Nothing vegan here.

Don’t waste your time and effort like I did. No food, no soy milk, no oat milk.

Cute vegetarian spot with vegan options

Lovely little cafe portions are a little small but lovely place. It feels like your japanese mom is cooking it

Pros: Tasty vegan cake, Vegan breakfast

Cons: Heater was pretty stinky

Delicious choco pudding

Nice, cozy cafe, they apparently change the vegan options all the time, this time they had vegan ice cream and this delicious chocolate pudding, the cocoa(drink), was not too tasty, the flavor was very week, but maybe is how the organic stuff should taste. The staffs were very sweet.

Excellent and inexpensive

Came here for coffee and it was so good we came back for lunch. Meals are almost all vegan and made fresh. A limited menu but very tasty. Great coffee #Veganuary

Pros: Spacious venue for Japan, Tasty, Inexpensive

Great vegan food!

Loved the atmosphere and conversation with the owners (two women). Vegan curry was delicious 😋
The only downside was the choice of music: some pop, felt a bit out of place among Yuzawa mountains

A little gem

I was worried I’d be hungry on a surprise trip to Yuzawa, but The Spot saved me. I went there four times, and each time was a nice experience.

Pros: Not all vegan but most can be made vegan, Great breakfast and coffee! Yummy deserts. , Very friendly staff with good English skills.

Cons: Sometime unclear what is vegan and what isn’t.
