    We arrived on a Thursday at around 9:30 am. The 5 of us were sitted immediately with the note that we can have the table for an hour and a half. We got the meals within 10 minutes or less, Avocado toast, eggs Benedict, the granola bowl and the banana pancakes, was all very good, fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is chill and peaceful, though one can speak to the other freely, without it being frownd upon. I had the drip filter coffee from El Salvador and it was delicious. The Lattes we got also were great and served hot and on time. The service at the Cafe was very kind and thoughtful, even though the waitresses didn't know a lot of English, all of the points came across and the staff had signs in English to describe the ordering process. Plus there was a very detailed english menu that described the dishes and all of their ingredients. Guests were both locals and foreigners. Overall a great experience, Would highly recommend.

    •Food: Exceptional. We both got the half&half eggs Benedict (one toast has bacon, the other salmon). The egg and sauce were splendid. The salmon was absolutely delicious! The bacon was good, crispier than typical Japanese bacon, but still a bit thick and floppy in spots. (I'd say the bacon is better than other cafes here, but not "100% like home.") I would order it again, but dang the salmon was so tasty! Anyway, get the eggs Benedict!! •Coffee: Superb. There are not many Japanese cafes that prepare hand drip AND lattes well, usually it's one is good and the other is blah. When ordering a latte, you can choose light or dark roast, cow's or soy milk, and to add sugar or not (and maybe hot or cold). For hand drip, you can choose from a variety of beans (ranging from ¥600-800), and you can choose hot or cold. •System: Once you're seated, they'll explain the coffees of the day. Then you scan the QR code for the menu, it will go to Japanese or English depending on your phone's settings. Order on your phone. When finished, bring your QR code to the register to pay. •Ingredients & Care- You can watch them make everything by hand. The food and drinks are not fast, but they are prepared with great care to perfection. •Atmoshphere- They did a great job creating this hipster space. There are 2 terrace tables, dogs allowed; counter seating; and table seating. Unlike many other cafes in Tokyo, it does not feel cramped; they don't pack the tables too closely. If you call and make a reservation, you might get the best seat (like us)! Many cafes in Tokyo that "feel like abroad" really miss the mark with iffy food and have terrible service by uni students, but this place is the REAL DEAL. •Reservation: Phone only. •Accessibility: 2 steps at the entrance. None inside.

    Love the atmosphere, lots of space and still cozy at the same time. Coffee is great, I had the Ethiopia light roast- flavorful and sweet. Also tried their famous Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, absolutely delicious. The food came quickly after ordering through the QR code, very efficient with minimal interactions with the staff (who were great, don’t get me wrong). Great for both casual meetups and going alone.

    30 mins at Woodberry made my day. Great coffee. Very friendly barista and pleasant ambience. A stone’s throw away from Shibuya Cross this is such an oasis for one who wants to escape from the hustles. Will definitely come again. Arigatou Ikawa-san!

    Arrived at 1:30 on a Saturday, waited to be sat until 2:00, and food and drinks took about 25 minutes to arrive after being ordered! The food and drinks are really good and you can tell they put a lot of effort to make it good quality! The drink menu has many fun options to choose from and some seasonal items as well!

    What a passionate coffee shop! They care a lot on the bean variety. They had other drinks such as this amazing lime soda as well. The staff were very friendly. Electronic payment (paywave) works which is great.

    Very nice cafe & would totally come back again. Not many brunch places open from before 9am and this is your place to go. We arrived on a Friday morning before 9am and the place was already filled with foreigners. This isn’t your typical Japanese cafe and the menu is extensive both in drinks and food. Would also like to try their lunch next time although I don’t see myself getting bored with breakfast options either.

    Great coffee expertise. Also with English explanation if the right barista is on duty. It's a pleasure to watch the barista making different types of coffee. An enjoyable moment.

