About

A small, modern cafe on a quieter Kyoto side street serves avocado toast, mushroom-cheese toast, pizza toast, and vegan tiramisu, with fruit matcha drinks among the regular favorites. Most dishes are vegan, but dairy milk and cheese can be selected, and guests report that service may take longer when one person is handling the cafe.
