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

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.

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!

Fukuda was amazing with gluten intolerance, I could cry. He literally walked me through every item that I could eat safely. The food was also amazing! 10/10 would come back!

Very tasty and they were very accomodation and knowledgeable about celiac disease so that I could eat glutenfree without problem. However, it was quite expensive for the size of the meal.

DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE COELIAC!!! I ordered from here the other night (it was actually great food and super well priced) and then went to order again today and reiterated that I’m coeliac and it’s an allergy and the person said that even though it says ‘gluten-free’ it’s ALL IN THE SAME FRYER!!!! I was really disappointed because the person serving me the other night hadn’t told me this and I had a reaction and couldn’t figure out where I’d eaten gluten. Please educate your staff when someone is ordering gluten-free there is a high chance it is an ALLERGY and not by choice.

When I was having lunch at a nearby restaurant called Otamaju, I saw a flyer and found out about it. As it is a gluten-free sweet, Don't worry about that! I asked. These are the most delicious sweets ever. All muffins except those containing chocolate, chiffon cake, and, I bought gateau chocolat, which my 4th grader loves. without feeling guilty, I bought it as a morning gift. I ate one to taste in the car on the way home, and... Really delicious, Texture, exquisite blend, sweetness, Everything is very delicious, I don't snack, I ate it with all my heart's desire. The few remaining muffins, Morning of the next day, I also received it in the morning the next day, No change in taste, I thought it might have helped because it wasn't nearby. If you go nearby, I will also buy everything except chocolate. ( ´ ▽ ` )

Review for こめパンカフェ (Monday & Tuesday) A really good gluten-free cafe serving rice flour baguette sandwiches. My chicken sandwich was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Satsuma potato pottage. The baguette was one of the best gluten-free baguettes I’ve ever had. It was crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. Next time I will try to come earlier in the day so I can buy cinnamon rolls. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also understood wheat and gluten sensitivities very well.

My fiance and I came to Tudore Tranquility for a birthday dinner on the final night of vacation and were blown away. The tasting menu - our favorite course included gluten free bread, a mash of peas, edamame and eggplant, and a really tasty cracker! - was exquisitely prepared and plated. Shouts also to our server Cliff, who was attentive and friendly. This was one of the most interesting meals I/we have eaten, and certainly wonderful restaurant for a special occasion. Even if you are not vegan (I am not), you'll enjoy and appreciate the experience.

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.
