Vegetarian cafe turned vegan in 2014. The lunch menu consists of a few set meals plus baked goods and espresso drinks. Menu includes bagel with hummus, risotto, salad, curry, soup, and vegan cakes. Emphasis is slow food using local produce. Quiet for the noisy Shinsaibashi area, on a side street off of the main drag. Cafe is located on the second floor, above a shop currently under renovation. Last orders 5pm. 2014年にベジタリアンからヴィーガンカフェに変わりました。ランチメニューにはセットでおかずやパンなどのメイン、ドリンクなどを選ぶことが出来ます。 フムスとベーグルのセット、リゾット、サラダ、カレー、スープまたケーキなどがあります。またスローフードを利用しているのも特徴です。心斎橋筋商店街から少し抜ければ、しばし都会の喧噪を忘れることができます。カフェは2階にあります。 ラストオーダーは17時。 Reported closed, Dec 2019.

No money for coffee - Edit
I went there because I was craving some cake and coffee. I wasn't expecting it to be cheap but the prices really surpised me. I had to choose between the cake and the coffee and of course I went for the cake. It was really tasty! nice flavour and texture but very, very small for the price. I understand that some products are more expensive in Japan but it shocked me.
Read moreI can see that a lot of people like the place so maybe I will try to go again.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: Expensive, Small portions

Lunch - Edit
Came here after finding out first vegan option closed. The selection was limited as there were only 3 items offered during lunch and one was sold out. Had the vegan spice curry which came with a side salad and a small orange juice. I also had desperate which was good but very small for the price. This place is pricey we spent about $50 cdn for two people. The food was ok I was unimpressed with the limited food selection.

Delicious!! - Edit
All the food here tastes fresh, the salad was so nice and crunchy, and staff is super nice. I loved the bread as it's hard to come by vegan bread in Japan and it was made just to my taste. Also, perfect location for a Dotonbori day :)
Read morePros: Amazing bread, fresh juices, nice ambiencd
Cons: You see one of these sad petshops from the window

breakfast was only okay - Edit
We went for breakfast which ended up being nothing special. I had a look at the lunch menu before we left and it looked more interesting that I wish we'd gone for that instead.

Delicious Breakfast - Edit
This Cafe is a wonderful place to have a breakfast in with average prices.
Read moreThe place itself is very welcoming, clean and atmospheric.
The food is very delicious and filling, with a variety of three breakfast sets in the morning.
The Cafe is run by a young couple which are very welcoming and nice to talk to.
Aside from food they some sell some Japanese books (Mostly cookbooks) and Organic Ingredients.
Pros: Vegan, Environmental, Affordable

Japanese Rice Tofu Set - Edit
Location is great on a quiet street opposite Zundoya Ramen at Shinsaibashi. Cafe is managed by a couple. They seem offering different menu daily, written on a blackboard. I ordered Japanese rice set. There is tofu in miso sauce nicely done, plenty vegetables, mushroom, and miso pumpkin soup is nice. The only drawback is the soymeat which I think is mock meat. Soy latte was great too!
Read morePros: Cozy environment, Location, Healthy food
Cons: Would better to avoid mock meat

No proper black coffee - Edit
Don't come here, if you want a simple good black coffee. They sell various coffee specialities but only coffee 'americano'. The breakfast is rather good (fresh bread, salad and fruit(s)).
Read moreA japanese dish is also available.

Very limited menu - Edit
There are only 3 choices here, and some sweets. I am very disappointed. It’s expensive for just a piece of bread, a banana and some orange juice

Never open - Edit
I walked for 20 mins for the past two days to this cafe. It says on happy cow and on google that it’s open but it hasn’t been twice now. Really disappointing that it’s not put online somewhere that they’re closed.

One of my favs! - Edit
I really loved this place. Nice relaxing atmosphere, quick service and lovely staff. I got the curry set and a raw cheesecake and all were divine, even the side salad. The cheesecake was my favourite, so so good!

Let's make lunch great again - Edit
Have you seen that movie about summer loving? Not the one with John Travolta but with Patrick Swayze. In the scene where he's practicing in the river, its ambiguent how the coin is going to flip, is this heading for a happy go lucky storybook ending or is something gonna hit the fan and make everybody leave the cinema crying? Well, none of that at ATL; it was just great. I was being looked at by a giant monkey choking a little dog, but even that couldn't distract my taste papillas from cheering all along the way. I give this place my two vegan thumbs up for great cooking in a busy rural area. Like LL cool J said it best: ' now where are you gonna get that kind of loving for a decent price?!'. Great place to eat!

Bonsoy here - Edit
For all Melbourne vegan out there visiting Japan you would find it weird not seeing Bonsoy in Japan, especially Osaka where it comes from. Luckily cafe Alt have you covered. Added bonus is good vegan food as well! Only downside is that its opposite a big pet store so will have to see dogs and cats in cages.
Read morePros: Bonsoy
Cons: Opposite dog store

Lovely atmosphere - Edit
Options are a few set menus. Good size portions and prices all sat at ¥1500 which is fair given the quality produce. Is was delicious too😄my only preference would be to have options for each element of the set as i would have like to mix and match😄
Read moreCons: Small menu

安定のおいしさ - Edit
心斎橋は人ごみなので行きたくないのですが、ATLがあるから行きます。というくらい好きです。ここは「しょっぱいお店」でも「メリハリのないブラウンフードの店」でもありません。塩分は多すぎず優しい味わいながら、素材が活きており、飽きさせないです。また、ソイラテホットは必ず一度試すべきです。

Just go! - Edit
Very cute all-vegan restaurant in downtown Osaka. One of our favorite stops on our entire trip to Japan. We went for lunch and had an excellent Japanese-style curry set menu, which was also gluten free. Flavorful cooking with fresh ingredients, friendly service, and convenient location. Definitely check this place out if you are spending time in Osaka!
