Very good - Edit
The place is nice and the food was good (although I wish there were a few more options in the menu), they also have some homemade drinks like lemonade, and also some baked goods for dessert.

Yummy breakfast - Edit
We were the only guests for an early weekday breakfast. They have four breakfast options and some baked goods.
Read moreWe got the BLT with tempeh which was great, maybe the best we ever had. And also the Banana and Peanut butter bread, also very tasty.
We also had a piece of banana cake which was probably still from the day before and was a little dry and crumbly.
The view is great! But it can also get hot, when the sun is beating through the windows.

Worth the walk! - Edit
We walked for what seemed a very long 20 mins from tofukugi station in the 35 degree (celsius) heat to this cafe. I can happily say it was worth it! Lovely airy place next to the river with lovely views and a temple opposite. Fully vegan and English speaking wait staff. I had a Buddha bowl and my hubby had a tempeh BLT, both were excellent. Lovely and cool in here too! Dessert on offer as well (two types of muffin or blueberry tart today). Offers different coffee blends too, all can be iced or hot. Even has a stack of vinyl to set a chilled atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

breakfast grilled vegetables and tempeh sandwich - ❤️ - Edit
went for breakfast, friendly and smiling staff, beautiful people, view of nature from the window! I liked the soy milk, grilled vegetable sandwich and tempeh sandwich. Tempeh is a bit like cheese

Amazing Location and Good, Healthy Meal - Edit
The restaurant is on the Kamo River and has a beautiful view and a nice, little herb garden outside the window. I got the veg out plate, which had lentils, chickpeas, rice, Japanese pumpkin, falafel, mashed potatoes, and an assortment of other vegetables. Overall, great variety, and most of the offerings were very good. The potato, leek soup appetizer was amazing!

Nice river view cafe with good food - Edit
I had the buddha bowl, my friends had the curry set with cake. Very light food, which is great compared to the usually pretty heavy cuisine in Japan. The cakes looked great as well

Incorrect hours :( - Edit
We walked 40 minutes to get breakfast here, only to find out they were only open for takeout drinks and desserts. Their instagram says they are open in the mornings for breakfast, but it seems that they just close randomly whenever, so be careful if you plan on coming here. We ended up getting a slice of blueberry cake to go, which was pretty good, but it was still disappointing that we couldn’t try their breakfast.

Good and fresh food - Edit
Small place, a little bit hip, but moderate. The food was really good and fresh. The View over the River with the hill in the Back is great.

Arrive early - Edit
Food is good but nothing outstanding. They open at 11:30am for lunch, we arrived a few minutes before that and lined up. By 11:33am the place was already full.

A few options - Edit
We went to veg out for breakfast, they had three options, all toast: avocado, banana or vegetable. We had the avocado and banana and while they were yummy, they were smaller portions and quite simple. My boyfriend got the macha coffee which was a little milkier than he would have preferred. The actual location is really nice and it's a good option to have in a pinch, but more variety would have been good.

Tasty - Edit
We popped in here for breakfast but I wish it had been lunch just so we had a free more options. I had a BLT which used tempeh and was delicious. The coffee was also good
