CAFE BANKSIA at Go Harajuku

A gallery-side cafe in Omotesando pouring single-origin hand-drip coffee and craft tea amid art and greenery.

CAFE BANKSIA is the cafe stand attached to SPACE BANKSIA, an exhibition and event space in Jingumae that features white walls, wood floors and a terrace, all a short walk from both Harajuku and Omotesando stations. The cafe opened in 2021 as a natural extension of the gallery, offering visitors a place to pause with a good cup between exhibitions, art workshops and pop-up markets. The coffee programme is the highlight: single-origin beans from Fungas Brothers' Naked Beans range, hand-dripped to order, with two to four origins typically stocked - think Ethiopian Geisha, Guatemalan Pacamara, Kenyan Maasai and Tanzanian selections. Beyond coffee, the menu includes craft tea from SOTTO CHAKKA, a small producer in Shimane's Kakigi village that works with wild-foraged leaves and pan-roasted tea, alongside beer. Weekday hours run 12:00 to 17:00, with weekends extending to around 18:30. For a thoughtfully made coffee in a creative, art-adjacent setting just off the Omotesando main drag, CAFE BANKSIA is a calm, characterful alternative to the area's busier cafes. Sip slowly, browse the gallery, and enjoy a quieter side of Harajuku.
