Wow wow wow. Amazing. A must visit. Came with our friends who are non GF and they loved the normal offering. The GF option of rice noodles was so delicious. Very attentive service. Thank you.

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.

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 😊

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.

The açaí bowl was very good; however, we found the service disinterested and the atmosphere lacking. If you’re in the area and need a gluten-free bite, it’s worth a stop, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to visit this location.

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.

sad( ; ; ). The sponge is like hard rubber and is dry and hard to chew. Fresh cream makes me feel sick after I put it in my stomach. It's gluten free, isn't it? One cake cost nearly 1000 yen. We sell frozen cakes. The family only ate one bite. The staff worked hard. This is an oversight on the part of the owner. Aren't you ashamed of selling something like this? Do you think these are delicious to eat? The good thing is that the staff was polite and pleasant. Ingredients were also clearly labeled. Never Again
