A Girl's Guide to Tokyo Brunch | Minato: Minami-Aoyama Edition💼🛍️🥖

This time I want to share "A Girl's Guide to Tokyo Brunch | Minato: Minami-Aoyama Edition"

As a brunch lover, I always line up a few brunch spots every time I go to Tokyo🥖

Tokyo's brunch places just keep getting better, each with its own character. I never get tired of them😍

🎄 i2 Cafe | A leafy brunch spot tucked away in a side street

It's in a little alley and the outside is surrounded by tons of greenery, so it's actually pretty easy to miss😂

That day there were 2–3 groups of Western customers inside, so it seems to be fairly well known online.

There aren't many seats, so you have to wait in line on site. I waited about 20 minutes

There are lots of brunch options, including classic breakfast plates, toast, pancakes and more,

My friend and I ordered one sweet and one savory to share:

💐生ハムとアボカドディップ オープントースト (prosciutto and avocado open toast)

💐スタンダード フレンチトースト (classic maple French toast)

👉 The toast was seriously amazing, one of the best I've ever had in my life!

Prosciutto + avocado is a match made in heaven.

The French toast is very sweet, anyone with a sweet tooth will love it🍯 --- 🎄 Crisscross | Classic brunch with huge portions

A lot of people probably know this one. It's a famous brunch spot in Minami-Aoyama, so be sure to get in line early!

It's Western style and the portions are truly huge, so keep calm when ordering (we lost control xd)

My friend and I shared two platters and sat outside, which is lovely when the weather's nice

As a French fry addict I have to say👉 their fries are amazing! The pancakes are classic big American-style pancakes with bacon and eggs, solid overall💖 A great place to meet up with friends and go shopping right after🫣 --- 🎄 Lohasbeans coffee | Avocado lovers' paradise (closed) I only found out while putting this together today that it has closed QQ

I was shopping in Minami-Aoyama with a Japanese friend at the time, and we found this American-style café by scrolling through Japanese food accounts.

Their most famous dish is avocado toast (I absolutely love avocado🥑)

The plating is clean and pretty, exactly what I love. The food was great too. My Japanese friend took a bite and immediately said: "ええー！うまい！" It's a real shame it's closed. I hope I'll find a similar place someday.

✨ Bonus pick | Neel (near Harajuku)

Finally, one more place I love: Neel

The cute pear sign is super memorable. I've been about three or four times and loved it every time.

The coffee is great and the signature sandwiches and crepes are excellent. Having a dessert crepe after something savory is pure bliss🍐☕️

✨ Summary The Minami-Aoyama, Harajuku and Omotesando area has so many beautiful brunch spots and cafés☕️

Every time I go back to Tokyo I end up exclaiming, "Another new place!"

I hope this gives you some ideas for exploring Tokyo cafés with friends～
