Café Slow — Restaurant in Tokyo

The cafe has outdoor seating, as well as the main indoor cafe space. It’s spacious, and nicely laid out with small shopping spaces, a kiddies’ corner, an exhibition room, as well as an attached bakery. I got the Slow Plate with a ginger ale, and the tofu ice-cream with a hot coffee for dessert. The portions didn’t seem all that big, but it was filling. The plate was good, although nothing that made me go wow, whereas the ginger ale and tofu ice-cream have inspired me to look into making my own. The ale was refreshing, spicy and not too sweet, a perfect summer drink. The tofu ice-cream tasted very much like tofu, and had the right amount of sweetness. The texture was interesting, crumbly and pebbling when cold, but melts into something smooth and creamy. The best part of the whole meal, however, was the Coffee of the Day. I might stop by for just coffee and dessert next time. The food menu is limited, but the quality of each dish shows. And it’s nice that they cater for both meat-eaters and vegans. My meal cost 3000yen, which to me, is a little pricey for a lunch with these portion sizes. I enjoyed my meal there, though, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Points that I hope the cafe will improve on are: The music, the volume made conversation a little difficult, to the point where we had to repeat ourselves and make an effort to speak louder than usual. The aircon/ventilation, the inside of the cafe is noticeably cooler than outside, but it did feel a little stifling, especially during the meal. The waiting system during peak hours is not efficient, customers would put their name on the waiting list, then wander around shopping and looking at the exhibition. A waitress in turn would go looking for them, when their table was ready. A customer could potentially be skipped at...

There is a story to be told about Cafe Slow. This place features a whole vegan eco-system in their space.

Drinks and Food are organic. They offer a wide choice of craft beers, (non)-alcohol cocktails, Lemonades, unroasted coffee beans for the connoiseurs, teas, breads, hand made products.

The meals come with either verbal or written explanation, to give you more details what you are about to eat.

In the shop area you can even choose, pick & mix the ingredients yourself (to be taken home to prepare your meal).

This venue and eco-system is an experience in itself. It caters for the health conscious and conossoirs of all types.

Everything is crafted on a high level and that includes the beers as well !

There is also a small exhibition area, Saturday night life concerts, the Linkaran bakery next door, an outside area and an eco market.

We love this place. It is located in the west of Tokyo and features its...

Vegan...Vegan...Vegan!!!!!! This meal was finger licking GREAT! Although the buffet was limited to one serving, it was enough to keep me satisfied and full. All organic foods, no preservatives or refined sugars. And the prices are very reasonable, an adult plate is about 1,400 yen and a child's plate is about 1,000. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the ambience is very natural and quaint, and that the menu options are limited, which is standard...
