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.

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 😊

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.
