Best chocolate cake! - Edit
The tofu chocolate cake was the best dessert I’ve had while in Japan. This was a great place to come and escape the heat after visiting the nearby Monkey Park. We enjoyed the cake, apple juice, and an iced latte. All of the options looked delicious!

Leckere Kuchen - Edit
Hatten einen Tofu Schoko Kuchen und einen Lemon Cheesecake, beide waren sehr lecker, aber etwas teuer für kleine Kuchenstücke. Da wir die Kuchen mitgenommen haben, haben wir direkt gefrorene Stückchen bekommen, sodass sie aufgetaut waren, als wir sie essen wollten. In der Nähe des Affenparks

Excellent Desserts, Limited Drinks Choice - Edit
We had a bit of time to kill in Arashiyama while waiting for a bus, and we were excited to see an all- vegan dessert spot listed. It's just across the bridge from the main drag, which meant it was less crowded than other spots, which was good news for us.
Read moreThere was quite a bit of choice in the dessert counter - several different cakes and tarts on display, as well as butter sands promoted. One of our party chose the strawberry milk butter sand/cookie sandwich, which had a strawberry ice cream sandwiched between two buttery biscuits. She loved it, and was especially pleased with the amount of fruit in the ice cream. Another member of our group tried the lemon yoghurt cheesecake. It was really rich, but also zingy and fresh from the lemon. He loved it, except that he wished the base had been baked instead of raw. I had the chocolate tofu cake, and it was incredible! The sponge base was light, and the tofu layer was extremely rich and delicious.
For the desserts alone, we would give 5 stars. However, the drinks menu was quite limited. There were a couple of teas and some coffee, but no milky drinks (cafe latte, matcha latte, etc) or fun soft drinks. More drinks options would really elevate it.
Service was fast and friendly. We ordered at the counter and paid upfront, then the staff brought everything over when it was ready. It was quite a spacious place with big windows.
I would definitely go back!

Very good cakes and coffee - Edit
The tofu tart and cheesecake were delicious, and we enjoyed making our own coffee. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

Cozy with tasty cakes - Edit
Stopped on our way back from Iwatayama Monkey Park. The selection was limited (4/5 choices), so we decided to try grape tart and chocolate brownie cake.
Read moreThe tart was very delicious and light, but chocolate brownie cake was dry and very crumbly. All in all, a nice place to take a quick break.
Pros: Peaceful
Cons: Few options

vegan ICE CREAM !!!! - Edit
When I have the chance to get vegan ice cream (other than sorbet) I usually take it. And this place is 100% vegan.
Read moreI was walking at the nice river and saw it on happy cow so of course I went there.
As I am a big gourmand I tried two ice cream sandwiches (small and delicious) and also „had“ to take some of the cakes (would have loved to try them all but this was even for me too much as there were 10 different styles)… so I took three. Delicious! Prices for the cakes are really ok I would say. (550 p.p.), the ice cream sandwiches are 600 each.
Pros: Vegan ice cream , the variety of cakes

Nearly perfect! - Edit
Great choice of cake, as well as good coffee to hand drip by yourself. But you have to order right at the entrance which puts quite some pressure in your shoulders if you can't decide fast

Great! - Edit
Both and cake and tea was delicious. The Café has a beautiful esthetic and vibe. Relaxing indie/folk music as well. Perfect spot for a treat, to read a book, and to hide away from the rain.
