Cute working cafe

Came here with a friend and ordered the miso burger (didn’t taste the miso?), lotus fries (crunchy and seaweedy!), pork cutlet sandwich (savory and filling), and almond soft serve (SO CREAMY!!). Loved the bright atmosphere and the servers knew English which was nice :)
The taste isn’t out of this world, but the ambience is so cute. I saw many people working on their laptops here!

Pros: Almond soft serve

Kid approved breakfast

I’ll give the Oatmilk coffee 3 stars, but the kids give the food 5 stars, and the soft serve 10 stars! It’s really satisfying to get basic diner/cafe food but fully vegan. We had the shiro noir (excellent), the pizza toast (the cheese had the perfect salty gooeyness of non-vegan cheese), the fluffy pancakes (very good), the miso cheeseburger (okay). We will probably be back every day for a convenient breakfast close to our hotel. At $35-40 for 4 people, it wasn’t super cheap, but we consider it equivalent to getting hotel breakfast.

Great Lunch

The cafe is large and clean. We were greeted and given a basket to place our luggage. The choice was great and what we chose was elegantly served. The bread moist and the fillings were good. The vegan cheese was melted. We really enjoyed it and would definitely return

Pros: Choices, Calm environment , Great taste

Basic burgers

We had lunch here yesterday and I now I have come to do my Happy Cow updates I am sorry to say it is hard to remember much about the burgers we had. So I would say they were ok burgers but not particularly memorable. But vegan places are always great to find and the fake trees inside were nice. More memorable was the couple sitting next to us having a fight (!)

Convenient but disappointing dinner

Walk-in on a weekday evening for a party of two. There were plenty of tables and booths available, so we were seated immediately. Nice atmosphere and appreciated the entirely vegan menu but the food quality was lacking. Gives diner vibes with Western-inspired food. Ordering was simple via iPad with an English menu.

Ordered the following:
- Avocado Teriyaki burger: very messy and hard to eat in one piece, odd texture of the patty, tastes mostly of mayo, simple roll for breading, fries that were included as a side were actually very good
- Tofu Fritters: heavily fried and oily
- Pancakes with Fruit: fluffy and light, tiny portion of syrup provided but the whipped cream was very tasty so that provided enough flavor

Truthfully, would have given 2 stars but the pancakes (and bonus fries) were actually quite good. But overall would not recommend this place, sorry to say

Full-Day Vegan Delight

A pleasant restaurant offering a fully vegan menu, open all day from breakfast to dinner. Ordering is simple, and the service is impressively fast. You can enjoy delicious starters, flavorful sandwiches, and indulgent desserts. A perfect spot for any time of the day (but nothing special).

Great burgers and fries

The food was delicious. I had the avocado teriyaki burger with fries and it it was terrific and filling. I ate everything and forgot to take a picture. I highly recommend it. The avocado blends well with the sauces and adds a fresh taste.

Pros: Taste, Price is average for vegan places here in Tokyo , Atmosphere is calm and serene

Cons: Water glasses are very small. , No o ion rings available

comfort food

it was really nice to eat here after a long day. i ordered the soy meat sandwich and fries, which is unfortunately all i had room for because they have some seriously appealing stuff on the menu. i want to come back and try the pancakes, matcha cream toast, or really everything else

Just okay

Had the Soy Meat Spicy Burger, Soy Cream Croquet, and the Strawberry and Amazake Smoothie. Food was nothing special, but I really enjoyed the smoothie.

Komeda Is Higashi-Ginza Store

Komeda, the popular Japanese franchise coffee shops that offers only vegan drinks and foods

But rest of Komeda which is everywhere in Japan are not so be careful



Amazing selection of plantbased milks for coffee, great vegan café foods selections

I wish there is more plant based Komeda in Japan!

Pros: nice spacious place with lots of greenery , tasty coffee and sweets

Delicious Exciting Options 🌱

I can’t believe I haven’t visited here sooner! It’s absolutely gorgeous with so many options to choose from, welcoming and a warm atmosphere, and lovely staff. It’s great to see a fully vegan Komeda coffee as this is a popular Japanese coffee chain.

