Cute comfortable place - Edit
Being in the area after a short visit of Higashi hongan temple, we were looking for a vegan lunch and were happy to find this small, inviting place nearby. Even for not overly loving cats people I recommend going there, as everything is prepared and presented with care. The curry was delicious and very very cute :3.

So so good - Edit
Amazing food at a great price, 1000 yen for a lunch. Filling and would definitely go back. Really nice owner and cool cat vibe.

Cute place - Edit
Nice to stop for a drink or a light meal/cake, wouldn’t make a detour for it unless you are really into collecting cat things. There’s a little shop too selling little souveniers and some vegan food items.

Nothing too special - Edit
Friendly staff and good tea and cake but I expected a bit more from the place itself. Felt a bit too messy for me.

Cute little café - Edit
Honestly I expected more from this café. A bit too messy for my taste (a lot a things everywhere but at the same time I did not see that many cats?!). The banana ricecake I had was very good and also beautifully presented. The tea was also good (I had matcha and my partner had black tea) and organic. The staff was a very friendly man. So it was okay in total but I expected more.

So cute! - Edit
We stopped here in the early evening for a snack after eyeing it for a few days on happy cow. We each got a pita with veggies and a falafel, and some sake. We looked around at the cute cat merchandise, and then talked to the proprietor for a while. Really nice guy who loves cats.

Cute place, friendly staff - Edit
We enjoyed stopping at this very cute place for an afternoon snack. I had the veggie pita. It wasn’t fancy, but it was tasty and satisfying. The proprietor came and chatted with us, and he was friendly and funny, even with the language barrier. We all showed off our cat photos. 😸

A very cute and cosy cafe/shop with tasty vegan food and goodies. I brought my own aluminium take away container because I was on the go and the friendly staff were happy to fill it up with their curry (also couldn’t go past the chocolate cake). I’m in Japan long term so was excited to see organic peanut butter, apple cider vinegar and other nik naks for sale as well.

So good - Edit
I stopped here after walking 17 miles around Kyoto and it was perfect. The owner was really nice and the food was delicious. The menu was set for the day and I order the dinner pita (pita, lettuce and veggie patty) and the dessert pita (peanut butter and banana pita). Also, yes, I ordered 2 meals... I walked 17 miles so I deserved it. IT WAS AMAZING! Also, I ordered some rose petal black tea and loved that as well. Also, I love cats so all the kitten merchandise was a welcome site.

Nice little tea cafe with vegan store - Edit
Nice little cafe with a large selection of different teas (not just Japanese) and a store with various vegan foods (Lara bars, gummy candies, sauces, etc.) and some knick-knacks. Prices in the cafe are very reasonable, but food items in the store can generally be purchased for much cheaper online if you're going to be in Japan for a while.
Read moreI ordered a soy chai with rum flavour and a piece of chocolate cake. No complaints about the drink. The flavour of the cake was nice, but it was rather dry.
Pros: Prices in the cafe are fair, Friendly staff, Large selection of tea
Cons: Store is expensive, Chocolate cake was dry

Lovely - Edit
Easy to find, the owner speaks good english, its a very small menu but all vegan. We had the salad pita and curry (which comes with a small side salad) for lunch, both delicious! The curry was like a dahl and the pita had some kind of potato falafel things inside. We then had a slice of chocolate cake which was also nice. The cinamon tea was exquisite. They also have wine and sake.

Cozy Cafe - Edit
I spent a couple hours here, drinking tea and eating cake. It's more of a teahouse than restaurant, with the food offered serving better to accompany the tea than as a meal. Still definitely worth a visit.

Great, but small portions - Edit
We came here to try the pita sandwiches for lunch. We each got one order, and when they came out we realized they were much tinier than we had thought. One order comes with two halves of a sandwich, filled with some veggies and a fried croquette-like thing (not falafel) in each half. We finished our own orders and realized we were still hungry because they were so small, so we had to order one more sandwich to share. Because of this, this place is actually more expensive than it seems when you take into account that you'll probably need to order more food to fill yourself up. Though it's still not too expensive.
Read moreA few nice touches:
- I ordered a cup of hot tea, which the owner refilled for free after we ordered the third sandwich.
- He provided a really nice hot sauce with the sandwiches.
- He gave us information about a vegan market/festival/event that was coming up in a few weeks.
Pros: Really tasty.
Cons: Small portions.

Vegan Delights - Edit
Nice and affordable home-made vegan lunches and treats, and they also sell some organic herbal teas and have loads of cat paraphernalia. When I was there they had a cat photo exhibition which was organised by a local artist who made cat ornaments (the ornaments are available for purchase). The owners are the nicest people I’ve met in Japan (possibly the world) and really made my Kyoto trip that much more amazing. Worth stopping by for lunch or even just a quick afternoon tea.

Cute cafe with delicious food - Edit
We came here today for a late lunch. I had the pita sandwich which was very tasty. It was quite small but ok for the price (¥700). My boyfriend had the veggie curry which he declared the best curry he’s had in Japan (and we’ve been here over three weeks!). It was wonderfully flavourful and not too spicy. It came with a drink (we chose the aromatic tulsi tea) included in price (¥1000). The owner understood English and was very friendly. I also enjoyed the selection of the cute cat-related souvenirs. Sadly, we’re leaving Kyoto tomorrow morning, otherwise we’d definitely be back.

lovely ❤️ - Edit
The food is delicious and made with love, they have a few sandwiches and cakes in the food menu. We got a peanut butter and banana pita, a pita with something like a vegan patty and hot chocolate to drink in a reallyyyy cold day and it was sooooo good and filling! We enjoyed it very much. Also, the owner is so kind and nice, I wish I could stay longer in Tokyo just to visit this place again.
