It was alright

It was alright.
The deserts was decent but not for the price point they were being sold.

Pros: Staff, Place

Cons: Price

Super yummy!

Very nice staff and delicious sweets! We got the matcha tofu cake, chocolate tofu cake, seasonal grape tart, and a couple of ice cream sandwiches. Everything was so good!

Cozy with tasty cakes

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.

The 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

Yum!

Amazing offerings and amazing that it's gluten free too! I had an ice cream sandwich, which was small but oh so refreshing and tasty on a hot day!!

Cute vegan bakery in Kyoto

Cute bakery 100% vegan close to the Togetsukyo bridge. They had a great selection of vegan cakes - it was a great location as the bakery was close to our hotel.

Naturally had to order 3 different cakes - they were all delicious.

I love it

The cakes are DELICIOUS~ ended up eating 3 different kinds because everything was so good! Can only recommend if you are a cake lover as well. They also have ice cream sandwiches !
They don’t have cafe latte on their menu, but if you ask you can get a small can of soy milk with your americano ~

Lots of choices!

Their coffee was delicious!
But my chestnut tart didn’t have much flavor.🥹 Maybe I just took a wrong one.🥹

vegan ICE CREAM !!!!

When I have the chance to get vegan ice cream (other than sorbet) I usually take it. And this place is 100% vegan.
I 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

Ice and cake delicious

It was hard to decide because it looked all so good!
We’ve finally chosen the sandwich icecream: strawberry and matcha, both great.
And the Japanese water chestnut cake (for breakfast the next morning😜)
Wish we would have such a café in Germany next to us. 💕

Pros: Tasty, Lots of choices, Nice staff

Nearly perfect!

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!

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.

Relaxing atmosphere

Peach tart was fantastic! They only give you a small amount of milk for your coffee but other than that I really enjoyed it!

Super sweet bakery

The cake and tea is super delicious. You can get a set which is a piece of cake and a drink for 1000 yen, which is a super fair good price :)

One of the best chocolate cakes I’ve had

The tofu chocolate cake was delicious. So creamy. It came with a small scoop of ice cream. A must if you’re in the area

Vegan cake

They are vegan, so that’s a plus. The cakes were fine. I tried to order a glass of hot plant based milk I was craving for but that wasn’t possible. I think however they must have plant based milk for coffee latte. I ordered tea, but it was undrinkable because when it arrived there’s a giant tea bag already in the tea. By the time I got the tea and noticed it was undrinkable strong and bitter. The Rooibos is a better choice… Must be OK if you immediately take care of the tea bag; my attention was on the cake and the plates everyone received.

Saved the day

There aren't so much options in Arashiyama area and this place is open until later than restaurants. The cherry cake was good and the place is beautiful, with a really big window that let you enjoy the sight of the street.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Not so many options

Best vegan cakes ever!

We got the matcha cheesecake, chocolate cake and strawberry tart cheesecake, and all of them were to die for! Would have come back for seconds if we spent more time nearby 😍

Amazing cake

Probably the best cake I've had, it was the tofu chocolate cake. Not too sweet, cold so yummy. I decided to take it away as it was basically half the price to take away. Definitely have to try if you are at the Forrest/ monkeys.

Best chocolate cake ever

Probably the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had! Most of their cakes are tofu based, and just have just the right amount of sweetness. The place is really cute with lots of space and plants
