Eating Out: Organic House Deli & Cafe



Located on the 3rd floor of Coppice's A building, this healthy cafe is incredibly child friendly and has a wide range of food to appeal to everyone. Grab a table (bumbo-type booster chairs and normal Japanese high chairs will be offered by staff if you have younger children) and head up to the deli bar where you will find a wide variety of salads, vegetable, tofu, fish and meat dishes, all with ingredients and allergens listed (in Japanese but staff will answer any questions if you don't understand). Most come in at around 2-300yen per 100g and it's very easy to get carried away with so many choices in front of you! Rice (brown and white) and miso soup are also available. At the entrance to the shop you will find bento boxes and pre-made calzone pizza pockets (400-500yen) which are also highly recommended. There is a decent children's menu which offers a slightly healthier take on the usual omelet rice/wiener/potato fries offerings in other restaurants, and a gelato counter is also on hand to tempt you as you wait to pay for your meal. Vegetarian options available.

Family Friendly? Very! Can't fault the service for children and babies, and with all the other family facilities on offer in Coppice, Organic House is a popular destination for people with young children. Be prepared to wait at peak times. Completely non-smoking.
How much? That's down to your self-restraint in the deli! A calzone and drink will come in at around 8-900 yen, helping yourself to a bit of everything could take your total (per person) up to around 1500 yen.
When/Where? Open from 10am-9pm (last order 8.30pm). Coppice's A building is a short walk north of Kichijoji station via the covered shopping area, Sun Road.

  2. We've been there so many times - it's our default lunch place because it's so easy to take the kids there, the menu is always different and yummy, and there's a play space on the same floor which is great now they're all getting older. Hope they open one near you! Here's the list of shops, maybe there's one not too far from you?
