Super Yummy Stop after Mt. Inari!

We had lunch at Vermillion Cafe after our hike up Mt. Inari. They offered four different main dishes for lunch: Two out of the four were vegan. There’s some other smaller dishes on offer as well. The Hummus Plate was great, it could have been a bit more filling though. The vegan banana and chocolate muffin was really tasty. They also serve good coffee.

Nice quick bite

Conveniently located near Fushimi Inari Taisha. Portion was a bit small but food was delicate and tasty. Nice lunch option after climbing.

Nice granola

Wanted a vegan sandwich but it was sold out so the only vegan thing was a granola and a muffin. Staff very friendly and beautiful view.

Very cute and delicious food!

Very cute setting. Lovely staff. They had a few vegan options. I had the Avocado toast, it was delicious and the dressing on the salad was so yummy. I also cannot recommend the iced Oat Latte enough; it was delicious and one of the best tasting coffees I've ever had!! The Oat milk was so creamy and tasted so good.
Would highly recommend!

Pros: Cute setting, Delicious, fresh food, Friendly, helpful staff

Cons: None!

No vegan or vegetarian options

No vegan or vegetarian options. Menu must rotate out option. I asked for vegan vegetarian options, and they directed me to the main menu.

Pleasant Surprise

The 'vegan cauliflower soup' caught my eye as I walked by post hike to the top. Such a cute spot, and cozy meal during a rainy day. Great hidden gem for options.

Visited Dec 6 2018.

Great stopping point after visiting Fushimi Inari shrine

We stumbled upon this place after coming down from the summit, and it was a perfect stop. Good espresso drinks, very sweet and serene back patio overlooking water. Several vegan options on a well marked menu, including cookies and a muffin. Hummus plate was delicious with lots of fresh veggies.

Good quick bite before/after Fushimi Inari

Nice English speaking cafe right by the entrance/exit to Fushimi Inari. They were out of my first choice for lunch but had another option as well as vegan baked goods, though it looked like I grabbed the last muffin they had left.

Pros: Satisfying meal after hiking Fushimi Inari, English menu and speaking staff

Cons: Runs out of stuff

Decent vegan offering

Western style cafe. Avo toast and hummus dishes have been made vegan as standard. Choc banana muffin is hot stuff. Good spot to refresh following the shrine. Be prepared to wait.

Limited but tasty baked goods

Very limited vegan options for food, but I enjoyed the banana chocolate muffin they had in the counter display and the ambiance.

Not much here

Looks like a really nice place and the staff speak English. Sadly, the only vegan option they had was the “hummus brunch”, which seems rather overpriced at 1400 yen.

No vegetarian options

Went all the way there for nothing. They changed the menu and only had non-vegetarian options... And they could not accommodate our request

I wonder why they are still on Happy Cow if they serve animal products. Definitely a "vegetarian" place that was only made to catch up tourists.

Beautiful view

Came across this place by chance.. after climbing mt inari. We sat in the back terrace which had a beautiful river view. The roast cauliflower soup was delicious and the vegan sandwich of the day was really good.

Stumbled on

I didn't seek this out but was happy to see the word vegan on the sign coming down from Fushimi Inari so I stopped in and had some coffee and a sandwich. Good enough, especially for being a surprise, but kind of pricey.

Pros: Vegan options, Hot beverages, Nice deck

Cons: Expensive

Great view outside, not many options

Tryto grab a spot outside at the swinging chair. I had the avocado toast wuth Rucola. It was good but not worth the 900 yens (ok, the place is really touristic). Staff was nice and English fluent

Super trendy cafe

Yum yum yum ! So happy to find this gem! Staff were so friendly and trendy and loved the style and outdoor seating with a beautiful view ! The place was busy with tourist and I noticed most were eating smashed avo on toast or the falafel plate which was delicious!
Big thumbs up for having on soy and matcha latte was incredible!

Pros: Vegan menu or vegan options where possible , Bonsoy for any coffee/drinks as option , Epic venue with lovely outdoor view

Cons: Was a tad on the pricer side but still cheap

Vegetarian und vegan options

Offers some vegetarian and vegan options. I had the falafel plate, but it wasn't good, the falafel were raw. But the cafe itself was nice, so I would give it another try.

Nice spot

Had the falafel plate, what is enough for lunch. If you love matcha, choose the iced matcha latte (soy milk available). Can be very crowded because of all the tourists. ;-)
