Good coffee, dry desserts - Edit
The staff was very friendly. We had the walnut banana cake and an iced latte with soy milk. Tasty, but the cake was dry.

Affordable and delicious! - Edit
Cheap and delicious! Has two vegan sandwich options (just be sure to ask for it vegan). We had the tofu rice "burger," which is a large slab of tofu between two rice 'buns.' It's not large, but only 800 yen, so priced right for the size. Also the soy matcha latte was the best ever! Very strong and creamy.

A calm lunch with vegan fried tofu riceburgers - Edit
We both had the fried tofu riceburger, which can be veganized upon request. (My boyfriend is vegan, I'm vegetarian)
Read moreThe riceburger was delicious and also beautiful to look at, because of the fresh and colourful vegetables!
They also have drinks with plantbased milk.
It's a light and quiet restaurant in the very busy and touristy neighbourhood of the bamboo forest and temples. It was nice to step out of the busy streets and have a restful lunch here :)
Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff and good service, Inexpensive

Perfect find in a tourist trap area - Edit
After visiting the monkeys and the bamboo forest with the maddening crowds, stumbling into this cafe-come-restaurant was the perfect antidote. Had never had a rice burger before but was very happy to try and it was delicious. Didn’t even know it was on HappyCow, but a serendipitous find led to a tasty late lunch.

Strange taste - Edit
I prefer organic and safe food. So for me, the vegan burger had complex flavors. It left a bad aftertaste. People have different tastes, so I'm sure there are some people who will find this rice burger delicious. I didn't try it, but I think the vegan sandwich is probably a safe bet. I appreciate the vegan options available.

Rico y contundente - Edit
Buen ambiente, linda decoración, baños limpios, personal amable. Con respecto a la comida, es una buena opción, comí un sandwich con tofu y era rico y contundente. Mi acompañante no es vegana y pidió un cheesecake que le agradó bastante
