About

This small café near Nanzenji and the Philosopher’s Path serves vegan pancakes, cakes, vegetable sandwiches, and soy soft serve alongside organic coffee; its wider menu also includes egg and dairy items. It’s a quiet stop for a temple walk, though vegan specials can sell out or be unavailable, and some dine-in orders require a drink per person.
