Vege ++ Coffee

Tucked slightly back from the streets of Waseda, Vege ++ Coffee welcomes diners with nourishing dishes centered on vegetables and legumes, alongside individually brewed coffee and desserts. The signature Vege-to Taco Rice brings together spiced soy mince, a generous portion of crisp raw vegetables, and chewy fermented brown rice, delivering a satisfying meal that finishes clean and light. Options like the Fermented Brown Rice Plate—featuring a main dish, two sides, a salad, and soup—incorporate seasonal produce and fermented elements, making it an ideal lunch when you crave something restorative.

Pudding Topped with Organic Ice Cream and a Varied Drink Selection

After the meal, the well-curated sweet and drink menus offer plenty of reasons to linger. The Custard Pudding with Organic Ice Cream features a gently firm, smooth custard crowned with a scoop of organic ice cream; diners can savor its initial rich creaminess before pouring over the accompanying sauce to reveal a whole new profile. Careful details extend across the baked goods as well, from a deep, satisfying Daily Vegan Dessert crafted entirely from plant-based ingredients to an herbal shortbread balancing savory herbs and rich butter. Coffee pairings include a Daily Single Origin and seasonal blends highlighting distinct roast profiles, as well as a brown sugar latte pairing espresso with mellow kokuto sweetness—with flexible options to swap in soy milk or oat milk.

A Dog-Friendly Terrace and a Calming, Unhurried Atmosphere

Retaining the tranquil warmth of a traditional Japanese home, the interior offers indoor table seating and an open-air terrace, with dogs welcome both inside and out. Time passes gently here, whether you pause on the terrace to catch the breeze mid-walk or settle into a quiet indoor seat with a book or a bit of work. With takeout available for select items and advance reservations accepted, it is an easy cafe to enjoy at your own rhythm, from everyday meals to a relaxed weekend teatime.
