Helianthus baby wear & baby-friendly cafe, Naka-Meguro　中目黒にあるヘリアンタスベビー服＆カフェ

Last week Tomoko and I were walking back from our friend’s house to Naka-Meguro Station, and came across this gorgeous baby shop called Helianthus!

Naka-Meguro is not the most baby-friendly place in terms of cafes and nursing rooms (the only nursing room is in the Ward Office), so we were pleasantly surprised to see this lovely bright yellow shop.

The first thing that caught my eye were the cute colourful baby clothing in the window, and then we realised they also have a baby-friendly cafe and play den!

Fantastic combination of shopping and cafe, where mum can relax and read a magazine or catch up with friends while baby plays happily in the den!

Helianthus:

Baby pajamas and accessories – Designed in New York, Made in Japan
Super cute baby cafe with delicious (and cheap!) lunch menu, coffee, tea, alcohol and dessert. Meiji baby food also available.
Play den with cute toys and teddies, plus a nappy change table in the rest room.
Address: 1F Sacrepiece, 1-16-12 Aobadai, Meguro-ku, Tokyo
Directions: When you exit Naka-Meguro Station, cross over the main road at the lights and keep walking a little further until you reach the river. Turn left and walk along river (in North-West direction). You will see the Helianthus yellow shop/cafe on the right-hand side of the river. Helianthus is located 6 min walk from Naka-Meguro Station (422m).
Opening times: Weekdays 10am-6pm, Weekends and National Holidays 10am-5pm.

先週、友達の家から中目黒駅に向かって歩いているときに、ヘリアンタスというかわいいベビーショップを見つけました！中目黒は、ベビーフレンドリーな場所ではなく、ベビーを連れて行けるカフェはほぼなく、授乳室も区役所の中にあるくらい。なので、このお店を見つけたときには色んな意味でびっくり。まず、ベビー服で彩られた鮮やかなウィンドウディスプレイに目を奪われます。そして、実はこのお店にはベビーの遊ぶ場所があるカフェが併設されているのです。
