While staying in Tokyo, you are going to want to eat delicious breakfast no matter how early it is. Here, we’re recommending 5 best breakfast spots in Tokyo that open from early morning. Japanese style. Western style. You name it!

There are many reasons why you would wake up early. Maybe you have a flight to catch, or maybe you just want to make most of the time you have at your disposal for sightseeing. Since you’re waking up early, you don’t want to waste the opportunity to have a good breakfast.

It is easy to just go look for a fast food restaurant that’s open 24/7. But you don’t want to do that, right? You want to have a unique and memorable time while enjoying a gorgeous breakfast.

Here are 5 restaurants and cafes we recommend for you to go for breakfast which opens from early morning while you stay in Tokyo. All the following places open at 7am or 8am.

1. Eggcellent

The concept of this Cafe-Restaurant Eggcellent is “Even though you are busy, eat breakfast well, start a pleasant day”. As you can tell by the name of the place, they focus on their egg dishes. The strictly organic eggs they use for their dishes are delivered all the way from a farm in Yamanashi every morning, which guarantee’s its freshness. You can enjoy the taste of these exclusive eggs in the various dishes they offer.

Especially, their original Eggs Benedict accompanied with Quinoa, is a dish that will delight you with its volume and taste. The Breakfast Parfait is another dish we strongly recommend. It contains homemade yogurt and granola, making it a perfect breakfast dish for early mornings. And for those who love the sweeter dishes, the egg tart is a must, especially because you won’t see many places in Tokyo that have egg tarts.

Besides the main restaurant located in Roppongi, you will also find Eggcellent in Haneda Airport, Omotesando, and Shirokane.
