sorama coffee is a cozy café tucked away on a quieter side street just off the busy main roads of Harajuku and Jingumae, offering a welcome retreat from the area's usual hustle. The café’s atmosphere feels calm and intimate, with limited seating that invites visitors to slow down and enjoy their time, whether they’re catching up with friends or taking a moment to themselves.

The spot draws a mix of locals and visitors who appreciate thoughtfully crafted drinks with a twist — like the Mino-Matcha Latte or the bittersweet caramel latte paired with pudding. Oat milk is available as a dairy alternative, reflecting a sensitivity to contemporary preferences without fuss. On warmer days, sitting by the large open window or outside lets you soak up natural light and watch the neighborhood rhythm unfold at a leisurely pace.

Service here leans toward the quietly attentive, with staff who make an effort to be welcoming without interrupting the relaxed vibe. It’s the sort of place where the friendly barista's smile and willingness to answer questions about the menu help you feel at ease right away.

Best for a mid-morning or early afternoon visit, sorama coffee works well as a peaceful pause in a day of exploring Shibuya and Harajuku. It’s especially appreciated by those who want a break from crowds yet still remain close to the lively local scene. If you’re after a casual spot where you can enjoy a carefully made coffee or matcha drink, perhaps paired with a simple cake or an affogato with rum, this café offers that quietly thoughtful experience.

I have never written a Google review before, but sorama coffee deserves one which is why I’m writing! My sister and I were in the area and wanted to find a coffee shop before the rest of our day. It is tucked away on a side street, and off of the busy main street. It was pretty easy to navigate to and not hard to find. When we entered, the lady immediately greeted us and allowed us to look over the menu and took our orders. We got their signature bitter caramel latte with oat milk an a regular oat milk latte. She took our big shopping bags and stored them in the back room as the main area had limited space. The cafe is quite small, very quiet and serene, and all dine-in guests were seated along the windows. It is definitely a quick sit-down type of coffee shop, as there is limited room (max 6 people). We loved the warm and cozy ambience of the cafe - there were kids’ drawings on the walls and cute decorations as well. The coffee shop is operated by the lady only, which we thought was very endearing. However, the wait for our lattes did not take too long! We were blown away by the lattes — especially the bitter caramel latte! There were hints of bitterness while still maintaining the flavor of the coffee and the sweetener. It was such a perfect balance of bitter caramel and coffee, no wonder this is the recommended signature drink! Both lattes were amazing and we were so happy we stopped by. This is a cafe we’d recommend to anyone in the area that wants a quick break from the hustle bustle of the city. Her lattes are amazing and well worth the visit, so please consider visiting this woman-owned small business for your caffeine fix!

An incredible small business located near Harajuku Station! The coffee is absolutely delightful, with oat milk available as a great alternative. The staff are exceptionally kind, always welcoming guests with warm smiles. Visiting this shop was such a joy – a truly wonderful experience!

Absolutely loved the matcha latte I'm definitely going to come back to try the cafe latte next! I also want to thank the kind woman who served me, she had a lovely smile and was very friendly I also love the atmosphere of the place with the big open window. If the weather is nice, I recommend sitting outside so you can admire the sky while sipping on your beverage

Their oat latte is super good. limited seating but if you do find a seat, it has a nice, quiet atmosphere, a nice break from the shopping crowd.

A nice little place to get coffee, which shares a space with a gallery it seems. There’s random seating in a big-ish room with a couple of seats in front of the counter. There’s no pour over coffee, but they serve an americano amongst other things. It was good iced. I was most excited about the pudding, and it was quite delicious. Friendly staff and fast service.

Such cozy place, perfect for afternoon coffee and treats! The lady who works there was very kind, though we had to wait a little long for our order to arrive since she seems to be working alone But the sweets and coffee were definitely worth the wait!

instantly became one of my favorite coffee stops! The space feels calm and welcoming, and the coffee is honestly so good rich flavor, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can really tell they care about quality. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!
