Friendly place with good food!

Ended up taking away the vegetable sandwich and rosemary potatoes as I was short on time but the staff prepared the food quickly and made sure I wouldn’t miss my train.

The sandwich was huge and very filling. The potatoes were also beautifully soft and seasoned.

The huge advantage for me was the fact they brew their own kombucha in house and make their pickles. The strawberry earl gray kombucha was delicious!

Pros: Great food , Friendly staff (also speak English), Kombucha!

Excellent & Filling

HUGE burger prepared expertly. Delicious Buddha Bowl. Unbelievable, large, moist banana walnut muffins. I may need to revisit Kyoto just to buy these muffins. Great, friendly staff and owners. Well worth your time to drop in here!

Pros: Vegan muffin!, Burger!, Power Bowl

Great vegan food & friendly staff

All the food and drinks we had were great. The burger is huge but with a bit of squeezing it can be eaten without cutlery. 😉 The chili beans sandwich was delicious too.
We also had the soup of the day, a very tasty broccoli soup. The rosemary potatoes were great as well.
I can also highly recommend their homemade lemon soda!

Pros: Delicious food, English speaking staff

Tiny gem

This is a very small venue down one flight of stairs on a small street - look out for the sign outside so you don’t miss it. Everything is vegan and while the menu is small (though options change regularly), the food is clearly put together with a lot of care and passion. We tried the fried potatoes (a variety of potato types) and the burger - it was huge, and not just in terms of Japan sizes. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan , Good food, Passionate staff

Cons: Small menu, only two or three mains a day

Tasty and cozy

Had the burger which was huge but very good. Overall a nice place, perhaps a few more options and fruits would be a nice addition

Fab staff, fab falafel, long wait times.

We popped into vegginy with a group of 4 and were seated immediately at the bar for lunch service, something that doesn’t happen all too often in Kyoto! Awesome.
However, dining here was a 2 hour experience as once we were sat down, it took the staff over an hour to prepare our meals. We ordered 2 falafel sandwiches, the burger and the nacho rice dish.
To give the staff some credit, the place and kitchen are very small, and they are preparing excellent quality food. Unfortunately for myself and my partner we ordered the burger and nacho rice dish which were really lacking in flavour, and the burger was quite difficult to eat, spilling out everywhere as soon as I crushed it down (think classic vegan veggie patty with nothing dense to hold it together). Eating the food though did however make us feel pretty excellent - real quality ingredients. Unfortunately I can’t comment on the falafel personally but this place gets 5 stars because apparently it was to die for - our meat eating friends that we were with said that it was the best food they’d had all trip, and that they’d never known falafels could be so moist and delicious. They concluded it was well worth the wait.
Tl;dr: beautiful staff, very long wait time to get your food, get the falafel sandwich. ❤️

Pros: Falafel sandwich, Beautifully decorated interior, Super delightful and friendly staff

Cons: Very long wait for food , Vegan burger, Hibiscus lemonade

Fantastic little restaurant!

Look out for the little cactus and succulent box and go down the flight of stairs next to it to enter 😉
The food is nothing short of amazing, fresh and delicious. We had the falafel sandwich with potatoes, hot homemade lemonade and the gelato for dessert 😋 this would certainly be a go-to of mine if I lived in Kyoto!

Pros: Good sized portions , Cheap, Food is yum, staff are cool

Cons: Can be hard to find, just look for the sign board

Superb burgers!

We absolutely loved their burgers!
They were hefty and flavoursome. Their home-grown sweet potato side was an the small side but incredibly tasty plus always good to use local and organic produce

Pros: Local produce, Made with lots of care

Cons: Will sell out fast, Get there early or expect long queues

Had a great lunch at this lovely place. The food was really good! You can tell that they make their dishes with love and attention to detail, but be aware that the service is a little slow.

Pros: Yummy food, Nice staff

Cons: Slow service

Friendly vegan café

At Vegginy , the main dishes are a vegan burger, sandwich of the day and a Buddha bowl with the option of soup or roasted potatoes on the side. The main dish portions are super generous and everything is fresh and homemade. Other things on the menu are smoothies, kombucha, cocktails, beer, vegan muffins and gelato—something for everyone. The café is small with six stools at the counter and three tables, so come early or just get lucky grabbing a seat. It’s popular, deservedly so.

The friendly chef and server speak English and there’s an English menu.
The entrance is next to the Vine Oak building. Look for the sign on the street level and take the stairs one flight down.

Pros: Generous portions , Tasty sauces and grilled tofu , International cuisine

Great food and friendly owners and cooks

We enjoyed the food and the good company in this small, nicely decorated restaurant just south of the Kyoto Imperial palace. The roasted rosemary potatoes were tender and the burger and Korean tofu bbq sandwiches were generous and packed with beautiful fresh vegetables. Be sure to get a muffin to go!

Pros: All vegan, English spoken

Good sandwich slow service

The banh-mi sandwich was very flavorful, we ordered it with local potatoes, ingredients are organic and staff is friendly. However, the service was very slow, when we arrived, there was only one other table occupied and they were already eating, our order took almost 40 minutes. We didn’t see this mentioned in other comments, so hopefully it was just a coincidence😄

Delicious and cozy

The entrance isn‘t that obvious (you have to go downstairs) but luckily we found it and there was enough space for us.
It‘s a small room, but the food is prepared right in front of you. They also had fresh vegan muffins.
It tasted amazing, was a bit pricy tho.
So if you‘re ready to pay a little more for a completely vegan experience this is the restaurant for you!

Pros: Many vegan options

Cons: a bit expensive

gorgeous staff, very good food

We went there for lunch and it was a blast! The staff - two lovely women - were so charming and lovely and gave us inside information for our vacation. Everything was prepared with much love and focus. The vegetable was incredibly fresh, I could have eaten a whole cabagge just like that.

Great place with multiple vegan lunch options. I asked for the sandwich of the day and wanted to modify it. This was no problem at all! Helpful staff and cute place.

Amazing Homemade Food

The food here is outstanding. This was one of the best vegan burgers I’ve ever had. The patty was homemade from scratch, and so, so tasty. I also tried a bite of tofu Ban Minh, which was equally delicious. The soup was very flavorful and warming on the chilly, spring day that I visited. Couldn’t resist getting a freshly baked muffin for dessert and enjoyed every bite.
