POMPOMPURIN Cafe Harajuku
ポムポムプリンカフェ 原宿店
Jingumae · near Harajuku Station / Meiji-jingumae Station
Sanrio Pompompurin-themed café on Takeshita-dori with pudding-dog-shaped burgers, curries, desserts and plush toys at tables. Uses a same-day digital waitlist rather than advance reservations.
Why children love it: Bright yellow Pompompurin everything, cuddly plush at the table, and photogenic character dishes.
Honest drawbacks: No advance reservations (register on a screen at the door and wait for a mobile notification), so waits are unpredictable at peak times.
