Really Nice café

During my stay in Naha in May 2025, me and my friend came 3 times to this place. Most of the food is vegan and there is an English menu, where every vegan option is clearly labeled.
The staff is really nice and polite.
I highly recommend the potato pancakes (which are made with local potatoes) and the vegetable curry.
Seasonal drinks are also very tasty, and made with local mangos.

Good food with clearly labelled vegan options

We had hamburger and it was really tasty - it was a grain based burger patty not the kind of meat like patty.
The staff was also really friendly and the cafe is cozy.

Pros: Food, Clearly labelled vegan options

Plenty of options

There are a lot of vegan options, all clearly marked—even desserts. However, I feel like the portions are a bit small for the price.

Good in a pinch

We arrived for breakfast but they only serve a soup and salad set which is a bit different! It was still quite nice though. A minestrone style soup, 3 pieces of bread, small salad and drink of your choice. We went with iced coffee which was pretty good. We also got a chocolate cookie and a red bean bun. Well priced for a breaky option when there is nothing else open. The shopping complex opens at 10am and they had a lot of vegan snacks.

Fluffy vegan +GF pancakes

The pancakes were really fluffy and slightly crispy on the edges. The whip was very creamy and sweet. The Beniimo cream was only slightly sweet and was very creamy aswell.

Everything was in harmony, nothing too sweet, good portion size, especially for the price and the location.

Friendly staff, huge menu, long opening hours.

Veg option available

Food is not so tasty but they have lot of vegan options. Hamburger and fries were too salty. Taco rice was ok but not so spicy.

Mostly vegan menu!!

Except one meat and one vegetarian dish, everything is vegan! Soy milk is the default milk and as far as I could see they don’t even serve cows milk. Many fancy drink and great food options. Perfect for remote working with sockets and single seating area. Free tap water and no one complains even if you stay there for 5 hours haha. Went twice!

Pros: Mostly vegan menu , No „vegan“ alternative, but main theme

Cons: Plastic cups and straws, Single use oshibori

Lovely cafeteria (with loveliest staff)

We came here for vegan version of Okinawan speciality; taco rice. We also shared tofu ”fish” and chips which was very tasty. The cafeteria has also very nice soda drinks. Would recommend this place for all vegans who visit Naha.

Fair

We went to this café because it was close by on a rainy Thursday afternoon, when the nearby alternatives were closed.

Easy to find place and the vegan options could not be marked any better on the menu.

The café is within a mall-like department store so the vibe was so-so.
Tastewise I was a bit disappointed though. My Amagasi Sundae had nothing but the shape in common with soft serve ice and was not yummy at all :(. My partner had pancakes which were also lacking in depth. Their fish and chips was good though, so I suspect that their savoury dishes are just better.

Everything looks lovely, but taste is just okay

There are many things to pick from, but we were not satisfied.

Convenient and tasty

This place saved me many times when I was visiting Naha, since it’s one of the few cafes with vegan options opened from breakfast. Their dishes are very tasty, I especially liked the beni imo pancake.

Lots of vegan options in this department store cafe

Huge amount of vegan options in this cafe including sundaes, taco rice, purple potato pancakes. Soy milk is available for drinks. I had the taco rice, amagashi sundae and a matcha latte. I’ll be back again for the pancakes! You can also find some vegan biscuits and pastries at the counter. The souvenir section next to the cafe also sells vegan Cokofu biscuits and which can be wrapped for free.

Lots of Vegan Options

A nice cafe on the 2nd floor of the Ryubo Department Store with great opening hours and A LOT of vegan options! We had the vegan taco rice, vegan fish and chips, and the pancakes with purple sweet potato. I felt like all the dishes had a bit of a generic taste overall, but nevertheless they were all still delicious!

Go for the curry

We tried one of their curries, a burger, pancakes and chocolate sundaes. The curry was great, large portion and very cheap, the burger was ridiculously small (served with exactly 4 potatoe chips!), the pancakes were good, the sundaes tasted weird (more like pure ice without any sugar). The curry was clearly the option so if you go there that's all I would advise to get, but they're worth it.

Pros: Curry, Pancakes

Cons: Small burger, Sundaes

Lots of Vegan Options!

The cafe was based inside a mall and they had lots of vegan options from savoury to desserts. Unfortunately a lot of them were sold out as we went at around 2:30pm but we still managed to get a taco rice!

Pros: Lots of Vegan Options

Great vegan options!

After failing at two vegan restaurants in Naha (they didn't have more food), we went for vegan options. The food was really delicious and I was surprised that they actually have more vegan options than non-vegan. Some things were sold out (sadly), but what we had was great and of course dessert :)

The food is reliably delicious, the wait time is low, and it is not too pricey. Desserts are very good as well. Came here twice.

Good options

Everything is clearly labeled, and there are quite a few vegan options. I had the multigrain burger, tea, and an amagashi sundae. The burger was delicious; the multigrain bun was especially good. The sundae was really sweet and very tasty. I also bought some scones to take away, which were tasty, too. Prices were relatively inexpensive, and the service was good.

Good choice of food, fast and a nice place to rest

There are many vegan options from main meals to breakfast (pancakes) and desserts. The taco rice (an Okinawa speciality but usually with meat) and drink set was very good value.

Pros: Good choice, Good value, Helpful staff

Japan vs. America

there is a distinct difference in veganism between American and Japanese vegan food. I have gone to several places while in Japan, and the most recent has been Rakuen Cafe. I have gone to several places while in Naha, Japan. Vegan food in Japan they choice ingredients that are very earthy, with distinct differences in texture and flavor as well.

Very unique yet enjoyable!
