Great conversation and comfort vegetarian food

Apparently locals come here to practice their English, so there were a lot of people interested in speaking with us as it was obviously our language of preference. We had the nachos, fries, and falafel. Plenty of food for 2 adults and one kid. Oh and they have a small selection of games like Taboo and Uno. Helped keep our 19 year old entertained and a friend of the staff joined us!

Good vegetarian but poor vegan

The atmosphere is nice enough and the staff is very nice. They have tons of vegetarian options but unfortunately hardly any vegan ones. All the curries are vegan (three) and then the risotto which is just rice heated up in tomatoes. when asked if the onion rings were vegan they did not know and asked the chef, turns out he did not know either. Very pricey for the quantity.

Pros: Lots of vegetarian options, Very nice staff

Cons: Few vegan options, Very pricey

Felt like home!

Such an awesome atmosphere to walk into, immediately I felt laid back and at ease because of the music and the decor. The food was great, a bit overpriced for the serving size but the service was quick and I had a great experience

Pros: All vegan/vego , So homey, English speaking staff

Cons: Bit pricey

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our cafe, we really appreciate it as it always helps us to improve our customer service and food.

At Cafe Byron Bay we always try to use organic ingredients for all our vegan and vegetarian dishes, at the same time we try to buy local products as much as we can, in order to support the small business around our area. Perhaps that's the main reason why you found some of our dishes a bit pricey compared to other restaurants in Japan. We will try to adjust our prices when we change our menu in the near future. So don't forget to come to visit us again next time you are in Tokyo.

All the best,

Es un café muy acogedor, donde aparte de ofrecer practicar el inglés, tienen una carta bastante completa con opciones veganas y vegetarianas.
Los platos son bastante grandes y muy ricos.

Muchas Gracias por visitar nuestro cafe, y gracias por escribir un buen review.

En efecto, uno de los principales propositos de nuestro cafe es proporcionar un lugar en el cual nuestros clientes puedan practicar un poco de ingles mientres comen un delicioso plato vegetariano o vegano.

There are not so many vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Tokyo, so we always try to provide a menu that will satisfy all of our guests that aren't interested in meat. Thank you so much for enjoying some of our organic dishes and coffee when you visited us.

At Cafe Byron Bay we always try to engage all of our local guests with travelers, so they both can have a good time together, so we are glad to hear that you had a good time even though you came alone to our cafe.

First time here

I came here to grab a healthy meal after a week’s worth of eating sodium and oil heavy foods. To my pleasant surprise, there was bar seating where it was just a bunch of locals and the English speaking staff (who were from America, Mexico, and Japan). I ended up staying for 2 hours just to chat. It was a super fun experience and the taco rice was delicious!

Pros: Taco rice, Meet locals, Awesome staff

Cons: Pricy drinks

Nice chill spot

I got the curry of the week, which was discounted and happened to be vegan. The curry was delicious and very filling, including rice and salad for around 1500 yen. The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was chill! Handy to find a vegan place open late at night too.

Western oasis in a foreign world

Cafe Byron Bay was a pleasant experience with nice atmosphere and friendly English speaking staff. Lots of food and drink options on the menu (vegetarian and vegan), we had a curry and the risotto and was happy with both. Looks like a backpacker hangout place so if you're looking for other people to connect with this just might be your place.

Pros: Good variety on the menu, Nice music

Awesome place

Went here with a friend for a quick drink and ended up staying till close. This place has an awesome atmosphere with great staff who all speak good English. Met lots of local regulars and quickly became friends.

I think the pricing is reasonable for drinks, I only had a peanut butter sandwich for food so can't fully comment on the menu but it was a pretty good peanut butter sandwich.

There are meat options on the menu but there are many vegetarian options and also at least two or three vegan options I recall seeing so likely they have updated the menu.

Definitely would come back here again, recommend it to anyone looking to relax and have a good conversation with some chill people =)

Pros: Friendly staff, Good atmosphere , Reasonable pricing

Friendly place for locals and foreigners alike

I need to balance this out... the previous review was unfortunate, I'm sorry that person maybe had a bad experience, but I go there regularly, so I think I have a better idea of how this place runs...

This is one of my favourite places in Tokyo, staff are always very kind, and the idea of the place is to have a friendly English speaking environment for locals to mix with foreigners without any social pressure, and I made a lot of new friends there...

As far as the food and the philosophy, it's not solely for vegetarians, but even the non-vege products are sourced locally and they use as many organic ingredients as they can, so I find it hard to believe that anyone was served any form of convenience store food.

I am vegan, and we can always discuss a food item and where it came from before eating it, there's no problem there.

The main reason I love this place is because of the people, the staff, and the regular guests, and how this atmosphere happily allows any new visitor to the cafe to join in the conversation and feel welcome.

And of course, the owner, Noah, is one of the kindest people in the world, and made me feel welcome in Tokyo right from the beginning :)

Pros: Friendly staff, Good conversation, Changing menu with variety

Cons: HappyCow wont let me give a 5 star rating :/
