🍞 Breakfast Menu

There are mainly two breakfast options:

VIRON Breakfast (around ¥2,200)
Tartine Set (around ¥1,760)

I ordered the VIRON Breakfast, which includes:

2 types of bread (including baguette)
1 pastry (you can choose)
Assorted jams, honey, and chocolate spread
Coffee or tea

👉 Simple but very high quality

✨ My Experience

The baguette was the highlight.

Crispy on the outside
Soft and chewy inside
Rich wheat flavor

When paired with butter and jam, it becomes an amazing breakfast experience.

The pastry (pain au chocolat) was also excellent — flaky, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced.

👉 If you love bread, you’ll love this place.

⏳ Queue & Waiting Time

This place is popular, so expect some waiting.

Estimated waiting time:

Weekdays: 0–20 minutes
Weekends: 20–40 minutes
Peak time: around 10:00 AM

👉 Turnover is fairly quick, so the line usually moves fast.

📝 How the Queue Works

Here’s how it works:

A waiting list is placed outside before opening
Write your name on the list
Wait nearby until your name is called

👉 Tip: Put your name down early, then come back

🕒 Best Time to Visit

To avoid crowds:

Right at 9:00 AM (opening time)
Around 10:30 AM (after peak)

👉 Avoid 10:00–10:30 if possible

☕ Atmosphere

The café is calm and cozy, especially for a busy area like Shibuya.

Good for solo travelers
Great for a relaxed morning
Also nice for chatting with friends

👉 A peaceful start to your day in Tokyo

🥡 Takeaway Option

If you don’t want to wait:

👉 You can buy bread from the bakery (1st floor) and take it out

This is a great alternative during busy hours.
