Part surf-motorcycle clubhouse, part cafe — Deus Ex Machina's Harajuku outpost blends Aussie counterculture with great coffee and food.
Part surf-motorcycle clubhouse, part cafe — Deus Ex Machina's Harajuku outpost blends Aussie counterculture with great coffee and food.
Deus Ex Machina arrived in Harajuku with the same irreverent, genre-blending spirit that made its original Byron Bay temple of enthusiasm a cult destination. Spread across two floors of the Bpr Square building, the space functions as a combined cafe, retail store and cultural hub where motorcycle, surf and skate aesthetics collide with a genuinely excellent food and coffee offering.The menu is far more ambitious than the setting might suggest: think hearty brunch plates, smashed avocado on sourdough, fresh salads and satisfying burgers, all prepared with care and presented with the kind of laid-back flair that feels quintessentially Australian. Coffee is taken seriously, with a range of single-origin and house blends pulled on a gleaming La Marzocco. Upstairs, the retail floor displays Deus's custom motorcycles, apparel and accessories — part showroom, part gallery, all atmosphere.
The venue can get busy, particularly at weekend brunch time, but the turntable soundtrack and casual warmth of the space make even a short wait feel painless. It is an ideal spot to recharge between bouts of Harajuku shopping, and the convivial, come-as-you-are vibe ensures everyone feels welcome, whether you are a petrolhead or simply after a flat white.

The cafe is AMAZING, I would give 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend the elderflower mint soda and the bulgogi sandwich. Very much worth the stop if you're in the Harajuku area and are looking for a quick bite.

Love this place! Perfect for working, relaxing, or grabbing a bite, plus one of the rare spots in Tokyo that's actually open before 11am. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Stopped at this coffee shop. Had the apple pie, coffee gelatin and banana bread. Apple pie filling was amazing with a generous portion of apples in the center. Banana bread had pieces of banana that could be seen.
