Great Vegan Cafe

Little cafe within a hotel. Has a good variety of vegan meal options. We got several of the items including: burger, curry dish, egg sandwich and soy meat bowl. All had good flavor and good portions. Worth a visit.

Holy Yum

This place is so wonderful! I had to order multiple dishes to satisfy all my cravings. The egg sandwich is to die for… they somehow managed to add in the egg taste. And the ramen is delicious as well. The service was extremely fast.

Pros: Extremely fast service , Condensed menu, Very clean

Okay

Nothing special.
The curry was okay but with 2000yen quite expensive for what you get. cosy atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great vegan egg sandwiches and curry

Great vegan egg sandwiches and curry. A bit on the salty side.

Burger is good but a bit plain.

Tasty, colourful dishes, served with a smile!

Pleasant venue; quiet and relaxing.
We had the ramen and the curry, which were served swiftly and presented well.
The flavours in the dishes were good and balanced. I was still a bit hungry after the curry, but maybe because I had walked 7 miles beforehand!

Pros: Service and environment., Great ramen and iced soya matcha.

Cons: Portion size a bit small for the curry., Not quite hot enough (temperature).

Almost completely vegan

It’s almost completely vegan. It seems they offer cow milk as option for matcha latte (together with soy and almond milk), but the lunch food menu was completely vegan.
We had the egg sandwich, the burger and matcha latte. Everything was very delicious.

Everything is great here

Had a Iced matcha latte, a vegetable curry and a soy ramen and also tasted the burger (unfortunately didn't make a picture of the burger and the ramen).
Everything was very good and the portions were bigger than mostly here in Japan.

Great food, calming cafe

Everything we had here was fantastic. It was a lovely spot to escape the hustle and bustle of Gion.

It was so nice to finally eat something chocolate (vegan) since touching down in Japan!

fresh and light ramen and curry

Calm space tucked away from the crowds.
Offers very tasteful ramen and curry.
