marbre vegan

Tender sponge, domestic strawberries, and whipped cream that stays light without feeling heavy define the strawberry shortcake at marbre vegan. Located in Shinjuku 2-chome, just a short walk from Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, the sweets cafe crafts its cakes and baked goods entirely from plant-derived ingredients. The showcase displays a wide selection of vegan and gluten-free pastries, offering gentle sweetness that caters to varied dietary routines as easily as casual afternoon drops-ins.

Beyond the signature shortcake, choices range widely: a matcha tiramisu layering Nishio green tea with Hokkaido azuki red beans, espresso-soaked tiramisu sponge, and a dense cheesecake built on a handmade plant-based cheese filling. Slices made with Kyushu Japanese chestnuts, smooth puddings, and seasonal fruit tarts on crisp crusts let guests tailor their order to the time of year or personal cravings.

Savoury cravings are accommodated with plant-based takes on Japanese cafe staples, including vegan egg and cutlet sandwiches that work well for breakfast or a quick lunch. The cafe offers drinks such as matcha soy lattes, blended coffee, and hot teas for a relaxed sit-down pause, while the entire lineup is equally suited to take away for an outing in the nearby gardens.

Cashless payments are accepted, including major credit cards, transit IC cards, and Rakuten Pay (PayPay is not supported). It makes for an effortless rest stop when wandering the Shinjuku neighbourhood in search of a thoughtful slice of cake.
