Well composed food, relaxing vibes.

We had the salad (as pictured) and a vegan burger.
The salad was really great, every item in the salad had a distinct flavour. Everything is well labelled as vegan and they have multiple milk options. Really chill vibe.

Pros: Great for a chill lunch , English labelling

Cons: Well they have meat options, but it’s not a deal b

Good and convenient, but not exciting

I eat here sometimes when I am in the area, as it is right on the big intersection with the Tokyu Plaza. The food isn't too expensive, but also not really cheap considering the portion sizes. The taste is always good, but a little bland. At least it's usually fairly empty (I avoid the area on weekends, so your experience might be different!) and I've never had any issues.

better than expected

I finally stopped in this place a few weeks ago and it was better than expected. The vegan plates were sold out but they had the fruit smoothies, soymilk tapioca tea, and lots of magazines and materials about veganism, hiking,etc. (mostly in Japanese but some English), with some cool hammock seats as well. Was fine to drink something while using those seats as long as you were careful. Very relaxing. I recommend it if you don't have a lot of time in Harajuku and you just need a short break. They have a whole other floor of seats too, I believe. Would be even better if they labeled their vegan drinks

Edit: I went back and tried the vegan burger. It's very small, so for a snack, not a meal, but I enjoyed it. Would be even nicer if it came with a side.

Pros: Convenient location, Cool, stylish interior. And hammock chairs!

Cons: Vegan drinks not labeled, Vegan food sells out fast

It's okay to sit in the hammock chairs while drinking a beverage if you are careful at Brook's Green Cafe in Tokyo

Good vegan options

I had the bento box and a green smoothie. Small portions but that’s Tokyo for you

Not As Great As I Expected

I didn't have a smoothie when I went--maybe the smoothies are great, but in terms of non-smoothie food, there were only two vegan options. I chose the veggie burger (tofu-based), which honestly was a little bland and pretty small. The bento box might be better and more filling.

Pros: Quick Service, Friendly Staff

Cons: Bland Food, Limited Options

Nice food. Convenient location

I had the pasta and the vegan burger. Both were good. Together it makes a meal. If you like a light meal the pasta is enough. For a snack take the burger😄

Pros: Fresh food, Vegan options

Cons: Little bit pricey but it’s Japan so Ok

Fresh, tasty, simple

We got two vegan burgers, a vegan bento box, and coffees with soy milk. The vegan bento seemed to be sold out when we arrived (you select them from a fridge before you go up to pay), but the staff kindly informed us they could prepare one in about five minutes. Everything was simple, fresh and tasty. Great use of lotus root.

Pros: Fresh, healthy options, Friendly staff, Decent coffee

Cons: Burgers were a bit small

Ordering is confusing

The location is great and the place has plenty of seating. It’s a deli style grab and go but they don’t explain that. I grabbed and paid for a vegan burger but the staff gave it away to another customer. Because of the grab and go style use it causes confusion for customers and staff. I would see staff go to the refrigerated counter and grab food for people who ordered. Overall the food was ok but the location and seating are the pluses of this restaurant especially on a hot day in Tokyo

Pros: Seating, Location

Cons: Not inventory vegan products

Light lunch

Good for healthier options and a light lunch. They use wooden cutlery, it would be nice if they use paper straws too!!

Pros: Refreshing smoothie

Cons: Plastic straws :-(

Variety of clearly labeled vegan options

If you’re in the area and need a snack, this is a quick place to find a cheap veggie burger. It’s tastes pretty good for the price and it’s awesome they have clearly labeled their menus. I’ll definitely have to come back to check out their bento.

Vegan Options

A very beautiful cafe with lots of plants and nice lighting. Lots of places to sit and situated right on the corner of the street right across from Tokyo plaza. Very friendly staff and vegan burger available. I do think I should have double checked they had my order correct though as I was given the wrong smoothie. My friend had no problem though and loved the food!

Pros: Vegan options available , A range of healthy foods, Very beautiful interior with lots of plants

Smoothies are great!

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and very earthy decor. I ordered a smoothie and the vegan burger. The smoothie was fantastic. Unfortunately the burger was underwhelming. Very basic patty that unfortunately fell apart when trying to eat it. Overall I think their top items may be drinks and pasta as that is what I saw most patrons consuming.

Pros: nice staff (English okay), Vegan and gluten free options

Cons: a little pricey, vegan burger patty subpar

Cute place with a lot of options

Cute cafe with a lot of seating. I got the vegan burger and a smoothie. The smoothie was great but the burger was meh and kept falling apart. I’m spoiled by ripple’s vegan burgers. I’ll try something else next time.

Pros: Wide selection of vegan options , Lots of seating , Great location

Cons: Vegan burger is quick to fall apart

Tasty!

I like this place. It’s in a great location if you’re exploring Harajuku and want a light quick snack. There is a vegan burger and a beauty salad and lots of really delicious smoothies. It’s really easy to find-opposite Tokyu Plaza. There is plenty of seating.

Pros: Really good smoothies , Fresh ingredients

Fantastic and delicious

Had the vegan burger and berry smoothie, absolutely delicious. Easy to locate, and a great option if you’re in the area. A bit expensive, but the whole of vibe of the place is great, and there are a lot of plants inside, giving it a really calming atmosphere.

Nice

Had the Vegan bento on two separate occasions. One I called in early for take out. Lots of non-dairy milk options for their drinks. Overall enjoyed the atmosphere and fresh taste.

Their mushroom sandwich was really good, like 700 yen, could have been a bit bigger.

A little gem

Well presented, attractive food. Oh yeah and tasty!! Not a massive amount of options but I liked this - the menu is straightforward. Vegetation, be it real or fake, adorns the walls and decor of the place. Chilled out vibes from bird song and funky seats make this place a winner!

Pros: Flavourful food , Clean and well presented all around , Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Small menu (food-wise) but this is a minor gripe. , Not fully vegetarian/vegan , Can’t think of anything else currently.
