Amazing. We ordered two savory and two sweet crepes and their matcha lattes. Everything was delicious and the staff is so friendly. The place is small so go early for seats.

Amazing spot for dietaries. They have 2 vegan Ramen and offer gluten-free noodles and dishes. The vegan gluten-free dumplings we tried were delicious and their signature Ramen, too. They also serve gluten-free beer. Totally recommended, we will be back.

Café planet is a gluten free paradise in Kyoto. Food is very good. I really enjoyed their cookies. The only bad thing is that they are only cash..

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

The best vegan and gluten free desserts I’ve ever tried (and I’m from LA where we’re spoiled with allergen friendly options)! The hojicha cake was my favorite; the matcha cake and ice cream sandwich were fantastic as well. The soy milk tea lattes were a delightful pairing.

Matcha cream and caramelized walnuts It's included and it's also delicious ♩ There are seats in the narrow space outside the store. It's surprisingly hard to notice, so it's a hidden gem! !

A very relaxing place with several gluten free options ideal for people with celiac disease If you are celiac you will enjoy it, especially the chocolate cake seemed spectacular, very tasty. They only accept cash payments. They speak English, at least the basics to order.

Afternoon tea was full, so I made a reservation here for lunch. It is also gluten-free and caffeine-free, so you can choose according to your mood. This time, I had a light lunch as I had enjoyed the traditional Japanese cuisine in the morning, but next time I would like to stay at the Park Hyatt and enjoy the food at a more leisurely pace, so I made a reservation.

It is located near Shijo Street, so super convenient to include this restaurant to the travel itinerary. The venue gets crowded very quickly, so it would be better visit early. They seem to have gluten-free options as well, but I have not checked with the staff directly yet.
