Cashmere sweaters and coffee go hand in hand, so it makes sense that Ralph Lauren’s Omotesando flagship store should feature a New York-style café. Sitting here, it’s easy to feel like you’re brunching somewhere in Manhattan instead of the centre of Tokyo, what with the old-school ivy green interior and generous American-sized portions.
Treat yourself to an authentic slice of carrot cake with cream cheese icing or, if you’re feeling indulgent, a good old fashioned brownie (¥500) topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (an extra ¥600). As for the coffee, look out for barista specialities like cortados and flat whites that you won’t find on the menu in most typical Japanese coffee shops. You'll also find branches of Ralph's at the Ralph Lauren stores in Ginza and Shinjuku.
