Café Douce

Personnel très agréable. Nous avons pris le curry végé et le riz à l'omelette qui étaient délicieux. Le personnel parle anglais et sera vous renseigner sur la composition des plats.

Cute little cafe, great coffee

Great spot near the open air museum. I enjoyed the curry and the sorbet, but the highlight was the siphon coffee. Absolutely fantastic

Small cafe with friendly staff

Food is ok - as mentioned the curry is vegan. One of the desserts that is part of the vegetarian set menu is a vegan sherbet .
The owners are nice and are able to answer questions re: what’s in the food.

Good Stop at a hiking tour

Simpel small Restaurant with simple food. The owners (husband and wife I guess) are friendly and speaking a good english. The Food is alright and cheap, just 1350 Yen for menu set (small salad, meal, drink and dessert).

Veg (vegan) curry

Basic meal and only the one option however as vegans reading this post would know, options are hard to come by in Hakone prefecture. Curry was tasty and owners/staff were lovely and accommodating. 🌱✌

Simple, fast, and delicious

Ordered when we sat down and food came very quickly. Ordered:
Vegetarian set (curry, grape sorbet - not sherbet - OJ)
Vegetarian set (spaghetti in tomato sauce, peach jelly, OJ)
All tasted good. Grated hard cheese and tobasco were provided for the spaghetti.

Good to stop by after the open air museum before catching a bus!

Seems to be run by an elder couple. The gent seems to have decent English!

Pros: Nice set menu for vegetarian, Very reasonable price, Some English spoken

Life saver

Thank goodness for this place as there is not much else around. My vegan curry was tasty and the set meal was pretty good value. The owners were friendly. Went here because the sushi shop next door was closed for no reason.

Pros: Three vegan options, Reasonably good value

Cons: Interior could be improved

Simple cafe with veg and vegan options

Small very simple place with a strange menu including naan pizzas, “hamburger soup”, “spaghetti with ketchup” and curry and rice.

There is a vegetarian curry and rice as well as a meat option. I don’t speak japanese, but asked if it was vegetarian with no meat stock etc in english and the owner said it was. When it arrived it looked much darker than my husbands meat curry and rice so I don’t think it was from the same stock. The curry contained soy mince and some small bits of carrot and onion. It was fine, tasty enough.

The interior of the cafe is not great - not a place for lingering - but friendly owners and a couple of vegan options on the menu, so I can’t complain!

I think there were 2 vegan options - curry rice or spaghetti with tomato sauce (rather than ketchup, I assume) and also omelette for veggies if you eat eggs.

We only went here because Kappei Sushi nearby was closed at 1pm as ‘the rice had sold out’.