    Seriously one of my favorite coffee shops in Tokyo. I first discovered Woodberry in Yoga, and really liked the coffee and vibe there. I found this one and obviously wanted to try it, and it didn’t disappoint. The cheesecake was real nice. You gotta go check this place out.

    A nice place to hang outside of the crowded hustle and still stay in Shibuya. The coffee is fantastic and the servers do speak English. If you’re looking for good coffee this is definitely where you want to visit once. Apparently they also have cafe cocktails.

    Came here twice, both times were disappointing. First time got the Benedict, the eggs were overcooked and and the bread was stale and hard to chew. On the second time tried to order a sandwich without mustard as I’m allergic, but was told they can’t do it, even though it explicitly says on the menu that you can ask to make it without mustard or mayo. Ended up just getting a coffee, which also took over 30 minutes to prepare. Highly do not recommend.

    Came here 4 times during my one month stay in Tokyo. I think its just got that cafe vibe where you meet with friends. Acai bowl is quite good. I also had the avocados on toast which was nice with poached eggs. Coffee was also delicious, especially for Tokyo level. Weekends are busy so consider making a reservation.

    An absolutely beautiful coffee shop. The craftsmanship of the coffee and buddha bowl was exceptional. I tried a new orange latte and it was amazing - the flavours were unique and honestly one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The bowl was fresh, filling and well presented - and something that definitely quick started my day on a good note. Highly recommended.

    Best breaky in Tokyo by far! This cafe deserves 5 stars in my opinion. Such delicious avocado toast! There is a bit of a wait, we waited about 50 minutes but it was definitely worth it 🤍 Reminded me of Melbourne breakfast!

    This is one of the best coffee places I came to on a recent trip to Tokyo. This place is a 10-15 walk from super crowded Shibuya crossing. It’s a decent size for a cafe with 8-10 tables and additional sitting on the window and the bar. Plus couple of tables outside on the patio, which has a street view looking into a residential neighborhood. Talking about the food and coffee, I found it to be pretty decent. The avocado toast with poached egg and their bread was one of the best I have in Tokyo. For the coffee, I went for the dark roast of the day in cappuccino and it was worth. I also end up buying coffee beans from them. I went for Guatemala coffee with a fruity aroma and honey. The attendant there helped me select one based on my taste and I must say he was very knowledgeable. They also helped to grind the coffee and re-packaged it for me. For the grind I asked them for a Moka pot grind. I tried the coffee once I was back home and it is one of the best so far. The atmosphere inside was very charming with a mixture of locals and tourists. The coffee place is certainly worth visiting if you are in the Shibuya neighborhood.

    Great place to visit. The food is amazing and the coffee selection is great. They'll have something for you if you want a good coffee and some nice brunch.

  • 5/5 Sar-Shalom P. 10 months ago on Google
    Everyone enjoyed their meal, unique tastes and awesome coffee. There may be a line at the entrance, but it is worth the wait! Note that ordering at least one drink is mandatory.

  • 5/5 N C. 2 years ago on Google
    Everyone is so nice and welcoming. They speak English, which I was not expecting.

    A friend brought me to this coffee shop. We got there around 11am and there was a 30-minute wait. The wait was worth it because their coffees are incredible. I got a cortado of their Tanzania Mantuda beans and their Valencia latte. I’ve had Valencia lattes from other cafes and this one from Woodberry became one of my favorites. The chocolate slice was dry. I will probably order a different pastry next time. I would definitely come back to try their other coffees.

    Absolutely enjoyed the coffee here. The atmosphere is great, lovely interior. Would definitely come back to try more food :)

    My corner cafe as I call it . Opens early with great coffee and healthy food . Good team making it happen .

