While strolling around Myogadani, I suddenly came across the ``biossa gluten-free bakery specialty store''. Attracted by the word gluten-free, I decided to buy the "salted butter roll" to try it out. When I took a bite, I couldn't help but smile at how delicious it was. The rich flavor of butter and the perfect amount of salt spreads in your mouth, and the chewy texture is irresistible. Butter rolls are delicious enough to eat on their own, but they also go well with a variety of dishes and side dishes. You can imagine what kind of combinations you would enjoy. There are many delicious bakeries in Myogadani, so if the bread at the first shop you stumble across is so delicious, you may be satisfied without trying other bakeries. However, if you definitely add ``Biossa gluten-free bakery specialty store'' to your repertoire, you will be able to live a richer baking life. The bread at this shop is completely gluten-free (rice flour bread). When you think of gluten-free bread, you have the impression that you have to compromise on taste and texture, but this is not the case at all with the salted butter rolls here. In fact, I found it to be so perfectly delicious that I didn't even realize it was gluten-free. When you come to Myogadani, be sure to stop by ``biossa gluten-free bakery specialty store.'' I'm sure you'll be waiting for an encounter with delicious bread that will change your concept of gluten-free.

Had lunch here today, phenomenal curry. Our waitress informed us the cafe is closing for 2 months and will only serve coffee and gluten free cake going forward. No more meals.

Fresh gluten-free food has never tasted so good! Very clean and good service. The cream pasta was light and good. The waffles were so fluffy that I forgot they were gluten free. Celiac Friendly!

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!

Ambroise Labelle

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.

Showed coeliac card and was assured it would be fine but later found out they were unable to accomodate due to cross contamination.

Delicious taco bowl, perfectly seasoned and it was gluten free which is hard to find in Japan! There are a few other gluten free items on the menu too :) well worth the visit.

I can't do more than give it a 5 for everything, the chef is super nice and most of the dishes are gluten free. They come marked and everything. An experience in a super special place, in a basement on a secluded street

Poor client management and incorrect menu. How come the customer gets blamed for not reporting food allergy when ordered “gluten free” and got non gluten free pasta?

Diana “Dee” Falvo

Limited options for gluten free but at least marked on the menu. Salad was healthy and tasty.

I had a late brunch here with a friend. I am gluten sensitive, and she is lactose intolerant, so we thought that this place would be perfect for our sweet tooth cravings. Unfortunately, the pancake options are just two, and, if I may say, they are also quite expensive considering the average pancake price in town. That said, I am aware that in this society, finding allergens free food options in restaurants is not only extremely hard but also a quite expensive thing. We were, of course, interested in trying their limited/fall edition 焼き芋 pancake set and, leaving aside the fact that, as always, it looked really pretty but mostly tasted like sugar, the worst thing was actually the waiter's behaviour which was kinda rude and looked bored and annoyed most of the time. Considering the food price, he could've at least pretended to smile a little bit, right? Don't know if we want to come back again.

Little oasis in the airport with tasty food and friendly and speedy service. As well as vegan, there are gluten free options.

We wanted to try the mochi(next to this place) and since hungry and found availability we entered and tried their delicious gluten free pancakes with salad & the gluten-free vegan bento, even if we are not vegans 🥴 but I can say it was delicious! A bit expensive but the personnel were nice, good food, cozy place mostly central and especially gluten-free!!! I recommend the bento! Thank you for preparing these goodies for us coeliacs! We are very happy to be able to taste it! 😄

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.

I have celiac and went here for lunch yesterday. The food was INCREDIBLE and the atmosphere was so special. It’s a tiny restaurant, maybe 6 seats? And you need to reserve in advance. Each course was delightful and impeccably made, and you get to watch it being prepared right next to your table. I could not recommend this more highly.

Lauren Ramsey

Such cool & unique flavors! Organic and high-quality ingredients used. Gluten-free and vegan options. I've been looking for something like this in Tokyo. Love love love

Kristen Huber

Place is pretty small and only has stools, but besides that I really enjoyed my gluten-free lasagna

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.

Gluten free sandwiches in a very cute cafe in Harajuku! Safe and yummy.

Sabrina Gallardo

Veery yummy vegan+ gluten-free + not sugar (if requested) option in Tokyo. I had the egg crepe, and it was a great balance of chickpeas for the protein, veggies, buckwheat crepe and it came with a little avocado and fermented carrot. A very complete dish. The staff was friendly, the place is nice and I could feel they have high-quality ingredients for a reasonable price. Highly recommend if you are around 🌱✨️

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.
