Every time you go to Harajuku’s Takeshita Dori in Tokyo, you’re bound to find a new store, restaurant, or cafe! Takeshita Dori is the heart of youth culture, where you can experience the latest fashion and the most “Instagrammable” food trends. Tucked away near the end of the street is Reissue, a world-famous 3D latte art cafe that perfectly embodies the “Land of Kawaii.”
A Relaxing Escape Above the Crowds
It’s hard to miss this cafe, as the “3D” on the street-level sign is quite noticeable. The shop is located on the second floor, and a warm, cozy atmosphere welcomes you as you climb the stairs.

How to Order Your Masterpiece
Time to order our drinks!
Reissue is famous for turning a simple coffee into a work of art. You can choose between 2D designs (flat drawings on foam) or their iconic 3D designs (sculptures made of thick milk foam).
Ordering Tip: Look for the beverages marked with a star on the menu; these can be customized with latte art for an additional charge of ¥400.
Your Favorite Character in a Cup
Whether it’s a fluffy Totoro, a group of adorable bears, or even a portrait of your own pet, the artists here can recreate almost anything!
You aren’t limited to the menu photos. You can show the staff a picture on your phone of your favorite anime character or animal, and they will do their best to replicate it in 3D foam. Make sure to have your photo ready before you reach the front of the queue!
