Vegan bubble tea!

I could finally try bubble tea, and it was delicious. The place is small and cute. I didn’t have any food, but i imagine it’s just as tasty.

Lovely staff and nice food

We went for a late lunch, I think they were very busy but they accepted us anyways. There were only two options: a burger with fries and udon soup with some type of croquette. Both were very good!!
The place is very small and the woman that served us was also the one cooking, but normally I think there are two people (one of them was teaching Chinese at the moment?). The food took a bit to be ready and the dishes didn't come together, so you have to start eating even if the rest of your table didn't get the food... unless you don't care it will get cold, haha. Still, it is a great place so go if you can!

Don’t miss this!

This tiny cafe was the highlight of my time in Osaka. The chef/owner/waitress (all one person) worked hard to make a delicious experience for me. I adored the soy based soup (which was massive) and the gyoza.

Pros: All Vegan, Cute , Veggie options to go

Good if it's your last option

I've visited twice, both times have felt a little awkward with the staff because it's so small (seats only maybe 10?) and I've always been the only customer. Other than that, there's a good few vegan options of soups, sets and dumplings to choose from. Might return, like i said, tasty and fast if there's nothing else

Pros: Fast service, Well labelled vegan options , Inexpensive

Cons: Small

Best vegan place in Osaka

This place is my absolute favorite in Osaka, so good I had to go back more than once in my four days of being there. The woman who owns the restaurant is so lovely and the meals she makes are absolutely wonderful. Good amount of food for the price you pay! If I could, I’d go back many many more times. I recommend everyone to go if you come to Osaka!

The standard set meal is my favorite and it’s 1200, add bubble tea and it’s 1500 in total. SO worth it.

Delicious

Very small, when I went there was a choice of three options - udon, a burger or a soy milk hotpot set meal. I had the hot pot, which had a mix of tofu, vegetables and noodles in a creamy soup base and also came with a few small sides including the best vegan fried chicken I’ve ever had.

Cosy Cafe with yummy vegan plates

This cosy little cafe is on the first floor of a building and feels like you’re in someone’s kitchen. The staff were so friendly and they explained clearly what wasn’t vegan. We both got a vegan lunch plate and really enjoyed everything. We also had vegan bubble tea (soy milk) which was delicious. The place has good air conditioning too.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, English menu, Friendly staff

Amazing authentic vego or vegan Japanese

Once you find the place you feel like you're in a cozy grandmas kitchen, it's so cozy and authentic. A few great lunch trays to choose from. You really cant go wrong!

Pros: She will ask if you would like vegan or vego.

Highly recommended

First of all the restaurant is on the upper floor and may be a little hard to find but look at the shop windows of the upper floor and you’ll find “VEGETARIAN” in captial pink letters.
The food was great, I especially recommend the udon noodles and any soy-meat dishes. The tea was perfection and the staff were even better. Very sweet and attentive, even walked us out and overall a great experience!
The food selection is also quite big.

Amazing food!

Small but cute restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. Staff are very friendly but don't speak much English. Stopped in for lunch and there was both vegan and vegetarian lunch sets available so make sure to ask for vegan if you're not vegetarian. I had the vegan dumplings lunch set for 1000 yen and paid an extra 300 yen for a bubble tea.

The lunch set was absolutely amazing, with the dumplings seeming boring compared to the side dishes provided - katsu style soy meat, a tofu and bean salad that I could eat a whole bucket of and a cute little salad with vegan kewpie mayo!

Make sure to say no honey with the bubble tea if the staff don't ask.

Coffee comes with delicious thin vegan shortbread cookies too.

Not so hot pot

Maybe I didn't understand what the deal is with the hot pot, but it's a soya bomb - it's boiled soy milk loaded with tons of tofu and a smattering of vegetables. Never would have ordered it had I known that it was basically a bucket of soya product, not to mention it was bland. I reasonably expected some significant amount of veg in the hot pot but there was very little. I don't imagine anyone would really enjoy that dish. The little sides - pickles and nori noodles were nice. For 1500¥ it's way overpriced and pretty much a culinary fail.

I can't recommend against going but I say order something else.

Note the restaurant is on the first floor (I guess they call it second here in Japan - 2F) right next to the Hemingway bar. If you look up you'll see "V E G E T A R I A N" in the window. Otherwise you might miss it.

Pros: Very friendly service

Cons: Hot pot was pretty much a total miss, Overpriced
