Cookie Time Part 2

Back in 2021, I wrote a blog post about a brand of New Zealand cookies called ‘Cookie Time’ that I was surprised to find in Japan. In that post, I mentioned that there was a cookie time store somewhere in Tokyo. Recently during Golden Week, I visited Tokyo and finally had a chance to check it out.

The cookie time bar can be found in Harajuku, not far from the station. The store has a very flashy cute design. There are lots of unique pictures and objects around the store, including even a decorated car. There is also a small counter area on both sides of a long window to the outside making it a great place to eat on a nice day. The store sells a variety of things. On the menu, there are not only freshly baked cookies, but also desert shakes as well as ice cream sundaes. You can also buy gift sets of cookies and memorabilia. The staff were mostly foreigners who were all bi-lingual. They seemed to be very chatty with each other and enjoying themselves. But when I tried to talk to them to find out if they were also from NZ, they mostly ignored me…

I bought myself some fresh cookies. They were about 300 yen each. I bought one chocolate cookie as well as a banana toffee one. Since I had come all the way there, I also decided to get a chocolate sundae. They were all super delicious. If you like deserts and are in the Harajuku area, I recommend you check it out.
