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.

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.

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

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..
