Tips from the community
Since opening in 1979, Marion Crepes has watched Harajuku evolve through the years and stayed a staple the entire time. Marion Crepes serves Japanese style crepes which are much fluffier and more portable than the French style ones. With a huge menu of variations; do you want a banana crepe? chocolate and banana? or whipped cream and chocolate? Any and all of your favorite sweet flavors are available here. The shop is located in the center of Takeshita Dori, which is also most likely on your Harajuku checklist for being the hub of all Harajuku fashion and culture.

Must Eat Sweets in Harajuku
madeleineray (Madeleine Ray) Along with eccentric fashion, alleyways stuffed with world-famous boutiques, and loads of Japanese pop culture; Harajuku is famous for its endless amount of sweets. When I first moved to Tokyo in 2014, the go-to snack in Harajuku was Japanese style crepes, but the newest trend in the area is Bubble tea. Bubble tea became so popular in Tokyo that you can find it at the convenience store or at local fast-food chains. Other iconic desserts from Harajuku are insanely fluffy pancakes, honey toast, and of course the world-famous Kawaii Monster Cafe. While the trends are always changing in the world of sugary treats, in this list I’ve included some classic favorites from the hay-day of Harajuku fashion as well as the latest spots for you. My Tokyo weekends were not complete without grabbing a bubble tea and visiting the stylish boutiques along Cat Street.
