This is good for bread only

There aren’t many vegan options unless you are looking for plain bread!! If you want bread- go here! If you want fun pastries, this isn’t the place.

Scant options

I had expectations since this place had been favorited but was confused when I got there. There are a couple of breads, overpriced for the size, and that's it.

If you're vegan and a tourist, don't go out of your way to come here. If I was a local and had a hankering for vegan bread, sure I'd occasion this place a few times a year.

Rare spot to get bread in Japan

This is really just a place for vegans to get bread - the sweet options aren’t suitable, but there are various types of bread that are suitable, all allergens clearly labelled so you can avoid the pesky milk that plagues 99% of Japanese bread. There are also a small number of other items to go with the bread, like jam, peanut butter, olive spread and basil pesto. None of it’s cheap though. #Veganuary

Think of it as special occasion bread - it’s way too expensive for everyday eating!

Limited accidentally vegan options

Allergens are really clear but out of the dozens of items, only a couple of breads don't have egg or milk. The bread was fresh, but I would have liked more options and something in the cafe. Prices were quite expensive. We got raisin bread, corn bread, and focaccia - they were nice but didn't taste like the versions we were used to! They also had a large baguette I'd have liked to try.

All products have allergen labeling in English

All products have allergen labeling in English, so it's easy to tell if it's summer or vegetarian. But there were no vegan desserts, I only found bread with raisins (which was good). And to order drinks, the separate cafeteria counter is only open from 10am to 5pm.

Delicious but pricy

A great variety of European-style bread that satisfied my German cravings for savoury seedy bread after not having been home for months. I also spent a lot of money on various spreads. It was great to find basil pesto without cheese, dried tomato spread and Ratatouille sold as a spread. A great little escape from Japanese food if needed.

They also have a bunch of sweet options that I did not feel like trying. Note that the almond butter here contains almonds only, no dairy (as the Himeji specialty would).

Pros: Allergens clearly labelled in English, Many vegan options for a Japanese bakery

Cons: Pricy
