BUY ME STAND

Food was delicious and came pretty quickly. The only disappointment was the hash browns that came with two tiny little triangles (see pictures). Atmosphere was nice and quiet unlike most places in Shibuya, but maybe a little bit of jazz or quiet music would be nice. Service was okay since the worker at the register didn’t mention you get a drink with your order (only coffee or tea) so when my friend got an orange juice he ended up paying extra without knowing. The other workers however worked fast and efficiently which was nice to see.

This place forte is their sandwiches but when i visit i grab the breakfast option cause im on the hunt of trying breakfast here in japan. This one is a top contender cause they do have a good breakfast set meal for around 1000 yen with a good coffee already, vibes also is a check and it opens early which is a gem since most of the restaurants here opens in the afternoon. Love the vibes of the "Gen z" staff as well. Good find! ❤️

We really liked the vibe here—once you get close to the shop, you’re welcomed by the irresistible smell of grilled cheese sandwiches. That said, the food and drinks were just okay and a bit on the pricey side. Nothing too bad, but the staff member who took our order wasn’t very friendly, so the first impression could’ve been better. We were lucky to get seats, though there’s additional space on the second floor upstairs. It’s about a 7-minute walk from Shibuya Station, tucked away in a quieter neighborhood. If you're in the mood for grilled cheese and have a bit of time, it's still a spot worth checking out!

Griddled sandwiches come crisp at the edges and buttery in the middle; bread are thick-cut, sourdough with a gentle tang. Cheese blend pulls long without oiliness. Apple and sage add a clean lift, while a jalapeño option gives small fire. Drip coffee runs light, but balanced. Counter seats watch the flat-top, mornings at 9 are quieter, and staff don’t push, just glide.

I really love this place. Better for lunch & the cooking can take a bit of time so better not to be in a rush. But I very much enjoy the vibe - hipster & 80’s feel to the place. The grilled cheese are super good- it’s actually my 3rd time coming here since it’s close to my office. Feel like a real Canadian grilled cheese which I LOVE!

Really cosy cafe with tasty sandwiches! Two vegetarian options on the menu, including a delicious avocado spinach and basil sandwich

I decided to try their highly recommended and popular sandwich, known as the "Apple Cheeks," but I couldn't quite grasp its popularity. It had a sweet taste and was slightly dry, which didn't quite suit my palate. Also, the coleslaw didn’t taste like coleslaw. Given the overall quality of the food, I personally felt that ¥1,450 for a sandwich + coffee set was overpriced.

Yo, 10 minutes walk from Shibuya Station, Get off at "New South Exit," feel the sensation. In a quiet spot, it might not seem grand, But step inside, it's the "Buy Me Stand"! Chill vibes, straight outta the States, Stylish look, like your favorite old tapes. Upstairs, it's like a Cuban/Miami retreat, Table seats where old-school meets street. Egg in a Hole that’s crispy cheese and fine, The Cheese so good, it'll blow your mind. Simple menu, made to perfection, Every bite tastes like a true connection. From Shibuya to the USA, "Buy Me Stand" is the spot to play. American dreams in a Tokyo lane, Come through once, you'll feel the same.

Nate and I were in the area for our Monkey Kart reservation and we were pretty hungry. I hopped on Google maps and realized a friend of a friend had recommended Buy Me Stand which was pretty close, so we walked over. There was a short line forming outside, so we waited a bit. I was getting a little nervous because we were coming up on our reservation time for the Monkey Karts, but it all worked out perfectly. The menu consists of several grilled cheese sandwiches and some breakfast plates. Each sandwich comes with coleslaw and a drink (coffee or tea). I got the couch potato grilled cheese (potato, bacon, cheddar, and mascarpone) and Nate got the ham actor (pork shoulder, tomato, cheddar, caramelized onion). They have limited seating on the ground floor, but a bit more on the second level. The flat top was fun to see, and the eggs and bacon they were making looked and smelled wonderful. They brought our food upstairs and I'll admit, I wasn't that impressed just based on the first impression. I was hoping for a toastier, buttery bread - but then I took a bite. It was somehow one of the greatest grilled cheeses I've ever had. It was such a comforting combination of carbs. I loved it! I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for some comfort food or diner breakfast.

Its name "BUY ME STAND" obviously comes from "STAND BY ME", which I assume the owner is a big fan of. Well, it is surely a weird name for western-style sandwich places but I didn't ask any questions about that, lol. This place feels like "west coast" in the US, a cafe for "just hanging out", though their toasted sandwich dishes are pretty good. I was actually pretty impressed. The prices are a bit higher than I wish they would be, particularly considering you'd order a drink to go with as well. Having said that, I'd still recommend you go check out this place when you have a crave for toasted sandwiches. They are open pretty early so you can come for breakfast too, though it's located a bit far from every station...

Like its name, this 'diner' is a jumbled mess. I am all for shabby chic, but this place looks like a 70s crack den. Not to mention that the floors, chairs and tables are so dirty and dusty--as if they haven't been cleaned for years! Service is poor. This sad little place in no way embodies any of the attributes of the casual, friendly, wholesome American diner. The staff at this place are rude and lazy. The guy in the 'store' upstairs looks like he's about to Charles Manson someone. I wish him a swift recovery. The bahn mi is AWFUL. Indeed, it might be the sorriest version of the classic Vietnamese sandwich I've ever had: a soft, corpse-like roll packed with what tastes like cold, chlorinated chicken and sour vegetables. The bread was stale, the parsley was brown and the spread tasted like ketchup (actually, I'm pretty sure it was ketchup..GASP). The ingredients utilised were nasty, bland, tile grouting. This 'Vietnamese' sandwich is an insult to a whole country. Worst of all these was the BLT. Sliced pig wallows miserably in a thick puddle of gloopy, whiteness, wondering what it did to deserve this.To make matters worse, the plate comes with a sad lump of coleslaw that had no discernible flavour, only a hailstorm of mayonnaise that my bowels rebelled against shortly after. As far as this diner can tell, the only reason to pick up a utensil here is to maybe defend yourself with it in case the 'cook' loses it and stabs you for saying he can't make a decent sandwich. Hey, it's the truth. I am all about respecting other people's opinions, but this place is an insult to diners. If you think the sandwiches here are good, you haven't LIVED and I feel sorry for you. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. You deserve better.

Great breakfast option in Shibuya. Cheap free coffee with meal ¥1400 for two and portion is large. An American style diner on the bridge just off an intersection. Recommend the Toad in the Hole!
