Very delicious and super safe

Fun little vegan and gluten-free cafe. The staff working were friendly and kind. It is a small place and the serves are to the smaller side, too. Maybe more of a snack and treat spot I’d say. We came for lunch and had a pizza and burger plus cake and smoothies and drinks and weren’t full after. The rainbow cake looks beautiful, but wasn’t too flavorful. Tiramisu was more enjoyable. Great alternative cafe if on the search for gluten-free and vegan or dairyfree sweat and savory treats!

Mel Griffin

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.

Ida M

This is heaven for any gluten intolerant. I was amazed by their pancakes and sweet staff. Will book a new trip to Japan just to eat here again❤️

Vero .Ibril

Excellent place for people with celiac disease! Everything is gluten-free and delicious. We tried the pepperoni pizza, a baguette, a bacon braid, and a kind of vegan curry-filled bun. It's a small takeout place, although there are a couple of benches outside where you can eat. The guy is very friendly and speaks perfect English. 100% recommended, but we recommend getting there early because they're so fast.

Has a gluten free menu and I enjoyed the prawn tempura

Anne Namuth

The whole place is gluten free. Between 3 and 5 pm they only serve dessert and drinks. The parfait is phenomenal.

Lara Acucella

Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

Marcus S

Amazing! Amazing! Lovely staff and a cosy little cafe. We arrived late in the day, 5.30 (close at 6pm) and they accommodated us for a quick dessert. They had sold out of their rice flour bread so couldn’t get the sandwiches. Highly recommend.

We had been travelling in Japan for Several days, and the members of our party with coeliac was looking for a change. Tucked away on Miyajima, this small cafe is dedicated gluten free. The fried chicken was wonderful, and the curries smelled great. And then there were the donuts… It was just delightful to find such flavors one GF food, almost by accident.

Laurène Thébault de Marsilly

It was so good. gluten free pasta and matcha cheesecake, very tasty, and rice bread.

N C

Tastes incredible and has gf options

Carlotta Stendardo

Really very good pizza: the tomato has an incredible taste! They have gluten free options so a plus

松本愛

It's great that they have gluten-free dishes. It's great for girls. And it's good that they have coffee cafe latte. It's delicious. The staff are very kind. It was a nice shop. Maybe it's because the door is open? I was worried about small flies and mosquitoes. I might need to be more careful in the coming season.

Saved our trip! My son is gluten free, and Japan (largely) is not. It was very hard to find food for him, and other gluten free shops either weren’t really gluten free, or just tasted bad, had very small menus, or were closed when they said they were open. But Biossa had exactly what we needed. Good, fresh, delicious gluten free bread, muffins, baguettes, and croissants! That way we could pack and carry the breads around Tokyo, so my son could eat almost anywhere (by swapping out the provided breads with these gluten free ones). Game-changing. Thanks Biossa!

Emily Hunt

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

It's a restaurant that specializes in vegan and gluten-free food, and it doesn't use rice flour, so it was very helpful. The stylish atmosphere was also nice. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced, so it was a good experience.

Dana

My friend is gluten-free, therefore she was really happy with the wide selection. I tried the sesame ramen, but it was really bland, and the little bit of soy meat tasted like nothing

Teresa Cullen

i loved eating here so much i came back the next day. incredible gluten free cafe with great coffee and veggie options. the french toast was the best i have ever had. and the folks working were incredibly kind and helpful. the space itself was very cute and calming. i loved the egg sandwich.

Bettina CH

Very delicious food. Since the portions were rather small, we ordered again. We thought it was good value for money. Gluten-free dishes were clearly marked on the menu, and there was a large selection, including cakes!

Sasha Simms-Rowan

I ate here no more than 20 minutes ago and it was wonderful. It’s difficult to find gluten free places in Japan, especially along with being vegan - This restaurant was lovely, the food was great and the staff are so kind, friendly and sweet. We had the lunch plates (where you basically get to try a bit of everything, everywhere should do that am I right?!), donut, chocolate waffle and regular waffle - Everything was so nice, I’m vegetarian and my partner is a meat eater, we loved all of it but had opposite favourites to one another so it’s definitely worth a try! Enjoy everyone!

Anne Namuth

The pizza is not gluten free … but there are several GF choices. I had the shrimp risotto — really good.

Lucas K

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

Jonathan Smith

We were visiting Sapporo from New Zealand and found this GF Cafe online. We had the most wonderful breakfast and actually returned for lunch on the same day. The husband and wife who own and operate the Cafe are wonderful and amazing people. Be sure to visit even if you aren't Gluten Free .. the food is good. We look forward to seeing you again when we return to Sapporo in August or September next year (2026)

M N

Best falafels in town! Also has great gluten free muffins!

R I

All of the carefully prepared dishes were delicious! The gluten-free pasta was well-flavored, the dashi soy sauce had a mild taste, and the salmon pasta had a nice yuzu flavor. The soy milk amazake soft serve ice cream was mellow and not at all heavy, and went really well with the strong espresso.

Liliane Lapointe

Very good gluten free crepes ! Had the ham with onions : so yummy!

Zach Dorsett

Great tacos, with plenty of gluten free options. Just avoid the fried options if you have concerns with cross-contamination. Carne asada was especially good.

Séverine

We had a delicious gluten free galette. The gluten free muffins are very tasty as well. The owner is kind and the restaurant is small and nice. We highly recommend!

