If only we had found this before going to Mos Burger! - Edit
After dining at Mos Burger for lunch, we found this place about a block away and we were disappointed that we didn't come here for lunch. We ordered I believe a carrot cake and brownie for dessert since there were several vegan options.
Read moreWe didn't bother asking for a menu since we had already eaten.
Both desserts were great and the staff was friendly. If we're in Kyoto, we'll be back for a full meal.
Pros: Great desserts!, Friendly staff

Lovely - Edit
Vegan options were clearly marked as such and when I came the morning menu as well as the sweets were almost all vegan, so there was lots to choose from! The food and drink took a while but were delicious.
Read moreThere were a few families with children, so I'd put it down as a family-friendly option! The place is also comparatively large, so no need to worry about lack of available seating.
Pay was cash only and the store was closing earlier today, so as the description says it might be good to check ahead.
In terms of price it was neither cheap nor expensive.

Perfect for a quick lunch - Edit
Perfect place for a quick lunch, and conveniently located near the Nijo Castle. We ordered their vegan burger and a ha take teishoku, made up of chickpea stew with veggies, onion and potato cake, pickles, tofu omelette, salad and brown rice. As a dessert we had the coconut and carrot cake, and a coffee jelly with fruit.

Lovely café - Edit
Within 5-10 minutes walk from Nijo Station, it has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, you can sit comfortably and chat with your friends for as long as you want sipping a drink or eating. I had a pretty good chai latte (soy milk option available) and a really delicious vegan lentil burger, healthy and yummy, served with a small tasty salad and good crunchy bread. 5/5 for that burger. Being a cafe and not a restaurant they have a limited menu, but there are a few vegan options and they are all marked on the menu. I spoke Japanese with the staff, but they seem to know English as well.

Friendly staff, irregular hours - Edit
Tried going here a few times but the shop was closed early without obvious explanation. Success on the third try though and glad for it.
Read moreI had the vegan burger which was delicious and filling (though deceptively small at first).
If you’re in the area this is a great option, but probably not worth crossing town for.

Calm & nice cafe - Edit

Highly recommended! - Edit
If perchance one plans a trip to the bamboo forest from the Nija / Oike area then a visit to this establishment is obligatory.
Read moreMany options on the food menu are vegan. The coffee is truly excellent. The staff are delightful.
We popping in for coffees (one hand drip and one French press) in the early morning, and we liked it so much that we returned later in the day to have lunch.
All the food (see photos) we had was top notch, especially the pickles, the burger bread and the coffee jelly (see menu).
To top it all off we chose an espresso brownie with a shot of espresso (excellent), the combination was heavenly.

Great for food and coffee - Edit
This is a great place for food. It does serve meat but there are numerous well-marked vegan options for savoury and dessert. It also has great specialty coffee. A lovely place - 5 stars if it were fully veggie!
