Good but pricey - Edit
We went there for lunch and shared the veg out palate. Then We ordered the chocolate muffin and the raw cake with a matcha oat latte and a mocha oat latte.
Read moreThe raw cake was really good!
I would recommend it for a slow breakfast, the view is really sonething and the sun flowa direclty into the space, making it warm and light.
The food is good, but a bit pricey.

So sweet - Edit
Had breakfast here and the vibe and food were perfect. Small portions but kind of expected in Japan with veg food. My friend was able to get a gluten free muffin. Will try again!

Tastes like home - Edit
I had the summer gazpacho, bread, and salad set. The food was good – especially the gazpacho – but the portion wasn't the largest. Also, it set me back a bit more than my 1000 yen budget cutoff, which is fine once but does stop me from going back constantly. But the bread tasted exactly like my mom's, and I definitely had an emotional moment there. Unfortunately, they aren't really open for dinner unless you want to eat at 5:15.
Read morePros: Delicious bread, Homey, Good view
Cons: Smaller portions than I'd like, A little expensive

Lunch during Gion matsuri - Edit
We stopped by Veg Out during the annual Gion matsuri, but were lucky and found a table. If you make a reservation, reserve a seat overlooking the Kamogawa river. Very calming experience :).
Read moreWe ordered the set lunch (you can choose from two teas with discounted price to go with it). Other drinks are quite pricey.
Lunch was very tasty, full of veggies. You may wait a bit, but it is worth it.

Pros: Beautiful spacious place., Very tasty lunch set.
Cons: Longer waiting time.

Tasty veg, good breakfast menu - Edit
Lovely food. Went for breakfast and got veg and salad on toasty bread with a turmeric latte. Unfortunately the BLT I really wanted to try was unavailable. Will go back when I'm next in Kyoto. Staff very friendly. Prices little high I think, but worth it. My total was ¥1500 for the salad and veg on toast, and coffee.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Gorgeous food, Nice setting
Cons: Maybe a little pricey

Pretty good - Edit
I got the Buddha bowl an I loved it! The soy chicken in the salad was really good as well! My spouse got the tomato coconut curry and it was lacking flavor/seasonings. We got blueberry lemon smoothies, they were sour but not bad! We also got the blueberry earl grey tart crumble an it was so good we got one to go as well. The chocolate coconut muffin was dry sadly, but I’d go back for the salad and tart crumble! Nice view of the river as well.

English 👇 ベジアウトは、『Happy Cow』ユーザーによると、京都で最高のヴィーガンレストランのひとつです。私たちも必ず行こうと思っていました。
Read moreお店は七条駅に近くにあり、鴨川の素晴らしい景色を眺めることができます。
私はタコライスを注文しました。美味しかったですが”タコライス”というより”タコスサラダ”でした。竜二はブッダボウルにとても満足そうでしたし、ふたりとも食後にいただいた、小さいながらも美味しいラムレーズンのケーキをとても気に入りました。
サービスは若干遅く、温かみを感じませんでした。恐らく人手不足でしょう。でもお店の雰囲気がとても良かったので、少々待っても気になりませんでした。
ただ、ひとつ残念だったのは、順番待ちのお客さんに対して、店内のドア付近で立って待つようにスタッフが言っていたことです。この日のような寒い日には理解できるのですが、私たちのようにドアの近くの席に座っていると、これはとても気まずい状況を作り出してしまいます。ローレンが座る席の真後ろに立って待っているふたりのお客さんがマスク無しでおしゃべりしていて、不快でした。入り口に貼られた”マスクを着用してください”という大きい貼り紙が読めなかったのでしょうか。しかもスタッフがそれを指摘する事もなかったので、さらに気分は最悪でした☹️
それでも、私たちはオールヴィーガンレストランで美味しく健康的な食事を楽しむことができ、満足しています。皆さんも一度、Veg Outを試してみてください。
Veg Out is one of the best vegan restaurants in Kyoto, according to Happy Cow users. We were eager to try it!
The location can’t be beat— it’s located very close to Shichijō station, and affords a gorgeous view of the Kamogawa river.
I ordered the taco rice, which was good, though I would have liked a little more rice. It was more of a “taco salad.” Ryuji seemed very happy with his Buddha bowl though, and we both liked the small but delicious rum raisin raw cake.
Service was a little slow and cold. They seemed understaffed. Still, the vibes in the place were so nice that we didn’t mind waiting a bit.
One thing that prevented us from fully enjoying our time there was that the staff ask customers waiting for tables to stand and wait inside, by the door. Though understandable on cold days like this one was, this creates an awkward situation if you’re seated near the door, as we were. It’s even worse if those waiting customers, standing behind you, are chatting loudly, apparently having decided that the “please wear a mask” sign somehow doesn’t apply to them, and the staff don’t point it out to them. :-/
Still, we were happy to enjoy a tasty, healthy meal at an all-vegan restaurant. Give Veg Out a try! #Veganuary

Amazing view over the river - Edit
We went here for lunch and had the Buddha bowl together with a cafe for dessert. The Buddha bowl was tasty but I wish there would have been more souse added.
Read moreIt felt very healthy and the Buddha bowl was served with a soup which was delicious.
The cake (pumpkin spice) was a bit lacklustre.

Great Ambience - Edit
It’s nice to have a view of the river in Kyoto, but it’s hard to find a vegan place that does. That’s why I chose vegout for my first stop. Everything is good here. The coffee is top notch and you don’t have to worry about specifying a vegan milk. The Buddha bowl was good to get some veggies after sitting on the Shinkansen for a while.
Read moreThe staff are muji stylish, warm and welcoming. Grateful for this place!
Pros: A FULL vegan coffee shop/cafe. , Fresh, Quality

Gorgeous location and delicious food - Edit
Loved this place ! It’s gorgeous spot overlooking the river as you eat. They’d so many tasty choices and but picked the Buddha bowl which had karagge and an assortment of tasty fresh cooked veg. They have their own homemade kombucha which never seen in Japan which was so refreshing on a hot day.
Read moreIt’s not the cheapest place but for quality and portion sizes it’s worth it!
They also have a self service produce section where you can get nuts, dried fruit and grains that you can fill in paper bags or your own container I think if you’re trying to have less waste.
Pros: Super tasty large portion , Kombucha, Zero waste store inside

I got the Buddha bowl, the fake meat was really good. The rest of the Buddha bowl wasn't that interesting, just rice and salad.

Relax veg cafe for veg digital nomad - Edit
I've been to many cafe around Kyoto. And I'm so happy that I found Veg Out.
Read moreIt's the most relax cafe I've been so far. We sit in front of the big window which has nice natural light and wind breeze through the window. The cafe is right next to the famous river so we had a very nice view. The staff was really nice and thoughtful. We ordered the lemonade (700 yen +10% )and coffee with cake(half muffin) set (550 yen + 10%).
I really appreciate they allow us to use the plug and there's free wifi since there are many cafe in kyoto don't provide plug.
I would love to go back again for sure !