  • 2/5 Jared A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food and coffee but robotic, cold customer service. You can tell they just prioritize making money from people outside the area coming for brunch based on photos they saw on Instagram. Which is a shame because the yoga location is cool and has nice vibe, the owner could've made this one like that too. I once asked if they take reservations and they said "only for times of the day when we're not busy" lol, defeating the purpose. Once asked if I can have a cold brew since they have a cold brew cocktail on the menu and they said they don't know why but they can't offer that to me. Also despite having great coffee, it's definitely not the kind of shop where the staff wants to chat with customers about coffee flavors with the people working there, they just give you a card describing the beans they gave you. Getting takeout is the best way to still enjoy their good food/coffee and avoid the cold atmosphere and nonsense in the shop.

  • 4/5 Rory C. 8 months ago on Google
    Both the classic and superfood veggie plate breakfast options were both tasty and filling. For the price it would be nice if a regular latte was included as an option in the drink set.

  • 5/5 A F. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic coffee in an extremely nice atmosphere. The coffee here is amazing. One of the best brewed cups I've had in Tokyo. The roast their own beans here and have a variety of different beans for sale. The cafe itself is very nice. It has a modern yet cozy and comfortable feel. Seating outside is also very nice, although quite limited. It's pretty out of the way, being about a 15 minute walk south of Shibuya station, but well worth the time. 100% for any coffee lovers, go here.

  • 5/5 Akari Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this cafe! Has various options for foods and drinks🍴☕️ I had Americano (Guatemala) and Buddha salad bowl. They have variety of foods options and that makes you wanna come again. You can enjoy healthy options as well as to bit junky options too. Highly recommend! I also like the peaceful atmosphere and warm / kind staff.

  • 4/5 Claire B. 2 years ago on Google
    Only went here for take out coffee but was very impressed w the selection. I had the chai mocha w oat milk which cost nearly ¥1000…it was delicious but definitely not something I could justify ordering on the reg. As far as the regular coffee and tea offerings, I’d say for the price you’d be better off going someplace else.

  • 5/5 Esther L. 3 years ago on Google
    Been my all time favourite coffee place that’s absolute wonderful with great ambience just outside of the bustling Shibuya. There’s two table at terrace which is highly recommended when weather is breezy and sunny! They have table for two and four, suitable for groups. It is usually busy during weekends so you might have to wait for alittle while if you are heading for brunch. Coffee there is an amazing must-try with coffee alcohol drinks available on weekend afternoons it’s really a rare gem!

    Comparing to other specialty coffee shops, this place is average, but comparing to other cafes, the quality of food and service is good. If you want some really good coffee you should go to other place. If you want to enjoy some time with friends and food, it’s your choice. Also many non coffee options as tea etc.

  • 5/5 marc p. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee, excellent music and good food - just make sure you have enough time. My favorite spot for weekend breakfast. Everything is good, but I can especially recommend the grilled cheese sandwich and avocado toast. The coffee is great too. As a music geek, I love the eclectic soundtracks that included pretty much everything, making for a unique, cool atmosphere. The place is always busy, so getting their close to opening time is a good bet if you're looking to get seats straight away. In my experience, this is a place that takes it time with coffee and food. I mean that in a good way, but be aware that you're likely going to have to wait a while after ordering. I love that, but it may not be your thing.

  • 3/5 Сергей �. 1 year ago on Google
    Pancakes were not tasty. the dough was like bread and very dry. Coffee was very cold and without coffee taste itself (only milk flavor). However, the dishes were quite beautiful. Very long waiting for food (about 1 hour after order)

  • 5/5 Cyril C. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite cafe in Tokyo ☕️ There are a great selection of coffee, and a large choice of vegan food 🌱 It’s really crowded so you might have to wait but it worth it 👍🏼

  • 5/5 Lilian N L. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed the dark roast here and Valencia latte. Always love an orange-coffee combi and the cup I had here was delicious! Great cafe for visitors that prefer English speaking service staff. Note- there’s a two hour dining limit, sounds fair to me!

  • 5/5 James E. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast and brunch with great service! The menu is super easy to use and translates well to English. The staff knows some too. The coffee selections are delicious and unique, and they sell whole brand and hojicha too. Highly recommend!
