Buvette Tokyo

American diner. Rushed service and Rude!!! Tastes so bad!!! Very bland, unseasoned food!!! They have breakfast, lunch and brunch menus. Popular. Queuing outside. Luckily we were there around 10.40am and the queue was not so long. After a short wait of 10 mins, we were seated. Not great dining experience. Service is a little rushed. Some of the staff are aggressive and rude! Food not tasty....I could not eat more than 20% of the food on my plate even though I tried hard as the taste was not as good as I expected. Scrambled egg is very bland. I had 2 spoons of the soup and just couldn't have any more. As soon as the waitress saw I wasn't eating my food she took away my plates. When paying the bill, the system is very strange....have to follow the waitress to the till and then had to wait in line by myself while waiting to pay. We spent JPY8,000 and were here for 40 mins. Rushed dining experience

If you're in the mood for a little European flair in the heart of Tokyo, Buvette is a lovely stop worth checking out. Just a 1-minute walk from Hibiya Station (and 5 minutes from Yūrakuchō), this charming spot sits on the ground floor of the elegant Tokyo Midtown Hibiya complex—right next to the cinema and shopping area. The café has both indoor and outdoor seating, each offering a warm, Western-inspired atmosphere that feels effortlessly chic. Whether you're sipping inside or people-watching on the terrace, it’s easy to feel transported somewhere far from the bustle of central Tokyo. We tried their famous chocolate mousse, and it absolutely lived up to the hype—rich, indulgent, and perfectly airy. The drinks were pretty standard, but the dessert stole the show for us. While a little on the pricey side, visiting Buvette at least once for the ambiance alone feels like a worthwhile splurge. They also serve savory dishes, and the nighttime outdoor seating definitely deserves a return visit under the city lights.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst service experiences I’ve had in Japan. I was seated at an outdoor table outside around 12:30 PM today. A female staff member, who looked slightly older, was extremely careless and unprofessional. First, she was visibly impatient while taking my order—chatting with someone else while preparing my coffee, and nearly spilling it in the process. Second, I ordered a cappuccino but was given an Americano instead. Only after I pointed it out did they replace it with the correct drink. Third, I actually saw her roll her eyes at a customer behind their back—completely unacceptable and disgusting behavior for someone in hospitality. Lastly, when I got the bill, I noticed an extra 350 yen charge for bread I never ordered or received. I genuinely suspect this server added it herself, which is extremely disgusting. And they don’t even have any apologize after checking that was their mistakes.

Manger was racist and refused to take my card asking for pin which card does not have. It was a 1530 yen bill and I put 2000 yen and walked away. This manager should be fired. Other staff were very nice. Let’s start a campaign to get manager fired.

My most favorite place for breakfast in Ginza/Tokyo station area 😍 the ambience, the staff, the food, the terrace - everything is great.

The best almond and butter croissant I’ve had (and trust me I’ve had my share of croissants in life). The coffee and avocado toast are also delicious. The service was great. I 100% recommend for western style breakfast. Also, go there at the opening as there’s always a huge line up to get in.

This beautiful spot is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious breakfast. The indoor space is inviting and comfortable. We were impressed by every dish we tried, and the coffee was exceptional. It's difficult to recommend a specific item, as we loved everything we tasted.

I like the general vibes, the selection of background jazz music. I recommend trying the salad, ratatouille, and chocolate mousse. However, you cannot go wrong with any other random option.
