WanderMate CAFE

Are you in Shibuya and looking for a couple of drinks, good conversations, and even better recommendations of things to do or add to your itinerary while you're visiting? This is a must stop. My husband and I visited twice and certainly benefited from doing so. The cafe itself is beyond cozy and super cute, but the gentleman working it is the real gem. I don't want to spoil too much for future visitors, but definitely grab a beer and ask some questions. Speaking from personal experience, his insight and recommendations are amazing. I'm very glad to have wandered in. Assuming that we come back (we will), we are for sure going to grab a drink here again.

This is an absolutely wonderful hidden gem in Shibuya area of Tokyo. Henry-san is very well-spoken in English and has the best suggestions for things to do in the Shibuya area. Beer, sake, and bites are delicious. You must hit up this intimate spot near Miyashita Park.

Amazing bar and cafe right around the corner from Shibuya crossing. A great spot for an afternoon beer or morning coffee. Lovely local owner with great English and local knowledge of secret spots to enjoy in the city. Stop by to get a real taste of local Tokyo life & recommendations for your trip. For those who want to experience Nonbei Yokocho/ 'drunkards alley' but struggled to find room in the evening, I highly recommend an afternoon visit to Wandermate Cafe.

Here’s the English translation: In Shibuya, where street drinking is banned, a new almost-street bar, WanderMate CAFE, has opened for daytime drinks. This is a tourist information bar for Shibuya, catering mainly to inbound visitors. For foreign guests with a refined palate who find ordinary experiences dull, the English-speaking owner, who’s also a designer, offers tips on hidden gems in Japan. Enjoy unique pairings like sweet bean paste donuts with beer, or blended whiskey from five different distilleries. If you’re curious about other cultures, be sure to stop by!

Adorable little spot down an alley near Shibuya Station, great coffee and super friendly staff. The handdrip coffee was great. Highly recommend to start your day here!

Great spot for an afternoon beer near Shibuya crossing! Henry is the loveliest guy who will tell you all about his business ventures and his love for Japan tourism. Great for Brits who are looking for that afternoon pint

Great blokes to chat with about he area and literally cute hole in the wall place to have a quick drink and a chat with the boys.

Found this while walking. Henry was so sweet and gave great advice of where to go. Come here for great coffee and even better conversations. Don’t be afraid to come in, it’s so welcoming!
