When you're ready for a break from shopping, DO NOT miss out on the tea light hot chocolate at the Queen's Collection Chocolate Cafe.











There are several cafes and restaurants in Daikanyama, but I love to go to Eataly for fabulous authentic Italian food, gelato and coffee.  w.eataly.co.jp/eng/welcom.html
