Lovely food, very accommodating - Edit
The vegan pancakes with banana weren't on the menu, but they made them for us anyway. The vegetable sandwich was also good. The manner of the owner is very direct, but I feel this is due to lack of confidence in English, and the negative reviews here could be due to that, and also people not following Japanese customs (for example, someone came in for take away when we were there and started wandering around the cafe, and then we're not happy with the owners tone)

Nice little place - Edit
We stepped in to escape the heat outside, and the vegan ice cream was very nice and refreshing
Read moreWe also had vegan rum raisins cake that was delicious
Downside that we had to order a set with drink in order to sit inside, or else it was only take out
Overall, calm atmosphere, tasty food and clearly labelled vegan options

Cute, comfy little spot for coffee and sweets - Edit
We stepped in here on a rainy day on our way to start the Philosopher’s Path. We got a veggie sandwich, rum raisin banana pancakes (contains peanut butter and walnuts), 2 coffees and an AMAZING soy soft serve ice cream float, all vegan. It is delightfully high quality food in an area of the city no one seemed to be in at 1 in the afternoon.
Read moreThe soft serve float comes served on top of cubes of frozen fruit and alongside a bottle of soda water you pour in yourself. It was so delicious and refreshing just before a long walk. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try.

Clearly marked vegan options - Edit
English menu available, though I haven't found vegan pancakes or ice cream in it (which are advertised on signs outside). I ordered a cake and some ice cream. Cake was great. Ice cream was ok, but enough to satisfy my craving.

A cosy little cafe in a traditional neighborhood - Edit
I had the banana cake which was amazing. My girlfriend had the pancakes, which were just as impressive. Both came with an incredible vegan ice cream. Location is a bit far from center but it's worth it.
