Places to go to next time

Travel back was uneventful and smooth (but long). We arrived home after a four hour lay-over in Seattle from Narita before arriving in Atlanta. We are already planning how and when we can go back! There was always some place new to see and explore in Tokyo, and we're already dreaming of sushi, thick slices of fresh bread, and coffee espresso cakes!
Here are some places we'd like to go back and find.
Omotesando Koffee — espresso in a klassic setting is a favorite of Heidi Swanson, a vegetarian blogger from San Francisco. The location is superb- near Omotesando Hills, an elegant designer shopping mall, and Harajuku, Tokyo's Champs-de-ly-see. It's also a nice walk from our apartment near the Aoyama Cemetery.

The Japan Times also wrote about Omotesando Koffee and their Baked Custards which are known for their distinctive cuboid shape. The coffee shop's lease may end this year, but it seems like the owner envisions other locations and may be able to extend on the lease anyways.
