¥1,980- Heavenly vegan pancakes♡ Gluten-free pancakes! Fluffy and moist. Enjoy it with seasonal fruits, whipped soy milk, and homemade vanilla ice cream. The soy milk cream was more delicious than I expected. 100% vegan🌱 is amazing!

Tyler Knip

Nice they have a vegan/gluten free option. Pricey.

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.

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❤️

Lydia C.

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.

Anne Namuth

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

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.

Katie Graham

Delicious pork kaatsu and Japanese fried chicken (and French fries). Non-GF family members were impressed with quality and authenticity. Hope to eat here again while we are in Kyoto!

Mark Hall

Popular little casual restaurant with fried chicken and curry. All gluten free. We tried the chicken which was great accompanied by a beer.

Stacey Fiteni

Such a quaint little spot for gluten free food. I'm travelling with a gluten intolerant person, but I'll say that the pasta was just as good as normal pasta.

Bill Smeeth

Absolutely amazing, the staff were lovely and polite, service was brilliant. It takes a little while for the pancakes, but you can watch as they make everything fresh and they were without a doubt the best pancakes I've ever had, gluten free or made with wheat. One of the best things I've eaten whilst being in Japan, if you're Gluten Free or not do not miss this place. Incredible.

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.

野中綾子

I came here for gluten-free bread and baked goods. When I asked the store clerk, They taught me how to bake gluten-free foods. I had the an butter and American and it was delicious. It was right after they opened, so I was able to relax.

Lina K

Such a lovely Café! We found it without searching. None of us avoids gluten. We had the pistachio cream puff and the cheesecake. Both was excellent. The man working there was super sweet and interested in his guests having a great time. Definitely recommend going there! The portion size was A bit small though but we weren't hungry for a couple of hours after because it was so filling.

Pamela Aracena

A wonderful space to eat nutritiously. The staff is very friendly and maintains a serene atmosphere. The food is fresh and perfectly combines the flavors of each ingredient. Eating well and gluten free, it is possible.

K Myette

Amazing gluten free food! Very kind and attentive staff.

Johanna Pál

Very funny place ❤️. Food is very very tasty and has super atmosphere. The owner is full of energy, he could give me some 😂. ❤️ I am glutenfree and option called ZERO was the only gf food I could eat. It was extremely delicious ❤️. Thank you for the good food and funny atmosphere 😘.

Sophie Tang

The meals are delicious, the salty desserts are great, very refreshing and not burdensome, the gluten-free waffles are very good, and the take-away piece of gluten-free chiffon cake is also delicious, just like the taste of ordinary cakes!

Sara Ramón

A gluten-free paradise. Everything was great!

Alex Durso

Love this coffee shop. The Hojicha tea lattes are excellent. They also have a gluten free lemon cake that was perfect and not too sweet.

I wanted to buy gluten-free bread, so I went in just after lunch on a weekday. There was a cute, friendly female staff member at the back of the counter preparing the bread? Making the dough? There didn't seem to be any customers at the cafe. It said it was a cafe, so I was worried I'd be able to buy just the bread, but I was able to. The shop is located a little way down the road across from MUJI, across from 246. From Takashimaya, it's just past Tsubame Grill and on the left. From Futako Tamagawa Station, it's about a 5-6 minute walk. I don't know if it's intentional, but the feel of the shop, from the exterior and interior, to the slightly dark atmosphere and concept, is very British (those who have been to England should know...) I didn't call out to the staff, but they stopped what they were doing and came to the register, probably because they saw me pick up a loaf of bread from the display, so I was able to pay smoothly. Rice flour bread is sold in tiny miniature loaves, and the price varies depending on the type, but it's about 400 to 500 yen per loaf. From what I saw, there were four kinds: plain, sweet sake, chocolate, and raisin. In terms of size, one loaf is about the size of a hot dog bun, I think. So, one person can eat a whole loaf in no time. The bread is rice flour bread, and the inside is chewy. The crust is crispy and very delicious. The inside is chewy, but it doesn't have the heavy, dense feeling that rice flour bread often has, and I think it's relatively fluffy for rice flour bread. It was my first time there, but I really liked it. I want to go again. There aren't many bakeries around here that make gluten-free bread, so I hope they keep doing their best.

Get the Ham and Cheese bread, it is good!! Bread was soft and fluffy too, I am so happy to be able to eat gluten free breads like this :) The staff was really friendly too!

May Ly

I was soooo excited to randomly find a gluten free cafe on our way to Nara Park. The chestnut cake was divine 😍😍 we had the Oriental vegan plate, while not a fan of vegan soy meats everything else was amazing. I loved the tea selections and gluten free cakes. They have an upstairs seating area (Japanese style on the floor) as well as a few seats downstairs. It was a little tricky to find the entrance as it seems like you’re walking through a gap at the end of the fence so it was a really fun find!

