Quick and cute

Cute little place with nice owners. We didn't have a lot of time because we had to catch a bus so they prepared our curries in a few minutes.

Pros: Service, Speed, Ambiance

Cozy Spot with a Few Vegan Options ☕️

They had a few vegan options here — the scone and tea were both pretty good! Really cozy café vibes with a relaxed, local feel. Great place to unwind and want something light and homestyle.

Loved it

Enjoyed eating vegetarian Bibimbap, served with miso soup. The owner asked me if I am ok with onion and garlic. She knew that I can’t eat meat, eggs.

Lovely little cafe

This is a nice, eclectic cafe near the shopping strip in Yufuin. It's cash only, so set aside some before you go. There are a few vegan options, and I opted for something savoury. I got the soy bibimbap set which came with soup and a drink. It was a hearty meal.

Pros: Vegan options on the menu

Cons: Cash only

Delicious!

I had the vegan Karaage with a little lemon/yuzu taste. Good size portion with delicious miso soup ⭐️
The owner was a very nice Japanese, but English speaking lady 😊

Amazing place with vegan options.

This place offers good vegan food. I ordered vegan curry ,rice and soya chunks. It was delicious. The host is really kind and friendly. He is English speaking so it was very easy to communicate. We were also able to charge our mobiles over there. Overall a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

Good food and atmosphere

This is one of only two vegan options we found in Yufuin. Most of the dishes are not vegan but some can be made vegan for 300 yen extra. The spicy curry wasn’t really spicy, but it was good. Vegan scones were also good.

Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere

Pros: Tasty, Relaxed atmosphere, Fast service

Cons: Limited vegan options

Soy Karage set

They have three vegetarian options- curry and sets using soy ‘meat’. They can cater to vegans, gluten free and allergies. Really delicious food and sweet cafe.

Pros: Soy ‘’meat’, Friendly owners

Amazing vegan chick'n

We had the soy fried chicken platter which was incredible and all vegan (we checked with our server). Rice, miso soup, pumpkin, aubergine with miso paste, potatoes with salsa and crispy delicous chick'n.

There were several other vegan options on the menu too.

Be warned this is the only vegan friendly cafe we could find.

Pros: Lots of options and beautiful decor

Cons: None!!!!

Pleasant and delicious

It was quite a surprise to find a vegan-friendly Cafe restaurant in rural Japan.
Food was delicious, resonably priced and the staff was kind.

Why does it only allow 4 stars?

This is 5 stars all the way! Delicious organic coffee, lentil curry, the best soy fried "chicken" I've ever had, and a spectacular warm banana scone served with maple syrup and coconut milk. So good. My wife bought a necklace there too, otherwise our bill would have totalled only 2700 yen. Highly recommended! We'll be back for sure.
