The view! - Edit
Absolute cracking spot for a coffee and breakfast. Unfortunately when we got there just before 10am they had sold out it the BLT 💔 we had the avo toast and the veggie something. Nice but no BLT. Coffee was great 😎

Friendly all vegan lunch cafe - Edit
Update: Shorter hours in October 2023. The chef explained that since the cafe is so busy, their lunch service usually ends by 2PM. Plan accordingly, and don’t be surprised if you see a “Sold Out” sign posted on the door.
Read moreVeg out is easy to find on Shichi-Dori on the Kamo river and at the Keihan subway shichidori stop—just across the bridge. There’s an English menu and the usual lunch menu includes a hearty Buddha Bowl, Coconut Curry and Taco Rice, with veggie tarts, muffins, tea , coffee and other drinks.

Lovely food - Edit
We came here for lunch, had a buddha bowl and a set lunch. Tasty, good portions and good service. We had to wait outside in the sun for a bit as they were full, but only about 10 minutes. Once you're in it's a nice spacious restaurant so we were happy they don't cram people in.

Gorgeous location, super fresh! - Edit
Visited on a Wednesday afternoon and had a very small wait of around 15 minutes. Ordered the Buddha bowl with set drink which included a small entree of soup both of which were delicious. The fried “chicken” was juicy with a melt in your mouth batter. All the greens were crisp and were complimented by the sauce and rice. The soup was beautiful! Staff were also very friendly and accommodating!!

Slow down for lunch - Edit
The plate is very nutritious and filling. It also comes a soup beforehand. Coming from Tokyo service felt a little slower, but I took it as an opportunity to slow down.

Comfortable cafe with a view of the river - Edit
VegOut staff were polite and the service for drinks was fast. The food was good. As others have said, it was a little slow in arriving but for me that was fine. I arrived at 12.30 on a Sunday and didn't have to queue at all.

Worth the wait - Edit
We also had to wait a bit for a table- around 30 min. The staff had a list of people but did not provide a time estimate, which my friend informed me is normal in Japan. Waiting in Kyoto is also to be expected.
Read moreThe cold pumpkin soup was worth every minute of the wait! Smooth and creamy. We had Buddha bowls which were also delicious and filling. The homemade plum soda and maple pecan ice cream rounded off the meal. Would gladly wait 30 minutes again to eat here!!
I might add that our seats were facing the river with an open window which was a very pleasant dining experience😊 also I bought a to-go Earl Gray Lemon muffin which was amazing to have for breakfast the following day.
Pros: Excellent food, Selection of takeaway items, Atmosphere, friendly staff
Cons: Waiting for a table

Good food great vibes - Edit
Enjoyed everything about this place. It has a chill vibe, overlooking the river and bridge, staff is friendly. Food is so refreshingly delicious and to enjoy it overlooking the river, listening to mellow music is out of this world. Highly recommend the Buddha bowl.

Waited about 30 mn outside before entering. Then waited another 20mn before eating something .

Pros: Music was cool, View
Cons: Quantity of food too low, Not so tasty, no « whaou » effect, Waiting time

Good food, but service took way too long 😔 - Edit
I got to Veg Out at around 12:30 on a Thursday, and there was two people in front of my boyfriend and I getting inside.
Read moreThe logistics here wasn't great - for example there were one person occupying a table for four people, and there could've been done more for us in line to make us feel seen as a customer. The waiter just told us to wait and gave us a menu to look at.
Once we got our table after around 20 min wait, we ordered, but the food didn't arrive for another 40 min, which is way too long in regards of what we ordered (veg out plate).
The staff were friendly, but I felt like they didn't really acknowledge how long time the wait was, and just generally bad logistics with the seating arrangements.
Overall, a friendly place with good food, but would not come again.

Came here twice in my 3 days in Kyoto - Edit
So glad this spot was right around the corner from where I was staying. The spot is a real laid back and relaxed with vinyl record player music, the workers are all friendly and very helpful, and the food is top tier! Arigato gozaimasu!!!

Nice place for lunch or a coffee - Edit
I had late breakfast early lunch here on a Saturday morning. The view of the river is very nice and the staff were friendly. Very calm atmosphere probably bc it’s also a yoga place in the basement so that was pretty cool i guess. Some people / couples having a meal or a coffee. The food was tasty!

Pancakes! - Edit
Got the banana pancakes and they were very tasty! Soy latte was delicious as well. The ambiance in the restaurant was very cool and had big windows overlooking the river. Seemed like everything was being made from scratch with each order, a lot of care went into the food and preparation.

We were sad because we got there at 9am and pancakes were sold out, everyone there was eating pancakes. Next day we came a little earlier at 8.30am, sold out again!! We still loved our breakfast (blt toastie) and the view was beautiful.

Very nice - Edit
I got the the taco rice and it was nice, but not more than that. The portion was a decent size. I also tried some of their buddha bowl, which I think was better than the taco rice. I also tried their cake (I don't remember what kind of cake) but it was also nice, a bit pricy for the size however.
Read moreAlso I wanted the tempeh sandwich, but it was sold out when I got there around 12/13 ish