Sam Brustad

A fantastic 100% gluten free bakery with vegan options. I had the bacon egg sandwich and cheese cake, both of which were delicious. As a coeliac living in Japan I was so happy to find this place!

Mechi Barrón

This place is absolutely perfect in everything. The ambience is super relaxing and the food is super tasty. If you're allergic to gluten and want to relax and eat good food - this is the place. Also, they give you a tarot message with each meal you buy. If you're a fan of tarot or a tarot reader, this is a very nice detail :).

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.

Mechi Barrón

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..

Ruben g s

Wonderful place, with delicious gluten free & vegan food, great atmosphere and very kind owners. Highly recommend, we would be loyal customers if we lived in Osaka, totally worth-it.

María Larrad

Delicious crepes. We went to have dessert with tea, the cook makes them with great care and attention. Celiac care: 100% gluten-free.

Liliane Lapointe

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

JJ A

The best thing is that it is not crowded. Relaxed atmosphere. Decaffeinated coffee is also available. Selling vegan and gluten-free cakes.

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.

Ayelet Cohen

I eat gluten free, and the burger is a 100% beef, so I took the burger with salad and avocado (only after I ordered i notice that they have a gluten free bun) Was ok price, and the service was amazing It's on the second floor

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 ❤️

Natalia Fortunato

Unfortunately, the worst ramen I’ve tried in Japan. I came with high hopes for gluten and vegan ramen but the food tastes nothing - no seasoning, no salt, even the miso ramen was not tasting nothing near miso. It’s frustrating.

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.

Stacey Messer

The gluten free pancakes here were amazing. So grateful to find somewhere where we could enjoy a gluten free meal. The staff were very helpful.

Belen Miguel

Quiet atmosphere and delicious food, it's nice that they have gluten-free bread. A little expensive but the place is worth it.

Alma D'Amico

Very nice atmosphere and tasty burgers. I went with my family to finally eat something gluten free ( I'm celiac). The burger that I had was delicious and the lady spoke English so we could communicate and I could be sure to follow my gluten free regime. Definitely a nice place to eat and relax.

Scotty “Marbles” Merrill

We came here every morning we stayed in Kanazawa! Delicious pancakes and tea, and they were able to accommodate gluten-free (Celiac) with no issues. This place is in a great location with a really wonderful view, and was the perfect way to start our day each morning!

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.

Yahli mordo

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

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

Marvin da Costa

Realy good restaurant. Food was delicious and realy nice server. Especially the gluten free option was nice.

Near Fushimi Millionza I've been curious about it for a while Gluten-free specialty store for health and beauty A cafe where you can eat meal chiffon Damon Demir Chiffon & Sweets meal chiffon & sweets Damonde to I went there a few days ago. A delicious looking chiffon cake It also used vegetables etc. I'm interested in something called meal chiffon. I went during lunch time. I was refused because it was about 3 minutes later😭 (It can't be helped.) meal chiffon lunch set ・Spinach & bacon ・Tomato & pancetta (raw bacon) ・Shirasu & onion ・Chicken & Porcini (Mushroom) 👆3 types of meal chiffon like this Soup, salad and drinks It is a one-plate item. Because I couldn't eat lunch💦 🍓Fresh cream chiffon with strawberries on top caffeine free I had white peach rooibos tea. The chiffon cake was delicious inside a rounded transparent plate baked chiffon fabric When eating while digging It's quite tall so Digging with a fork was a bit of a pain. Also, this plastic transparent plate Should I throw it away every time? When you think about it I was a little concerned. If a transparent container is better Wouldn't a heat-resistant glass container be better? etc. I thought it was an unnecessary help. Cake and rooibos tea The taste was 😋 very delicious ♪♪ The store clerk was 😑 calm and calm. It felt a little cold and unfriendly. The customer service is a little more friendly and has a smile. Is it easy for customers to enter? Maybe it was because it was a weekday with light rain. The store was empty. Is it crowded on weekends and cafe time?

Visited on April 2025. This shop is located on the 3rd floor of Nihonbashi Takashimaya. It was a busy day even though it was a weekday evening. I ordered a drink set of azuki & soft serve ice cream pancakes. I thought the drink set was a little expensive, but I'm glad that it's all-you-can-drink. The most important thing, the pancakes, are gluten-free and made with rice flour, so are they chewy? When I thought about it, it far exceeded my expectations. It's very strange, because it looks like a gummy bear in a "good way". Of course the red bean paste was delicious, but the soft serve ice cream was milky and quite delicious. I feel like I just want to eat a lot of soft serve ice cream. The afternoon tea also looks satisfying, and I'd definitely like to come again.

Ute Schmid

Absolutely amazing!! A must go for celiacs! Great pancake, ramen, scones, ice scream, smoothies. And celiac safe as all is gluten free and vegan. We are in love.

Miles Taylor
