Worth multiple visits

The desserts here are amazing - everything is very sweet and the cream is phenomenal.

Lots of options here for those looking for a dessert so definitely worth multiple visits (Three of us came here four times in a week). Also, everything is extremely reasonably price given the food quality and the location.

Almond Milk Soft-serve!?

I was floored to find this place had almond milk based ice cream. I can’t have soy so my options are few and far between. Great smooth texture and flavor, cheap to add to a meal (only 300yen as a set!). The vegan curry was nice too. I would visit again.

Image line

We were sent away from the door to wait outside even though all the time we waites there were tables inside empty. They were creating an image line in front. Had I been local I would have turned away, but I needed to try myself if the food was worth the hype. I took the dragon mango parfait and the whipped cream was excellent. Otherwise maybe a little boring, and see through bits of jelly were not my thing. Husband ate orange crepe and I liked that better. I went again (no line in front) to try the vegan soft ice since it is _years_ since I last ate one! That was excellent! Points for multiple options, minus for the wait & taste.

Pros: Lotes of options

Cons: Image line

Perfect

I had a 'Berry&Berry crêpe brûlée'.
Excellent and tasty. Finally a normal portion size in Tokyo.
First time I didn't feel like a giant above my plate...
It's nice to eat a vegan crêpe in Tokyo.
Easy to find in lumine 1, 6th floor near shinjuku station (east exit, not quite sure)

Pros: Choices, Staff

Cons: None

Phenomenal parfait

Incredible parfait, we savoured every bite and didn’t want it to end. But lost point as they made us wait in line for 45 mins even though there were plenty of empty tables inside the whole time which we could see, which is a really irritating waste of people’s time to try and create fake hype they don’t need to. :(

Bury Me Here

I’d been eyeing this place off in the lead up to my recent Tokyo trip and it did not disappoint!

I was pleasantly surprised by the Vegan Vegetable Curry and Truffled Potato Fries (they’re vegan, I checked) but it’s all about the dessert! I had the Strawberry BonBon; a parfait filled with jelly, granola (?), cream, strawberries and AMAZING vegan soft serve, finished off with a fairy floss rim!

Will definitely be back (and dreaming of this place forever.)

Pros: Wild selection of vegan desserts , Cute atmosphere, Super convenient location

Cons: More vegan savoury options would be great

So good!

On the upper floor of the Lumine 1 building (not to be confused with the other Lumine stores around the south Shinjuku exits), this place is so good we ate there two days in a row and the waiter remembered us. 😅
The dessert set is to die for. It comes with a berry sundae, a small crepe with whipped “creme” and fruit, and a slice of Mont Blanc cake. The real star in my mind is the raw soy chocolate cake. It was the best chocolate cake I can remember eating in a very kong time. Moist, richly flavored, the perfect balance of sweetness. Heaven.
Every time I start craving something sweet, I have to calculate how far we are from Shinjuku. My omnivorous friend enjoyed the salmon bowl she got and I ate the beet soup from her meal, but the almond milk ice cream and dairy free desserts are the real star here. The atmosphere is nice and yet casual, the staff are attentive enough without being intrusive.

Pros: Amazing desserts, Wide selection of desserts without dairy, Spacious dining room

Cons: Can be tricky to find, Not a fully vegan menu, only desserts

Incredible Vegan Desserts

Delicious vegan parfaits in a country where you can hardly ever find any dessert without cow’s milk. I had the seasonal matcha and strawberry parfait. It was sooo good! I’m really looking forward to going back and trying all of their desserts! I would give this cafe five stars for the vegan sweets, if they weren’t serving other non-vegan dishes.

Edit: Went again and had the Dragon Mango parfait and the Mont Blanc parfait. Both of them were really good!

Pros: Super delicious

Cons: Not a fully vegan cafe, A bit expensive

Incredible vegan parfait

There are no words to describe how satisfying it is to have a VEGAN parfait in Japan!! Super reasonably priced - you get a big serve for what you pay. I got the matcha azuki bean parfait, and my friend got the chocolate mocha banana. Both incredibly delicious and well presented. Nice service too. I want to try everything on the menu!

Pros: Delicious , Generous serve , Good vibe

DELICIOUS vegan desserts

I love this cafe! It is spacious so no/ minimal wait time. The desserts are vegan and delicious, a pretty generous portion size too and taste sweet. I haven’t had desserts like theirs for years. The parfaits are the best. Definitely a treat. Coffee is good too!

Pros: Delicious , Indulgent , Spacious cafe

Sweeeeeeet!

I'm more a savory than sweet guy, but I had been hearing about this 100% vegan desert place for a while, so I had to check it out!
It did not disappoint: the desert plate I ordered was very good, and not too expensive for what you get.

Highly recommended, and looking forward to more vegan options in the future maybe?

Pros: All vegan deserts!, Yummy :)

Cons: Can be quite crowded, so waiting time can be long., Vegan savory options would be good.

Vegan Dessert Heaven!

Read my full review here: https://itravelforveganfood.com/wired-bonbon/

Wired Bonbon recently (2018 Dec) changed their whole dessert menu to all vegan!

