Just... wow! - Edit
This was our first stop in Kyoto. After seeing amazing looking sweet buns and breads all over Tokyo, we had to get our hands on some vegan ones. We walked in and it was heaven. Buns EVERYWHERE. We had 5 or 6 large buns (that were heated up for us) with a latte and green tea latte. Each bun was phenomenal. We had one with mushrooms and onions, one stuffed with delicious curry vegetables, one with sweet red bean paste in it... and so many more. We also got to go items, including cookies and more buns. The inside of the bakery is beautiful and spacious, the kind of place you could bring a book and spend hours. Staff were extraordinarily nice and explained what was in the buns. This has been one of the best experiences of our trip, don’t miss it.

Disappointed - Edit
We took a train to the north of kyoto just to go here only to find that it was closed even though it was 1pm within opening hours on a friday. We were looking forward to going here after reading great reviews and were very disappointed (and hungry) when we found it to be closed. There was no sign to explain the closure and we even waited a while to see if it opened. Thank god we found Falafel Garden just around the corner to fix our hunger.

Delicious Bread! Matcha Latte - Edit
I loved this cozy bread shop. I tried a variety of their breads and all were delicious. I also had the matcha latte (it is hard to find this with soy milk other places) and the hot cocoa. The drinks were a little too sweet, but still high quality and tasty. I highly recommend visiting here a few times : ) This is a nice area of Kyoto to get away from the busy streets. The staff is also extremely friendly.

Incredible food and amazing staff - Edit
Vegan bread is tricky to come across in Japan, so I was so excited when I saw Apelila on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint. We chose a selection of buns and cakes, some to take away and some to have in the bakery's cafe section. The baker was friendly and lovely, and she gave us freshly made soy cream (which she makes in the bakery herself) and strawberries to have with our cake. It was delicious food and a really charming experience to shop and eat there.

Stock Up Here! - Edit
We all know that being vegan in Japan can be challenging, and even though Kyoto is the vegan capital of Japan (if not of all of Asia) it can still be difficult to find food between meals, or for breakfast if you can't make it to Cafe Choice.
Read moreSo I highly recommend stocking up at Apelia on goods to take hiking or just walking around Kyoto. It's all baked fresh and feels natural and healthy, so guess it won't last more than a couple of days, so next time I come to Kyoto I'll stock up here as often as needed, and more for wherever I go the next time.
Pros: vegan baking, friendly and welcoming staff and interior, delicious!!!

delicious vegan baked goods in Kyoto - Edit
I went here on a recommendation, and didn't realise at first but EVERYTHING is vegan! It's such a cute shop, and they have so much to try. I got the red bean bun and a couple of flavoured loaves. Amazing!

Great vegan bakery in Kyoto - Edit
So glad to have found this place! Vegan bread can be very hard to find in Japan, and this lovely little bakery has it all. The types of bread they have differ depending on the day, but they mainly focus on sweet and savoury buns like an-pan, custard-pan, cheese + pumpkin pan etc. Would definitely recommend.
