Literally amazing!

I was craving some veg since I had been eating mostly onigiri and ramen the past few days. I was worried I would receive your stereotypical pretty yet tasteless salad but I was so wrong!! Each vegetable had its own unique delicious flavor and I couldn’t stop jumping around the plate trying new things / returning to my favs. The only thing I didn’t like was the two small grey cubes that were part of the dish. The umami/fishy flavor was super strong and the texture wasn’t doing it for me. That was one small part of the dozens of amazing things on the plate though so I really felt like I got my money’s worth regardless. I left feeling pleasantly full and grabbed a few muffins on my way out for a snack. I got the maple banana and the orange muffins; they were amAZINGGGG. Just be sure to ask which muffins are vegan there might be 1-2 options of of the dozen there that has dairy.

Pros: Many unique flavors, Loads of options for muffins, Reasonable price

Try the muffins!!!

Wish I could give this place five stars. Didn't see any meat here. Staff pointed out what was not fully vegan (a couple of the muffins, that's all). Great vegan set meal near Ueno Park. Good place to get your veggies in Tokyo. Did not see any meat available on the menu. The muffins are actually so amazing, had one with my meal and bought more to have later. Sells some healthy snacks and such too, didn't check that it's all vegan but some definitely is.

Pros: Best muffins I've ever had, Healthy vegetable plate hard to find in Tokyo

Don't mix up Guruatsu (cafe) with Guruatsu STAND (take away only)

They have two shops in the Ueno area, and this one with eat-in space is called "Guruatsu" and their address is 4-21-6 Higashi Ueno, Taito-ku (the other one is a take away store called "Guruatsu STAND": 3-8-4 Matsugaya, Taito-ku, 6-min walk from the cafe).

Their lunch and lunch box are always vegan, and most of the muffins and scones are also vegan, but some chocolate may contain dairy, so ask staff when you order muffins and scones with chocolate or simply avoid them.

We ordered Good Meal Plate B with a soup for 1450 yen (1550 yen on Saturdays and Holidays), but they also serve Meal plate A without a soup (Weekdays 1340 yen and Saturdays & Holidays 1440 yen).
The lunch menu changes everyday according to seasons and daily vegetables, which is a good part of this cafe.

The muffins and scones taste even better when heated up, so use a toaster oven in the back right side.

Both "Guruatsu" and "Guruatsu STAND" are sometimes closed for events, so check their Instagram before going.

Best vegan muffins ever

They have like 20 flavours, all vegan except one which was vegetarian (white choc). The berries with cheese was from another planet, I always distrust vegan cheese flavour in dessert but this one was more like a yogurt. You need to try it.

Fantastic!

Fantastic meal and experience! We arrived just before closing time and they prepared us a set menu for a reduced price, the ladies working there were so sweet! We had the vegan set menus, organic soy milk latte and the daily vegan muffins and everything was delicious! Everything felt so home cooked and healthy, and the food was very filling without being heavy. Would definitely recommend the muffins and the set menu.
Restaurant also has a shelf with vegan goodies and baking ingredients.

Pros: Free water for guests, good price , Home cooked, healthy meal

Okay option for take out baked goods

It was only take out when I went recently and didn't look like they have eat in options at all. Maybe I'm wrong.

All baked goods are vegan!

The organic chocolate muffin was decent. I didn't like the rubard yogurt muffin at all. Worth a try if you're nearby.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Take out only perhaps , So so

Lovely setting and even lovelier staff

Would rate 5 stars if I could, this cafe was exactly what my body needed, with a wholesome and nourishing meal that left me truly satisfied. The staff were knowledgeable on which options were vegan and were helpful in giving some great recommendations. I must advise that you go ahead and get yourself some takeaway muffins as well, the blueberry vegan cheese muffin made my entire day.

Pros: Knowledgeable staff, Good value for money, Wide selection of products

Vegan cakes!!

Half of the cakes are vegan!!
The staff were also so lovely and the lady there showed all of the vegan options!
In the photo you can see everything with the label is vegan, everything with the labels facing down wasn't ?

Pros: friendly staff, lots of options

Cons: located a bit far
