Delicious vegan eatery - Edit
This place is a hidden gem close to Stay Sakura hotel not far from Kyoto station. I was overjoyed to find a vegan restaurant where everything is 'safe' to eat which can be tricky in Japan. It's a simple menu with a few dishes done well. We enjoyed the mock egg sandwiches (indistinguishable from real egg), curry, sushi and vegan chocolate cake, iced coffee and fresh pineapple juice. A little on the pricey side for the portion sizes, but I believe this just reflects the cost of the quality vegan ingredients which may not be as easy to come by in Japan. Our server was lovely and friendly too. I would recommend this place to any vegetarians or vegans staying in the area!
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Amazing mock egg sandwiches
Cons: A little pricey for portion size

Delishious Japanese curry - Edit
We visited this cafe just arriving in Kyoto, it was lunch time and the lunch menu was available, we tried Japanese curry and rolls with vegetables, as well as soy meat. The rolls were quite simple, miso soup and various small snacks were served with them. I really liked the curry. Credit cards are accepted, the staff is very friendly.

Amazing vegan food & friendly staff - Edit
This was really one of our best vegan dinners in Japan. The staff was so so friendly and sweet! They deserve 5 stars!
Read moreWe have tasted a lot of the menu; the curry, cauliflower wings, the kurumafu pieces, chocolate cake and the banana caramel cake. Everything was delicious. The cauliflower wings were our favourites.

Great sandwiches - Edit
Had their egg sandwiches (tamagi sando) twice while in Kyoto, they’re super yummy and a rarity to find vegan bread options! The fried kurumafu was awesome too
Read moreFun to try their fruit sandwiches, sweet and tasty. I don’t get the fruit sandwich hype personally, but I was very happy to get to try at least once while in Japan as I didn’t see a vegan option anywhere else I went
The melonpan was a little dry on the bottom but the biscuity crust on top was good
Updated from previous review on 2024-10-27
Pros: Egg sandwich , Fried kurumafu, Great service
Cons: Can be hard to find

Lovely cauliflower fritters - Edit
We were first to arrive for dinner which was lucky as several people followed and eventually it was full! We ordered cauliflower fritters to share which were delicious. The batter and the sauce served with it were perfect. We both ordered the shojin curry which we enjoyed. The flavour of the curry was perfect.
Read moreWe then ordered a chocolate cake and a caramel banana cake. We were expecting a chocolate cake the same as the ones we saw at the Osaka branch but it was very plain with no icing. It was nice but not what we expected. The caramel and banana one was lovely.
Staff were kind and they served us quickly.
MERCYVeganFactory
It sounds like you were lucky to arrive first for dinner, as many customers followed, and the restaurant eventually became full. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cauliflower fritters, appreciating both the flavor of the batter and the accompanying sauce. Additionally, we’re glad you found the shojin curry satisfying and enjoyed its flavors.
Read moreRegarding dessert, we understand you ordered the chocolate cake and the caramel banana cake. We apologize that the chocolate cake was different from what you expected, as it was simpler without icing compared to the cakes you saw at the Osaka branch. However, we’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the caramel banana cake.
We will continue striving to deliver products that meet your expectations and improve our offerings. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Best bread - Edit
We went for the Japanese breakfast set which they unfortunately didn't have so I got the toast option instead. I usually don't like bread but this bread was amazing! They gave us some Japanese pear free of charge which was sweet, juicy and crisp. When we left they gave us ground coffee as a gift.

This is a cute cafe right by the train station, perfect for grabbing breakfast before travelling. We had the egg sandwich and the vegan toast which were both delicious. Unfortunately they didn’t have the breakfast set but understandable as they only opened a couple weeks ago. Would definitely come back to try that! They also gave us a present of some ground coffee!

Discovered Mercy Vegan Factory while on the hunt for dinner, and so glad we did! Some things were sold out from the main dinner menu but we were able to order some delicious items and were fully satisfied - egg salad sandwiches (YUM), fried kurumafu (also YUM but I think it was missing the sauce), and gimbap (YUM).
