The Little Mermaid Cafe 

Oh My Cafe immerses itself in an underwater “The Little Mermaid” theme. Disney fans, need we tell you that this is a must-visit? We especially love the Flounder smoothie and adorable shell-shaped madeleines. Sebastian the crab sings his way into a fruit sandwich, and Ursula transforms into a smoothie almost as ice-cold as she is (sorry, Ursula). Lovebirds Eric and Ariel float upon soy milk and tomato curry. Snaffle some cute The Little Mermaid-themed merch too before the cafe transforms into its next Disney classic.

Curious George Cafe 

Curious George swings into Tokyo to hang out at the vibrant Miyashita Park in Shibuya. The mischievous monkey of our memories graces the menu, napping under an egg-laden blanket in an omurice bowl, floating atop cream sodas, and reclining on a “beach” of luscious seafood pasta, sheltered by a cocktail umbrella. With its imaginative and endearing offerings, this spot becomes a delightful choice for a lighthearted city lunch, capturing the essence of the cartoon’s original creativity and charm.
