amazing desserts - Edit
This place is a great pit stop in kamakura: we went for afternoon tea and treats and this place kills it. Pancakes, parfait - can confirm deliciousness. Everything looked great on the menu!

Best vegan cakes on the planet? - Edit
Ok so the first thing you need to know about Hal Cafe is that it's essentially a cake shop. If you don't fill up on cake here, my question to you is... why!? We go there as a couple and literally order every cake on the menu, then spend our afternoon working our way through them ;) They are Japanese cakes so are really light and airy, meaning that one almost certainly won't be enough, especially after you try them and see how good they are!
Read moreTop recommendations are the orange caramel chocolate-y one and the strawberry shortcake... although the chocolate cherry sponge I scoffed down this afternoon rates pretty high on the list too.
We still haven't made it to the 'food' menu, since the cake cabinet always gets our undivided attention. Will make it my mission to somehow find the willpower to try something other than a cake soon, but again.. the cake's definitely where it's all at!
Downsides are ambiance and the rather basic drink menu but the cakes are good enough to compensate.
You can of course do take-away too - they keep for a few days and taste almost just as great the next day, just store them in the fridge.
Pros: veganized Japanese cake, done to perfection, convenient location
Cons: ambiance, drink menu, not organic

Only OK doria, but great sweets! - Edit
The doria dish of the day tasted like chicken pot pie. It was only OK. My friend got the karage fried soy meat and she really enjoyed it! The crepes for dessert were more like pancakes, bit they were delicious!

Amazing!!!! - Edit
Must go! Simply decadent from the lunch sets to the desserts! My girlfriend and I just got the 'fried chicken' bowl which was so full of taste that it made up for its slightly smaller size, and a bowl of miso soup to start then finished with shortcake, a caramel pancake, and a crepe with ice cream! YOU HAVE TO VISIT HERE!
Read morePros: Fully vegan, also have grab and go, amazingly tast
Cons: kind of small portions, but for what you pay it
