Apelila

We all know that being vegan in Japan can be challenging, and even though Kyoto is the vegan capital of Japan (if not of all of Asia) it can still be difficult to find food between meals, or for breakfast if you can't make it to Cafe Choice.

So I highly recommend stocking up at Apelia on goods to take hiking or just walking around Kyoto. It's all baked fresh and feels natural and healthy, so guess it won't last more than a couple of days, so next time I come to Kyoto I'll stock up here as often as needed, and more for wherever I go the next time.

I went here on a recommendation, and didn't realise at first but EVERYTHING is vegan! It's such a cute shop, and they have so much to try. I got the red bean bun and a couple of flavoured loaves. Amazing!

So glad to have found this place! Vegan bread can be very hard to find in Japan, and this lovely little bakery has it all. The types of bread they have differ depending on the day, but they mainly focus on sweet and savoury buns like an-pan, custard-pan, cheese + pumpkin pan etc. Would definitely recommend.