J G

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

Isabel Kendall

This is some of the best gluten free food I have ever had in my 10 years of being gluten free!! Such kind service, delicious pastries, the karaage is life changing, I could go on and on. The turnip cakes are so delightful as well. The vegan delight and the oriental vegan plate are filling, hearty, and nourishing above all. Also, the handmade sodas are so tasty, such a nice addition to the meal. Please eat here!!! You will not regret it. I came here 3 times in my 4 days in Nara, and I’m sad it was only 3 times. I wish I knew the names of the people who run this place, they are so kind and make stellar food. I’m so enthusiastic about this place, what a highlight of my trip!! I will be back someday <3

Ilene Tucker

Great little tempura bar. We went all in with no regrets. Small salad to start, cucumber salad next (delicious sesame oil and sesame seeds), multiple types of seafood and vegetable tempura, cold noodles, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with honey. The experience was great. Sitting at the bar, the owner/chef cooked a few pieces of tempura at a time so each piece was fresh and delicious, versus a whole plate that sits and get soggy (a typical tempura meal). The tempura was light and flakey, the vegetables fresh and the seafood just melted in your mouth (shrimp, squid, whitefish, scallop!, conger eel). Best part… all gluten free with much care for my dietary needs, but you’d have never known this was gluten free, it was that good (says the hubby who can eat gluten!)

Daniela Castillo Zavala

the place was so good! as a celiac is hard for me to find food without gluten in japan, but here everything was awesome and delicious! i will be back for sure!

shun naka

I always come here when I come to Osaka. I don't know how many times I've been there. It's easy for even an old man to enter by himself. The atmosphere is calm and comfortable. The location is in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth coming just for this shop. I tried almost everything on the menu, but on this day I ordered the power bowl and soup set for 1,580 yen. It's a little pricey, but it really fills you up. It's loaded with vegetables and almost gluten-free. After eating, I noticed the seasonal menu posted on the wall. Brown rice risotto set! I should have done this! ! I will go again.

Valerie Leeds

I enjoyed my green salad very much. The balance of all the green veggies, with the smallest pop of a red lettuce in it was excellent. The dressing was a outstanding pesto, which I almost wished for more of, however I was so glad to be able to taste and appreciate each of my vegetables individually, again harmony. The tiramisu was vegan and gf, as were all the desserts. This dessert was great as a df gf customer. What we would have liked more of, a few more gluten free options on the savory menu. The green salad was the solitary option. No soup or warm food was gluten free on the entire menu. Many vegan people would like this choice. I am celiac, and found your restaurant on Atly, a gluten free restaurant App. It would only enhance the menu to have 1 soup and 1 warm meal. This would raise the stars to 5 stars!🌟

川本E

Lots of vegetables! A vegetable cafe that does not use eggs, milk, or flour✨ You can also enjoy the ``Salad Bowl,'' which consists of vegetables, nuts, rice, and other grains arranged together in a large bowl, or the ``Buddha Bowl,'' which originated on the West Coast of the United States and is a one-plate dish. When I received it, it was red rice, quinoa, carrots, avocado, tomatoes, nuts, lettuce, etc.😃 In addition to the Buddha Bowl, we also have vegetarian curry, vegan sandwiches, gluten-free pasta and sweets, and we also have children's sets ❤️

Corinna Finney

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.

Miles Taylor

Very helpful with gluten free and celiac. Best corn bread I've ever had. They love sheep as well

Michael Cassimaty

Intimate dining with delicious food! The Green Curry and french fries went together great. Recommend it as a coeliac!

Emma Lamomd

Really loved this place! I’m a very sensitive coeliac but despite the small risk of cross contamination I was totally fine and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I even ordered a dessert crepe afterwards seeing as the ice cream was gf too! Service was quick and the staff were lovely - I was informed that they had cleaned the plate they cook the crepes on but that they couldn’t guarantee it was safe - which was nice to see they understand the severity of coeliac and still try to accomodate! Safe to say it was well worth the slight risk

Yahli mordo

Absolutely amazing people and amazing gluten free food! This place is a heaven to gluten free people!!

Filippo Montalti

Excellent burgers and very interesting desserts, they also have gluten-free sandwiches so they can satisfy even those who need gluten-free. Service as always friendly, water included, prices slightly higher than average but worth it.

Sachte

Many gluten free options for lunch and different gluten free cakes. The staff were attentive and took my coeliac condition seriously, answering all my questions with care and to the best of their knowledge. It was reassuring to see them checking all the dishes on the menu that they could safely offer me. Most importantly, the cakes were delicious.

Tina Chu

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.

Jody Lewin

Food was delicious! Everything was vegan and gluten free. We got the tempeh teriyaki pizza, miso soup, dumplings, and a rice bowl.

GyungTae KOO

Poor client management and incorrect menu. How come the customer gets blamed for not reporting food allergy when ordered “gluten free” and got non gluten free pasta?

Ottília Illés

They have gluten free pizza

工藤拓

I went there on a weekday during the day. The only desserts were gluten-free muffins. The drinks were average. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

Carly Brender

Probably one of my fav locations of theirs. Kura sushi chain is great! They have an allergen menu online that you can use to guide you and order directly from the screen. It can be a but difficult to navigate getting a table but its yummy and really affordable. There are also a lot of locations so it became a good backup option to have while travelling.

I found a natural cafe that serves gluten-free shortcake and other healthy sweets. They also don't use meat, eggs, dairy products, refined sugar, or chemical seasonings. Great for vegans too♪ They have a wide variety of coffees, so I recommend them to those looking for decaf coffee◡̈ And the prices are surprisingly cheap. This area is close to Ginza, so I was prepared to pay a fair amount, but I was surprised at how cheap it was and it was easy on the wallet, so I was happy. The interior of the store is made of glass and has a high ceiling, making it a very open and airy space. Thank you for the meal♡
