We visited in June 2025 on a Wednesday because we love their cookies! Upon arrival, the front desk lady rudely gestured for us to take a seat and wait without saying hi. It really threw me off because her attitude was so rude and dismissive. We sat down and all our servers were friendly. The cake was delicious and the tea was a nice pairing. We encountered the same front desk lady upon paying and she was again very rude. Did not look us in the eye or acknowledged us. She rudely tapped the credit card machine saying "tap!". We tapped our card multiple times since it didn't do anything. Then she realized the machine wasn't on...proceeds to redo the transaction then said "now tap" while looking down and with an attitude. I believe she needs better customer service training. She had really short hair with red coloring. Her attitude really soured our experience there.

Relax and chill spot to stop by for a break from shopping. I had the tiramisu latte and the strawberry sponge cake. Just remember to order an item for each person as it’s required by the restaurant. You can choose be to seated indoor or outdoor (with blankets provided)

I really wanted to like this place because I love Yoku Moku cigare and the food looked so good. It was fine. I waited about 45 minutes to be seated because the patio was closed (because they thought it would rain, though it never did). I believe you can make reservations, and perhaps if I had the whole experience would have been better, but when I did finally get seated, they put me at a six person table (I was by myself) so I honestly felt like a bit of an idiot. It was a rough start. The food (smoked salmon and potato gallete) was a good portion and it was filling with a perfectly cooked egg inside. The taste was fine, but the best part of the meal was the corn consomme which came on the side in a tiny cup. It was so rich and flavorful, I would have had a whole meal of that if I could have. The matcha mont blanc was visually stunning but disappointing in terms of flavor. The base cookie and exterior had light matcha flavor but there wasn't matcha in the interior fillings, and for reasons I don't understand, they chose rum raisin ice cream as the top interior filling. Mystifying. And unfortunate because it kind of muddled the matcha flavor which was already sparse. The meringue and cream inside were both good, and the meringue maintained a good crunch. The yuzu jam that came with it as garnish was excellent and paired well, but the sesame snaps were not good at all and were a bit on the burnt side. To be fair, it can be hard to judge how done a sesame snap is when you use black sesame, but for the price (just short of 2000 yen), I would at least expect them to not be so overbaked. So, the matcha mont blanc wasn't bad, but I wouldn't particularly recommend it. The service was a bit... stuffy. It seems like maybe that's what people come here for but it's not my vibe so I found it rather cold and uninviting. The female staff were all nice enough but the male staff member who seemed to be in charge was a bit brusque and not particularly attentive. If you're a wheelchair user, this place is a no-go. There are multiple stairs to get to the seating areas, and even to the patio, it looked like. ND folks might find this place difficult because of the style of the service but it wasn't overly loud or bustling, so it could be ok for some. Overall, it was expensive and there wasn't anything remarkably good about it, so I was underwhelmed and disappointed. Perhaps worth a try if you are going with a friend for teatime or such, but I don't plan on going back. The cookies are still top notch though, so grab some of those from the shop next door instead.

I enjoyed this place a lot. First of all because of the great service. Amazing! They were super responsive to every request I had. The food was also good. I highly recommend to get the salmon galette, there is also an egg inside and cheese gratin. However, be aware that during the lunch time the place can get pretty crowded and you might need to queue. I came on a weekday just a little before 2 PM and had to wait for 10 minutes or so. And even though I got my seat after 2 PM, I still could enjoy the lunch deal. Thank you, Yoku Moku Aoyama!

Food was good, especially the galette complete! Mont blanc could be improved— note: contains berries.
