Deliciously wonderful

Don't be fooled by the touristy location, this tiny place was a joy to visit. The owner is friendly and kind, the coffee is great (you can choose the beans for it), and the sweets are delicious. Be aware that there is no option to sit inside.

Please support the lady running this shop!

What can I say, we were heading to the cable car station after having had a substantial breakfast, but I couldn't resist trying her matcha donut... and it was the BEST DECISION EVER!
It was so yummy, and I didn't feel horrible after eating it, even though it wasn't particularly small!
But more importantly, the lady who runs this shop was so kind and sweet, and I love that she has the courage to run a business that promotes delicious AND guilt-free food in such a remote place.
So please, show her some love and get some of her products, I am sure you will not regret it :)

Pros: Amazing food, Conveniently located next to the station, The lady that runs the shop is really sweet!

Incredible !!!

It’s so hard to find vegan chocolate in Japan, so this was amazing. The chocolate and cranberry doughnut was so good, and the lemon one tasted just like a lemon drizzle cake!! Ice cream on the top was extra amazing. Lovely staff.

Delicious

The owner here is so friendly and the donuts are delicious, we ended up going everyday for breakfast as options in the area were limited and the options change everyday! Recommend the matcha latte

Wonderful rice bran donuts and ice cream!

I honestly didn't expect too much going in as I don't typically love GF baked goods. But the rice bran donuts-I had vanilla-are delicious and the perfect texture. They sit really well and aren't heavy too. I got the coffee flavored ice cream which was equally delicious. Definitely stop here if you're at Gora station. It's right by the cable car entrance.

Donut perfection 👌

Unfortunately, when I went there around 14:30 almost everything was gone. So go early. I had a strawberry chocolate donut, which was sooo good!
It had big strawberry chunks in it. 🍓

Delicious vegan food in the mountains

Delicious food and great customer service. If you have the good fortune to visit in cherry blossom season the Amazake drink is so unique. Definitely try it and get it warm , so tasty.

Their Sakura cream and matcha rice bran donut is also a must.

Pros: Customer service , Unique tasty treats, Location

Amazing gluten free and vegan donuts

Amazing vegan and gluten free donuts and sweets. Owner is so lovely, she's absolutely beautiful. We had matcha donuts, ice cream and amazake/matcha drink everything was delicious and we would highly recommend. It's super easy to find, just opposite the entrance to the cable car, in a little shop to the left as you enter. Will be going back for sure as they were amazing!! Arigatou gozaimasu😄wouldn't think we would find such a gem in Hakone!

Lovely place to stop for a sweet treat

Had a lovely lemon and blueberry doughnut topped with ice cream. There was around 5 choices of doughnuts (priced between ¥500 and ¥600) which you could add an optional scoop of ice cream ( ¥150) and whipped cream ( ¥50).

Flavours were lovely and thoroughly enjoyed the food!

Lots of drink choices including amazake smoothies and coffees.

Friendly staff, English menu and easy to find so would recommend stopping by if you are in Hakone. Relatively close to the Hakone Open Air Museum

Must visit

this is a tiny kitchen, from which you order through a window in a lovely souvenir shop next to Gora Station. I may have planned one night in Hakone just to try this place. They open at 11 am, so you’ll have to find breakfast elsewhere, but who’s to complain about a donut lunch?

They had 8 flavors available, and you can also add on toppings. I got hojicha caramel, matcha, and the sandwich (three options, I chose strawberry) with jam and soy whip.

There’s also an awesome selection of drinks— I had an iced matcha latte and an iced blueberry amazake.

I wish I had room to try the ice cream. I bought one of each of the packaged ramen they had in front of the order window.

Pros: All vegan, interesting flavors, Kind owner, cute shop and seating area, DELICIOUS!

Brilliant pit stop

Had an iced matcha latte and the marmalade donut. Both were tasty and much needed after my long journey to get to Gora! The owner speaks good English. If you’re lucky you can grab one of the few seats outside (under cover).

Pros: Good value , Tasty home made donuts, Really friendly

Cons: No savoury options

I was worried that you would like the sweetness of the matcha latte, but I am glad you are pleased. We are also developing savory doughnuts, so we hope you will have a chance to try them someday!

Gem find

On our first visit to Gora as a family travelling throughout Japan, we walked into this little store near the quaint station strip of shops to find an absolute gem! The staff were very warm and welcoming. The lady serving the High protein vegan sweets explained her product and had English translation for everything which made us appreciate the products even more.
A few of us are not vegan and back home haven’t truly found a healthy sweet at a cafe that you could trick even the sweetest of tooths but these sweets you could! Anyone could fall in love with these! The orange peel flavour was perfectly balanced with a light creamy soy cream topping. The surprise was the filling! We have been talking about this shop which has a variety of products and gifts and can’t wait for them to open this morning! Only wish we could have them back home. Thank you!

Pros: Delicious , Vegan/gluten free, Welcoming

Cons: Can’t take it all home

中村千穂

I am glad to receive such wonderful feedback. I would like to continue to carefully produce healthy and delicious food. It is a pity that you can't take my sweets home with you, but I am very happy that you were pleased enough to want to take them home with you.

Great donuts !

The donuts are so fluffy and flavorful. They were so good we came back the next day for more. Go early because they sell out quick. The owner and staff are super friendly. Our favorite was the matcha and also the lemon😄

Amazing doughnuts!

The doughnuts on offer here are very tasty with an amazing fluffy texture, free of the dryness that often accompanies gluten-free pastries. The menu changes daily, but we had chocolate nut, matcha w/ red bean, apple cinnamon and Earl Grey w/ cranberry and they were all incredible. Definitely stop by if you're near Gora station!

こちらのドーナツは美味しくて、グルテンブリなのにとてもフワフワです!メニューは毎日変わりますが、試した味はチョコ•ナッツ、抹茶餡、アップル•シナモン、クランベリー•アールグレイでした。全て素晴らしかったです!強羅駅に行ったら、ぜひ寄るべきです!
