Cozy cafe and shop

Stopped in for a little afternoon sweetness on a cold day. Enough hippie vibes to go around. Staff is super sweet and accommodating to English speakers but also complimented me on my broken Japanese. They serve a couple of rice dishes, scones, cakes, and various beverages. I enjoyed the soy milk chai and raw chocolate cake. Also picked up a Fair Trade chocolate bar on my way out. Minimum for credit card is ¥1,000. Restroom and free wifi available.

Cosy

Lovely and warm to come in here after a walk in the freezing cold.
Very casual relaxed cat vibe place.
Had a nice tofu rice bowl, nothing fancy nor huge, but nice enough.
Had a lovely minty herbal tea also.

Cute

Sweet little tea house with a menu offering a selection of light meals and drinks. Cute store to check out whilst waiting for food. The owner is lovely and the cafe is in honor of his late cat who passed away in 2020 at the age of 23 🩷

Healthy food, nice owner

The soy meat bowl was good, I liked the flavouring of the soy meat in particular. And the cat shaped rice is ofc duper cute!! But the bowl wasn't really filling. I missed some kind of soup.
The owner is very friendly. He asks customers not to wear any parfum or other strong chemical fragrances and not to use disinfectants. I don't know his reasons, but I like these rules since I'm supporting a toxin-free lifestyle. And especially in restaurants, these compounds can interfere with the food we are eating.

We ordered something to go and the owner prepared it which so much love. It was very delicious and healthy.
In my opinion a to go order suits as a vegan bento box for train rides😄

Pros: Healthy and organic food, Friendly staff

Cute Neko Cafe

Stopped in for lunch. Sitting for about 10 people. Selection of baked goods and a couple small meals with a large selection of hot and cold, non-alcoholic drinks. All vegan. I ordered the soy meat dish and it came with a choice of salty lemonade or mint tea; I ordered the mint. All was very tasty and priced good.

Pros: Cozy, Kind host, Quiet

Delightful little vegan cafe

Friendly owner who was happy for me to practice my Japanese over a pot of refreshing Nepali black tea. There is a small kitten nic-nac shop in the corner so i bought some cute handmade cat toys. I didn’t eat but the menu looked delicious.

Pros: Friendly , Cat nostalgia , Delicious tea

Warm vibes

This place felt like home. Nothing fancy about the style of the place and no over the top food. Just a lovely owner with a love of cats and great cooking abilities! We got the curry and the stir fry with the salty lemonade and the chai tea. We also got the coconut gluten free cake as a treat. All were delicious. There is also a small shop with some vegan foods and cat related items. We bought a cat toy with catnip in.

The owner told us on arrival not to use sanitiser or perfume as he is sensitive to strong smells so I advise you not to use anything strong smelling before you go.

Pros: Feels like home, Cat related

Cute place, solid food

Very solid and tasty food. Small shop and friendly owner. They note that they don't allow use of hand sanitizers, hand creams, or perfumes (especially musk scents). Thought the portion size was a little small but price was accordingly reasonable so no complaints.

This place was just so peaceful. And the name was so cute. I loved that they put a smiley face on my rice. (╹◡╹)♡

A delighful little cat-themed café

We were lucky enough to have this little café just around the corner from our hotel, so we could try their curry for lunch - it was a good portion of home-cooked food and we loved it. The salted lemonade was also very nice. The cats are a theme but there are none in the shop. I found the owners to be very smiling and welcoming. Show them some love if you are in the neighbourhood !

Pros: Little and cozy, Lovely home made food, Nice staff

A delightful little stop

This small cafe/shop was a delightful little stop on our morning stroll. Kitten obsessed, obviously, and a very thoughtful experience. We loved the Kitten Company tea bowls and the little whisks to stir your tea with. As cute as the name implies.

Calm escape from the madding crowds of Kyoto

I was starting to go nuts with all the crowds and this place popped up on Happy Cow. I was walking away from the station already, and this place was nearby.

What a stroke of luck!

You go in, and there is peace. A friendly waiter, with a friendly smile. The place is small, but that's a good thing. It's both a restaurant and a shop selling an almost random collection of things that they describe as "Rations for vegetarian travellers in Japan. It is hard to [find] vegetarian options in this country". There was vegan mayo. Italian Pomodoro tomatoes in cans. Eden brand mustard and apple cider. Chocolate Chip Cookies! 😄

The food was great. I had a simply made but complex tasting curry. Spice tea. And a really nice scone.

Finally, they really like cats. There are no cats there, but there is a lot of cat paraphernalia.

:-)

Pros: Peaceful, Very welcoming staff, English was fine

Cute place

The place is really cute and cozy. There are no actual cats in the restaurant but it is full of cat photos and displays. The curry and the cocoa drink are really good. A dish that feels like home. #Veganuary

Great scones

Scones were great with Japanese plum jam. Chai was not good with very burnt soy milk.
The Drinks were expensive as well.

It was OK!

The food is presented very kawaii. It was okay, and small servings for the price you pay but it is all organic so it is fair enough. The owner does give you that paper about no sanitiser etc.

Pros: Cute cafe, Nice English speaking staff

Cons: Small servings , Not great flavours

Very good vegan café

The eggplant and vegetable pita sandwich was delicious. My omnivorous friends really liked the vegan curry. Good chocolate cake and I recommend the mikan juice.

Would come again. We went in the evening and only the pita bread was available, we had the eggplant one and it was SO GOOD. Best accidental find.
