One of the best places in Japan!

We ordered 2 sets with plant based scrambled tofu and a peanut butter toast and to drink hot cocoa and cafe latte. Everything was delicious, freshly made and served with a smile! The staff is beyond friendly, you feel welcomed! Price totally fair for what you get, made with organic high quality ingredients and also homemade peanut butter. Highly recommended!!! :)

Amazing!

A great place to visit if you are vegan or even if you aren’t vegan. Family run business with very friendly service and great food. Tofu scramble toast was perfect and tofu was home made. Matcha and coffee were both great too. Definitely worth stopping by to get a great breakfast

Pros: Tofu scramble, Family run business , Friendly English speaking staff

Very kind indeed :)

Absolutely lovely family-run business - you know how hard it can be to get breakfast in Japan sometimes, and the kind really prides itself in making things from scratch😄

I got to try all 3 sandwiches, the egg one was my favourite!

Best vegan scramble!

Probably the best vegan scramble I have ever had. This cafe is run by a mum and her daughters who both studied in the UK so they are all fluent in English and absolutely love to chat to. There is also a vegan organic store connected to the cafe which is great for getting some vegan snacks if you’re travelling around Japan.

Sweet staff

The staff were sooo lovely!
I got the egg toast with chia pudding. It was really expensive for the amount of food but i understand it’s like an organic place and stuff!
It was good😄

5* service and food!!!

Not only was the breakfast amazing, the service was wonderful. I ordered the amazake and had a lovely explanation. It was fantastic. I went for the egg set and my wife had the mushroom/hummus set and we split them. Both were as good as each other. Definitely coming back

Cozy breakfast

We had a lovely breakfast here. You can tell they’re super proud of their food, and they’re very friendly and kind. The tofu eggs were silky, and the seeded bread was yummy. A great breakfast option

Wonderful!

Small place with nice modern decor.
Very lovely friendly mother and daughter who are passionate about their vegan food.
Food was brought out super quick.
Had a very tasty scrambled tofu with black salt, berry smoothie, and a soy latte. All delicious. My only complaint was I would’ve loved a bigger portion :)

Gives me the warm fuzzies supporting all vegan businesses where I can. They are so grateful for your business.

Tasty breakfast

Today we went there for breakfast, we chose toast with vegan egg, sweet toast with peanut paste, jam and banana, hot chocolate and latte with oat milk. The hostess is a very nice woman, the peanut butter for toast was fresh, as there is also a healthy snack shop in the next room. The food was great, the coffee was wonderful, although I have never seen bad coffee in Japan, they accept credit cards. The menu is quite small, but it is quite enough for breakfast.

A perfectly quant breakfast from a very sweet mother-daughter duo

When we arrived a couple minutes before they opened at 8am, we were greeted by the owner who let us take a seat while her and her daughter finished preparing to open. Love that it’s a mother-daughter duo. They were both so lovely and friendly!

We ordered the following:
- Plant Based Egg Set which comes with a small lentil soup, quinoa salad, and chia pudding (which happened to be apple cinnamon although the seasonal ingredients change)
- Organic Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam & Banana Toast
- hot chocolate with oat milk
- banana muffin (to-go)
- peanut butter banana oatmeal cookie (to-go)

Everything was delicious and so thoughtfully assembled! I was pleasantly surprised by the plant based egg texture and flavor that was made of tofu. The owner can provide additional black salt if you’re looking for more “egg” flavoring. The peanut butter on the toast was freshly made which was reflected in the rich texture and flavor.

Also, check out their store with various locally sourced vegan snacks and ingredients next door!

So wish I could come back again, but so glad I could experience it on my last day in Kyoto

Make sure you come here for breakfast!

Not many places open in time for an early is breakfast but this place does. I’d suggest arriving early to get a table. It was very busy when we arrived at 9:30 and we waited a short time for a table. I ordered the “egg” toast with a chia pudding and a smoothie. They brought out the pepper to make the tofu have that “eggy “ taste and it was delicious. The bread was delicious too. I love bread with seeds in it. The chia pudding was nice too. My partner had the peanut butter and strawberry jam toast with a side of chia pudding. He also had an oat milk hot chocolate which he enjoyed. The smoothie was nice too. Everything was nicely presented, the cafe looks nice and there is a bulk foods shop too. I just bought some chocolate as I’m finding vegan chocolate hard to source here.

Lovely staff even though they were very busy.

Wonderful breakfast and lovely place

The plant based egg toast and the mushroom toast were so good, and with them you can take the set menù with lentil soup, salad and chia pudding (I don't known if it is always the same or if it changes every day). In addition we took a cookie and a muffin. Everything was incredible! The place is really lovely and the owner is very very nice and kind.
Highly recommended!!!

Best breakfast spot!

If you're looking for somewhere to start your early morning right this is the spot! One of the few vegan breakfast spots and the food is clearly made with love! It's delicious and the people who run it are incredibly welcoming!

Organic healthy breakfast spot

Such a cute spot with a great healthy breakfast. higher end of the prices around but you can tell it's great quality organic ingredients and a lot of love goes into the place. Also has an organic bulk top up shop attached for extra bits to buy.

Lovely food and hosts

We tried the mushroom set and avocado set for breakfast, with soy milk lattes. Good breakfast food and the hosts were incredibly sweet people.
