BROOKS GREENLIT CAFE
Brooks Greenlit Cafe is a fully plant based cafe in Minami Aoyama that opened on December 25, 2024. It's produced by Oizumi Koujou, the company behind _SHIP Kombucha, and the name plays on "greenlit" as both a go signal and slang for something being great. The cafe sits in a quiet residential pocket facing Aoyama Park, with high ceilings, natural light, and a polished, airy interior that feels more like a wellness concept space than a typical Tokyo cafe. The menu covers plant based sandwiches (including a "Not Egg" egg salad and a soy based tuna), salad bowls, acai bowls, cold pressed juices, original smoothies, organic kombucha on tap, and coffee. The space also hosts community events, wellness workshops, and participatory exhibitions, positioning itself as a plant based hub for the neighborhood.
Good to Know:
- The "Not Egg" sandwich uses tofu, capers, paprika, and vegan mayo to replicate an egg salad. The "Brooks Club" tuna sandwich uses soy based tuna with avocado, tomato, and genovese sauce. Sandwiches run around ¥1,280.
- _SHIP Kombucha is brewed in house and available on tap. Cold pressed juices and smoothies round out the drinks menu alongside coffee.
