Not many vegan options

This didn’t have any vegan options to eat in really (not sure if it was the day we came in) but did have some vegan breads to take away but no vegan desserts etc so be mindful - we expected more options!

Clearly labeled vegan food and yummy coffee!

Good service and food was fresh out of the oven; there was only two vegan options but both were delicious and the coffee was absolutely brilliant

Pros: Coffee , Vegan options , Clearly labeled

Cons: Limited

Definitely worth a visit

We went in around opening, and all the bread was hot, soft and delicious!! All allergens clearly marked. We shared a fig bread, a candied orange bagel, a rice bread roll with raisins and a brown rice roll with sesame. All were yummy, esp the brown rice roll with sesame and the candied orange bagel. We ended up taking some soy pulp crackers and nut cookies to go for later - both also yummy!

Pros: Hot, soft bread, Allergens clearly marked, Owner speak English

Cons: Not too many vegan options, Pod coffee

Bakery, but no cold cuts or spreads

Great bakery products. Clearly labelled.
Recommended to take away though such that you can prepare a decent sandwich and don't have to eat a dry bread or bun.

Most delicious food

They had clearly labelled sandwiches indicating if they contained any meat or seafood, which I appreciated as a vegetarian.
The sandwiches (containing cheese and egg) were fresh and tasty.
There are many options for vegetarians in particular. The baked goods are particularly delicious.

Pros: Clear labelling, Fresh, Friendly staff

Bakery with vegan options

Everything is clearly labeled, and they have quite a few vegan options. It was easy to order, and the bread was delicious. Staff spoke English, too.

Pros: Great bread, Nice atmosphere , Friendly staff

Great but very limited choice

I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. I had a vegan orange bagel that was truly delicious, but other than that there was basically very few vegan alternatives.

I wouldn't normally take an issue with this if it wasn't for the fact that they advertise themselves as "vegan and organic bakery", while most of their stuff has milk / cheese / egg.

The soy latte was nice, but perhaps a bit expensive.

Pros: Glorious orange bagel

Cons: Very limited vegan choice

Finally some baked goods 😁

Everything is clearly labeled and there's a bunch of vegan options from plain bread to chocolate chip cookies. I had the champagne fig bun, a small raisin rice bun and said cookies 🤤 there's tea and coffee with soy milk as well and the lady that runs the shop is super lovely!

Nice place and tasty sweets

Cute bakery, nice people inside, with a good choice of vegan stuff.
I tasted an orange bagel and a fluffy sweet bread, both very good.

Plenty of vegan options

Close to Nijo castle, plenty of vegan pastries and soy lattes. I got a champagne and fig roll and soy latte for breakfast and brown rice and sesame roll for the road. They also had vegan French bread and cookies and other rolls. Everything vegan is clearly labeled. Very reasonably priced

not much selection but good bread (not german style tho)

ngl i was also curious because the name is german but definitely no german bread here haha ) i saw on the pictures here that they offer pastries so i went there but the only vegan stuff were plain bread which i felt a bit stupid at first eating blank without anything on it BUT!! it was really tasty even without anything so i’m not mad!:D (and i was hungry) the coffee was also good - got some toast bread as well which is a bit pricey (500 yen for half 厅)

Amazing

Tried vegan and non-vegan options. Salt bread with sweet red bean paste was yummy. Also tried salt bread with sweet potato… both vegan. These were the two main vegan options available when we went. There was also plain breads. Some in group also tried non vegan options like seasonal veg pizza bread with white sauce, also delicious. Enough for a big snack or small lunch for vegan.

Nice rolls

I really liked the bread rolls here. I came late in the afternoon and they still had a selection of vegan rolls, bagels, baguettes, and loaves of bread.

Good

They have a few vegan options but too far and between. The great bun was nice but that’s the only really deviation from normal bread that I saw but they are plenty of non vegan variants available, which is a shame.

Cons: A hand full of options

Yummy

The bakery alpenrose has the friendliest employes i ever met. They were so welcoming! We had breakfast there and also took some yummy Bread with us. I think they had 1 or 2 options, that weren‘t vegetarian.

Very good bread

The shop was almost closing, so i was expecting to buy the leftovers. But the flavour was really surprising. The bread was moist and so fresh. You can really taste it is home-made bread. I had a green bun with bean filling. Looking forward to buy something tomorrow again.

So much vegan bread!

A cute bakery with a huge variety of clearly labeled vegan breads. We bought quite a few of them, and every single one was excellent! The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because it is not 100% vegan. Maybe they should consider it.

Cons: Not fully vegan