It was so hard to decide with all the options! I actually forgot to take photos so they apologies for the half eaten photos 😂 but my goodness those soy fried Chk’n and the Katsu Sando was absolutely gorgeous. The pancake was super fluffy and almond base whip cream was delicious.

Pros: Loads of options! Can’t decide! , Lovely atmosphere , Delicious food

Breakfast!

I ordered a lot and the waitress teased me if it was enough, hah!

Got the pancakes, toast, then apparently a tea that came with more toast, and the salty soy yoghurt.

It was all quite excellent.

Happy bellies!

Good variety of food, big portion and everything taste good!
We ordered a burger (wh was bigger than palm size) and a soy cutlet sandwich and had to pack the leftovers home 😅. Hope Komeda opens more vegan outlets or provide vegan options at their other outlets too!

Pros: Long opening hours- great brekkie place, Big menu, Accessible location.

Eco-conscious vegan spot with Euro-Western influence

Pancakes, sandwiches, burgers, pizza-type dishes, but all with a slightly Japanese twist. You won’t find your typical Japanese cuisine here, but all the food here seems relatively healthy with a bit of European and Western influence. I especially love that the restaurant itself cares about its ecological impact. We got the vegan “pork” sandwich, croquettes, milkshakes and coffees. All good.

The best brunch experience so far

This place has it all - large menu with various food and drink combinations, fresh salads and smoothies, breakfast, lunch and dinner options, beautiful interior and incredibly friendly staff.

The soy katsu sando was by far the most delicious thing we’ve tried so far in Japanese restaurants. It was thick and crispy, but perfectly chewable. The same goes for their mixed-sandwich plate, which is served with a side of fresh salad (and salad dressing) and crispy fries. Also their toast, served as very soft and thick lightly toasted bread, paired beautifully with vegan cream cheese. Red fruit smoothie was very refreshing.

The pancakes were airy, soft and fluffy, topped with vegan whipped cream and fresh fruit, which paired well with their special blend of komeda coffee to round it all up.

10/10 experience and we will definetly visit again to try the rest of their menu.

One-of-a-kind vegan spot

Wonderful, laid-back cafe with an easy ordering system and retro feel. The menu features Japanese diner favorites that feel familiar to a Western audience. We visited several times and everything we got was delicious. We definitely ordered too much food (portions are big) but we always finished everything.

Pros: Open early, Delicious comfort food, Great atmosphere

Sumptuous grain salad, tofu fritters, iced chocolate

Plant based cafe - delicious! Had sumptuous grain salad, tofu fritters, and iced chocolate for lunch. Portions large, good produce. Crispy salad with nuts, soy, sliced veggies, nice sesame dressing. Tofu fritters are well done, crispy, tasty dressing. Many choices. Casual.

Pros: Selection , Produce , Taste

Absolutely phenomenal

I LOVED this place. The vibe was immaculate. Quiet jazz cafe in busy Tokyo. Large toast comes with all drinks, so beware! The sandwich was so good, the donut thing was fine, a bit much for breakfast. But mostly, I just really like the vibe and toast. Excited to go back. Great hours.

Pros: Best vibe you can find, Open early and late, everyday, Great food

Cons: Bathroom far and run down

The only vegan Komeida in Japan!

Komeida is one of the most “Japanesey” cafes in Japan, but the owner is quite progressive I think! This all-vegan version of the cafe is wholly unique and quite unprecedented! He also promotes EV ownership as some of the cafes have EV chargers (not this one slap bang in the middle of Ginza tho).

Everything on the menu is vegan and there are SO MANY choices!! This store knows that 99% of the customers are non Japanese, allowing you to order via a tablet completely in English.

The “bouncy pancakes” are made with rice flour and come with soy whipped cream and maple syrup. Very light and tasty!

I need to come back here 50 more times 😂

Pros: One of one. You need to go!, Spoilt for choice, Fully English menu

Cons: No negatives. Just go already!
