coffee, Pricey and not worth it

Nice enough but not amazing.

We wanted to try a sweet and came here for a post lunch sweet. I ordered a soy latte and a “scokie” with cream and jam. My partner had a raspberry soda and a chocolate chip cookie. I didn’t think my “scokie” was all that fresh. It was hard to bite into but the cream and jam were nice. My soy latte was too weak.

My partner enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie and raspberry soda but again thought they were just fine. Not amazing.

Big succes! Really cute

Went here for a short break while walking around the city. Were very suprised at their many different options, even things i hadnt heard of before. We were very pleased (even though the Cake was a bit dry) and the staff was so Nice and good at explaining their different cakes and goods!
Recommend if you are looking for a small bite of something sweet!
I had the chocolatechip scookie.

Very cute little vegan cafe

The interior was very pink and petite. Maybe a bit too small for a person 180

Pros: Interior, Staff, Cookies

Cons: Small chairs

Nice but simple

We tried the snickers cookie, which was tasty but a bit dry, and the brownie with cream topping, which wasn't out of the ordinary.
The iced caramel latte was a bit watery but the matcha latte (warm) was nice.
The place is small, and every customer needs to order at least one drink in order to seat.
They also sell packed cookies for you to take home.
And okey place if you feel like having something sweet.

Dry cookies

They have a big selection of pre-packed cookies as well as some other baked goods that are in a displayed.
We got a coconut cookie from the displayed area, which then was just one of the prepackaged one. Was a little dry, but not bad.
We also got a chocolate cookie, which was quite thick but also hard and with that quiet chewy and dry.

Unfortunately they were out of the non-caffeine ice creams and the banana split.
The caramel iced latte was good.

They are located in the second floor within a mall. Got indoor and outdoor seating.
They also sell merchandise.

We wouldn’t come back come just for the cookies. But if you’re in the area already it’s a good place to grab a coffee.

Great spot for vegan desserts

Lovely vegan desserts, definitely recommend if you’re in the area! I ordered banana bread and ice cream which was yum!

Good but nothing amazing

The cookie and ice cream were both good and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy them. However, the cookie was cold and hard which is pretty atypical and unpleasant for a cookie sundae. The taste and options were still great regardless, I just wish it were fresher.

Pros: Plenty of seating, Quick service , Good options

Cons: Not fresh

Good but not worth going out of your way for

I tried the matcha coconut and it was a little dry but tasty. It was near the end of the day so that could be why but it was a rather hard cookie, not a chewy one. I took it away because the place was crowded and if you stay you have to get a drink. Overall it’s worth a stop to rest or if you want a coffee too, or if you’re having ice cream maybe. But I wouldn’t go out of my way just for a cookie.

Super tasty coockies

Tasty cookies that fooled meat eater in thinking there was butter in it (there wasn't)

Pros: Different types, Also typical flavours

Cons: Small place

Colorful Harajuku Style

This location fits the Harajuku vibe, but I personally prefer the other shop I visited around Nihonbashi area, atmosphere-wise.
The brownie was pretty tasty though and they had an interesting looking banana sundae.

Yummy but pricey!😋

Banana split was my favorite as a kid. I love that they have a vegan version of it. Personally I don’t think matcha flavor fits a banana split tho😅
I shared it with my partner. For one person it’s definitely too much!
It’s a popular place so it’s difficult to get a seat especially on weekends when Harajuku is packed with people.
All their cookies are top! And so many flavors!

Sweet spot, sweet eats

Two Caveats: First, the Apple Maps from HappyCow doesn’t work properly. You need to punch on the Laforet Harajuku building to find it (2nd floor). Secondly, you need to order a drink to eat in, but that’s not an issue because they taste amazing.

The Scokie is a wonderful invention and I can’t believe I’ve never tried one earlier. Sweet, soft and melting

I got the maple latte (hot) and it was perfect. Not too strong, nice and sweet and a perfect maple caramel undertone.

The location is awesome as the balcony overlooks one of the main crossings in Harajuku.

Nice but not as good as Kyoto branch

Nice snacks but you MUST buy a drink for every customer. Which is annoying when you only want a snack. Preferred Kyoto branch, it had a much warmer atmosphere.

Good latte

It was good, but nothing exceptional about the cookies. However, I really enjoyed my mocha latte.

Gluten-free options

I don't understand the bad ratings. The place is really nice, as well as the people, and it allows you to satisfy a sweet craving during your stay in Harajuku. I recommend the impossible cookie and the brownie was pretty good as well. Plus, there are gluten-free options which can also be helpful to some people!

Nice people watching - 3,5⭐️

Nothing mindblowing but banana bread and scookie were nice. Nothing to go out of your way for but it was fun watching the streets of Shinjuku while enjoying some tea and biscuits. Not cheap for what you get.

Good place for a quick snack with a drink;)

The cookies are simply cookies. I found them good. I had the Choclatchip cookie with matcha ice cream. This was good, and I had an ahron/cinnamon latte to go with it, so it was a good stop for a short break while shopping in Harajuku.

Pros: All vegan , Well located in Harajuku if you go shopping , Nice little cafe

Cons: pricey, You have to ordere a drink if you wanna sit

Not worth it

I got a cookie for take-out as there was a long wait to eat in. It cost about 650 Yen and was dry and crumbly. Not good at all.

Not anywhere near as good as Ovgo Baker Edo St East

Cookies aren’t as good here and you MUST buy a drink for every customer. You can’t just buy the food.

Cons: Must buy a drink if you want to eat there

The best vegan brownie ever!

The salted scookie is so good!
And I really liked the snickerdoodle cookie, the other cookies were a bit sweet for me.
The brownie was 10/10!!!

Ovgo - 2.5 Stars

Very hard vegan cookies. Only giving it a half star more because it’s a fully vegan baker. Otherwise, I would say this is 2.5 stars.

Disappointed because…

Really wanted to come here and enjoy a banana split which is almost 2,000 yen (more than any meal I’ve had in Japan in over a month), and they required us to buy a drink EACH, and all drinks are over 500 yen (roughly 565 I think if I remember). Come on… it was around 6pm at night and I just wanted some dessert which was already really pretty expensive. I understand businesses need to make money but I couldn’t justify buying two drinks neither of us wanted, so we said never mind. I bought a snickerdoodle cookie to go and it was good but nothing incredible. A shame.

Cute and instagrammable

It's amazing to go this Laforet now and having a floor with many vegan options - but to me personally the cookie was a bit dry and the ice cream in my latte was not creamy. I'll make sure to come back to try the banana split or brownie!
