Perfect spot for breakfast! - Edit
We needed a quick spot to grab breakfast early and they were open. It was so nice and clean inside. It was a huge space! Really nice place to relax and maybe read. We got the tofu egg salad sandwiches and coffee. It was great and what we needed to get the day started.

Vegan and GF - Edit
We had breakfast there first in the morning and had the pancakes and egg roll. Both were quite nice noting that the pancakes were also GF. It was the right amount of chocolate sauce for the pancakes.
Read moreWe went back for dinner and had the 4 cheese platter. The home made cheeses were really lovely but it was quite small. Order extra crackers!
Had pizza (very small), taco rice and the soba noodles. All were quite good but not exceptional. The soba noodles and taco rice were a decent size. The pizza is very small.
Pros: Home made cheese and the variety , Vegan and GF
Cons: Some items are very small serving sizes

Refreshing desserts! - Edit
I enjoyed a parfait with ice cream, chocolate cake, and frozen fruit. They only serve desserts and coffee between certain hours so make sure to check beforehand. It was a nice treat on a VERY hot day!

One of my favs! - Edit
Can’t understand why this places has bad reviews, the food is delicious, good service, so warm & comforting. Both soups I tried were really tasty& a good portion, the salad dressing was really tangy. Omelette rice was delicious & the pizza was AMAZING. Couldn’t believe it was gluten free!

Neither good nor bad - Edit
The overall vibes and ambiance of the place felt very impersonal compared to the majority of vegan places I’ve gone to in Japan. The food (I had onion soup & salad) was fine, just very bland in taste and forgettable.
Read moreNeither of my companions liked their salads so I ended up having it all. I didn’t mind because that particular day I had hardly eaten. It was fun.😄
Pros: Food arrived quickly

Very good (except the soba noodles) - Edit
We ordered white wine, green smoothie, hamburger, soba noodles and pancake. I didn’t like the soba noodles (no taste), but the rest was very delicious. Try the white wine if you like wine in general. It was very good. Since I really liked the wine, I still give 5 stars.

Nice Parfait and pizza - Edit
The chocolate parfait consists of soy milk and amazake soft serve, a bit of chocolate sauce, some frozen berries and brownie bites.
Read moreEverything tasted good and the presentation was nice.
However there was a lot of air in the glass so it looked bigger than it actually was.
The pizza was tasty, especially the cheese. But it was small and more like a snack than an actual meal.
The salad that came with it was very nice.

Mid restaurant - Edit
Honestly the food was not good but not bad either just really mid. I was a bit disappointed because it did look great but the flavour was not there for me.

Nah - Edit
Came here for the pizza. 1900 JPY for a hand sized pizza like bread. Ok tasting - not worth it.
Read moreTwo girls in the shop, one of them was nice, the main waitress kept up a poker face though. Comfy seating but the place overall lacks soul. Definitely wouldn’t come again.

Not bad, not great - Edit
I saw the mixed reviews on this place, but wanted to try it myself. Unfortunately, I am part of the mixed-feelings group. My husband and I had the pancake breakfast set and soy milk lattes. The lattes were a little flat and watery - definitely not as good as others we’ve had while in Japan. Breakfast: I saw someone suggest ordering an extra pancake because they were small, so we did just that. Honestly, we should have only ordered one because although they are small, they are dry and dense as heck. They did not come with syrup or any other toppings - it costs extra. I got the maple syrup but my husband opted to go without because he thought it was already included. I received barely a tablespoon - a thimble-sized portion, which I shared so he could choke the thick pancake down.
Read moreIt also came with a side salad with an oniony-flavored dressing and a cup of mystery soup. Overall, it was a bit disappointing. Maybe the lunch is better but I wouldn’t try it again.
Pros: Service was fine

Expensive and small portions - Edit
I enjoyed the food, but my partner thought the pesto pasta was bland and flavourless. Lots of options to choose from, but the portions are very small for the price. This was one of our most expensive lunches in Kyoto - unfortunately we wouldn't go back.

Cold soba and good burger - Edit
We decided to go to this cafe for lunch. We liked soba with vegetables and a burger with a vegetable patty on the menu, and also ordered a chocolate parfait for dessert. Unfortunately, the soba turned out to be cold, apparently it was intended that way, but they didn't warn me in the menu, I just don't like cold pasta. The burger turned out to be delicious, the parfait was average, the ice cream was delicious, but the berries were too frozen, in November you really don't want such a cold meal. I also drank herbal tea with ginger, it was ok. It also seemed expensive compared to other cafes in Kyoto.

The vegan cheese - hope it will improve! - Edit
Its great, that there is a local shop for vegan cheese. There a 4 Variants, of which we had smokey. It is expensive, but we tried anyway. The taste is smokey, but not so much cheesy. I was rather disappointed. Hope it will get better over time. :)

Alright option - Edit
Ended up here after my first two choices weren’t accepting more customers, so was thankful to have found this place. Menu is mostly pizza and pasta, as well as desserts, but I went with a tofu egg rice dish and a green smoothie. Both were just okay.

Needs improvement in several areas - Edit
I normally feel bad giving a 2 star review to a vegan cafe but we first walked in, it was like we were a nuisance. We were the only customers and arrived as they opened. They had one menu and so we stood at the counter. At breakfast they have 2 options, pancakes (either sweet or savoury) and a yoghurt.
Read moreI opted for pancakes (one is the standard serving) and paid for another pancake as 1 isn’t enough for me. I also asked for chocolate sauce. My partner did the same thing except he had maple syrup.
The pancakes were dry. The flavour was ok but they weren’t great. They also come with vegan butter. I was glad we got different sauces as I needed some maple syrup to make my pancakes less dry and my partner needed chocolate sauce for more flavour.
When it is a breakfast item and you only have 2 things on the menu, I’d expect these to be amazing. They were disappointing. Please consider adding fruit and/or ice cream. The cafe looks nice but the breakfast looks like they’d given up. Coffee was ok, my partner didn’t love the orange juice.
The person who said goodbye as we left was much more pleasant but I wouldn’t recommend for breakfast.

Pancakes - Edit
They offer a breakfast set with salad and soup and a fluffy pancake. No worries to add too many calories here. All very light and only one pancake. Delicious though and just enough. Lovely space and friendly staff.

Great service, poor taste - Edit
Ordered pesto penne and chocolate cake for dine-in, mushroom curry to go.
Read morePenne was bland, chocolate cake tasted more like oversweetened brownie, my wife didn’t like the curry either.
But their service was wonderful, so was the music. I’d have given it 5 stars if the food taste matches their music taste.
