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.

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.

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.

If you want to drink matcha latte in Kyoto, this is the place♡! Enjoy authentic coffee made by baristas Here Kyoto's second store opens in Kiyomizu-dera Temple. [here Kyoto Kiyomizu] ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎ Matcha omelet 700yen Gluten Free Omelette Matcha ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎ Matcha caramel affogato latte 850yen Matcha Caramel Affogato Latte Filled with matcha sauce I went to Kyoto because I wanted to drink a strong matcha latte ♡ Astringency of matcha × bitterness of espresso × Saltiness of caramel sauce x sweetness of milk The latte that spread in my mouth was so delicious ❤︎ ⸝⸝ A chewy and fluffy omelet with a buttery flavor. 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! !

Nikenchaya has been here at the side entrance to Yasaka Shrine for almost 500 years. Today the storehouse is a beautifully lit cafe. I had the Oshiruko, a red bean soup with fresh Kyoto gluten and mochi balls, but what’s famous here is the Dengaku Tofu, tofu covered in their special peppery sauce.

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