Amazing gelato and unique vegan flavours

This place offers unique gelato flavours that you won't find outside of Japan, and has a wide selection of vegan options, including a vegan mini churro and hot/ice coffee. It was delicious, and I highly recommend it!

Although the menu doesn't specify, the cream is made of soy milk. Also, the ordering is done so that you select a type of product (e.g., number of scoops), and after payment you tell the staff which flavours you want.

Best gelato out there

I never had so many flavor options for vegan icecream/gelatto! Love all the flavors me and my gf chose.

You can get 100 yen coupon if you lunch at the other premarche

Must try vegan gelateria in Kyoto

Huge selection of vegan ice creams, some traditional flavours such as the pistacchio which is a must try and some more unconventional with a Japanese touch.
I got pistacchio, salted caramel brown rice in a gluten free edible bowl with a churro.
The churro was very hard and dry, wouldn't reccomanded it.
Expect it to take up to 5 minutes at least per cone, they are very meticulous on how they assemble your order.

Pros: Pistacchio was very good, said by an italian, Flavors choice, Presentation

Cons: Takes ages for them to assemble your ice cream , Place wasn't particularly nice, Churro hard and dry

Amazing!!

Lots of vegan gelato options and all clearly marked. The waffle cone isn’t vegan, but the old school crisp cone is. The flavours are great and different. We had the ume plum, miso (cheese-ish), ninja and tropical (tastes like coffee). All were delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Huge vegan selection, Everything clearly labeled , Quick service

Cons: None

Perfect for a hot day

Try the miso flavored gelato- the best there. I thought the pistachio was kind of bland.

Worth multiple visits!

Not a vegan place, so not giving it 5 stars, but the ice cream was delicious and I wish I'd been able to go multiple times to try more flavours! Staff were helpful and there was so much choice. Lots of interesting Japanese traditional flavours. You get a 100yen voucher for money off your next visit!

Creamy vegan ice cream

Partner and I both agreed the pistachio flavoured ice cream was some of the creamiest (and tastiest) ice cream we have ever had. I had a brown rice caramel flavour which I did not love though. Overall great though. Friendly staff.

Wide range of flavours

I’m disappointed that I only had time and stomach space for two of the twenty plus vegan flavours. Although I did get to try three more

The ice cream was delicious, the staff were friendly and the shop was warm and accomodating.

I hope this place eventually becomes 100% vegan

Pros: Twenty plus vegan flavours, Clearly marked what is and isn’t vegan

Cons: Not 100% vegan

16 vegan gelato options 😁

Wonderful little organic shop and gelato counter, I had the choice of 16 options so overwhelmed! You get to sample 3 before making your decision, I had the matcha one and the brown sugar with roasted soy flavour, absolutely delicious and is up there with the best I have ever had. It's only a 10 min walk from Nijo-Jo Castle, definitely stop by, the staff were very friendly and spoke English really well 😊🌿💚

Pros: So many choices

Cons: None

OMGelato

My favorite vegan ice cream shop was in Rome and now I have a second one and trust me I am very picky. The taste man, so AMAZING. I want to fly back in time just to have some in my mouth. They let me try a lot before choosing four flavors with my boyfriend :
- Matcha - Miso (Oh my...) - Ninja ( black sesame/rice/bean/corn ) - Creamy caramelized rice milk
Japanese flavors of course ;)

Pros: Staff, Taste, quality., LOOOOOTS of vegan choice.

Best ice cream I’ve had in Japan

There are so many flavors of vegan gelato/ice cream here! We were able to sample many of the flavors. There are some unusual—but delicious—flavors like yuba and matcha ume. But there are plenty of other vegan flavors like chocolate, coconut, and pistachio.

Pros: Many flavors of vegan ice cream, Soy milk option for coffee drinks, Staff is very knowledgeable about vegan items

Amazing Flavours

They have a vast choice of interesting vegan ice cream flavour. I tried the white miso cheesrcake flavour which was a but strange, but not bad. I finally opted for the Matcha Ume, and the Macademia Nuts Coffee flavour which were great! I’m definitively going back! I also got some vegan groceries! (Coffee, mapo tofu sauce, mock meat)
