Chermside Sandwich sits on the second floor of a building just off Harajuku's famous Takeshita Dori, offering a welcome breather from the crowds below. The cafe specialises in thick, generously filled sandwiches made with quality bread and a mix of Japanese and Western-inspired fillings that go well beyond the usual egg mayo.The menu features items such as teriyaki chicken with crisp lettuce, avocado and cream cheese on wholemeal, and katsu sandwiches with a satisfying crunch. Drinks range from standard drip coffee to fruit lattes and seasonal specials, all served in a bright, Instagram-friendly space with enough seating to catch your breath between shops.
Prices are reasonable for the area and the portions are filling, making it a solid choice for a quick lunch. The entrance can be easy to miss — look for the signage on the street level and head up to the second floor. English menus are available.

Unfortunately I was not overly impressed with the steak, which was overly chewy. My partner had the egg sandwich which she described as average. The portion was of a good standard. The meat sandwich collapses as soon as you remove the clingfilm which also makes a messy experience.

Visited with a friend. It is such a nice place! We chose a meat box as a main, and it turned out so tasty! Also we tried cheese sandwich and it was really cheesy.

Hands down, the best meat sandwich I have had in my entire life. From the very first bite, the flavour hits you - juicy, perfectly seasoned, fresh, and made with real care. Great bread, balanced sauce, generous portion, and most importantly, amazing taste.

Extremely loving staff that cater to English speakers just fine. Loved the whole place and experience even with the waiting time.

The steak sandwich is absolutely amazing as well as the fries. I knew with how viral this place is, I was in for a treat. Needless to say, Chermside did not disappoint. The smoothie was a nice surprise as well, it was the best I have had.