They serve tall, instagram-worthy ice cream parfait, and also tiramisu, crepes, chocolate cakes and more. The dessert menu is quite extensive and everything is vegan.

The vegan matcha parfait is ridiculously good! Layers upon layers of delicious ingredients. From matcha jelly and mochi, to azuki red bean mixed with fresh peach, it’s heavenly if you have a sweet tooth.

The food menu, however, is not vegan as they serve meat. But they have a vegetable vegan curry available. Hopefully more vegan options will be added in the future.

Wired Bonbon is in Shinjuku and opens until late (10:30pm). It’s a beautiful cafe with pastel blue color mixed with white color and wooden accent. A great place to have some vegan desserts after a meal.

Pros: All vegan dessert menu, Delectable and photo worthy desserts

Cons: Food menu is not vegan

Fully Vegan Dessert Menu

Come here for vegan soft serve ice cream & fancy parfait desserts unlike any I’ve seen before. The ice cream is great! Waitress we had is also vegan and she said ice cream cone is also vegan, along with all desserts.

Beet minestrone soup and Okinawa taco rice were also excellent.

At Shinjuku Station, In Lumine 1 Mall, 6th floor.

Pros: All-vegan desserts, Okinawa taco rice is great, Nice atmosphere

♡UPDATE(12/18/2018)♡: All desserts are now vegan!

Beautiful interior, chic jazz piano, and—the best part— vegan food! No, not just salads which you have to take the cheese off of! No, my chums, really nice and affordable vegan food. There isn’t a whole lot of choice for “food” food, but there is certainly enough to please. I have not tried the desserts, but the curry ( called ヴィーガン野菜カレー、ヴィーガンやさいカレー、Vegan vegetable curry) is perfect. A little bit spicy just at the edges of the typically sweet Japanese variety of curries. Next time I come here you better believe that I’m getting a parfait!

Excellent desserts but double check for allergen symbols

We really loved the atmosphere and excellent vegan dessert options of this place. A bit hard to find on the 6th floor. As other people have said, it’s good to double check the menu as the cones are not vegan. The allergen info below will show egg, milk etc.

WARNING! PLEASE READ!

Myself and my partner went here three times and on our third visit realised that the "Vegan Soft Cream" which is what they call the soft serve on the menu contained milk and eggs. The ice cream itself is vegan but the waffle cone isn't and we had already had it twice. There is an allergen key on the menu so we checked a few things and thought it was all ok but the one thing on the menu titled "Vegan" wasn't actually vegan so be careful. It made us doubt the other things on the menu after this.

Pros: Near Shinjuku Station, Tasted good , A few vegan options

Cons: Check menu with google translate , Waffle cone not vegan , Mislabelled vegan items

Untrustworthy!!!! Be aware!!!!!

This place has an item called "vegan soft serve" on their menu that ISN'T vegan! Only the ice cream is vegan, NOT the cone. Do not trust this place.

Great dessert and great dinner

This is a very cute little cafe inside of a mall. We ordered the dish with three desserts. It included an ice cream dish with fruit, a crepe with whipped cream and bananas, cheesecake, and orange slices with a mango sauce. The ice cream was by far the best. The crepe and the cheesecake were kind of bland to be honest, though they were clearly made with care and looked amazing. If we were to go a second time, I would definitely stick with their ice cream.

EDIT: I wrote this review after one visit, and originally I gave them 3 stars. I have since gone back TWICE and I was SO WRONG with my first opinion. I've now tried their French toast and their vegan curry, and one of their crazy ice cream sundaes. This place is INCREDIBLE. Their French toast was one of the best vegan baked goods I've ever had. Their curry was fantastic. I will be going back several more times while I'm here! Sorry for doubting you Wired Bonbon!

Must visit if you like sweets!

A restaurant known for its desserts but they serve some selections of food as well! Vegan has only one option though, and that’s the Vegan Vegetable Curry I had!

Though not a vegan shop, they actually serve a wide variety of vegan desserts. I had the soy tiramisu, and it was really creamy •w•

Pros: Lots of vegan desserts!!! Om nom nom, Right at Shinjuku station, so really convenient!, Good place to eat with non-vegans

Cons: Slightly on the pricey side but no regrets, Only one vegan selection for meal

Sweet and delicious!

I had to wait quite a while before I could get a seat, but I ordered the vegan dessert plate, which was delicious! And I also got the French toast, also super good! It’s pricey but it’d be nice to come here with someone else who loves sweets.

Pros: Delicious desserts, Awesome presentation

Cons: Expensive, Long wait outside

vegan sweets

I hat a curry which was very good, but most of it, the dessert was heavenly... At the end of my trip in japan, I was craving for sugar, ice cream and cakes, and this place fullfilled my wishes!
Also, it was incredibly expensive.... I went there because I really wanted to eat vegan sweets, but if you travel on a budget, it's just not affordable.
It was more like a gift I made to myself....

Pros: So rare to find big, delicious vegan dessert....

Cons: Very expensive
