Great

Had a great burger and a side of potatoes. Really excellent homemade food. We had to wait outside for 30 minutes before getting a seat inside, but it was worth waiting for.

Probably the best burger in Japan!😋

This was probably the best burger I've ever had in Japan so far. Texture, flavor, size, everything was on point!
It's very rare for a burger to be filling in here, I think. Usually, they are very small and overpriced. Here you get what you pay for. Even the bun and patty are made in-house. Will be back soon!
It's a bit hard to find, bc it's in the basement.

Excellent dinner

There were counter seats available when we arrived (be careful in Kyoto, many close early or are only open during the day). We were welcomed in really nicely. They had 3 options to choose from. We ordered a side of the rosemary potatoes, I ordered the Buddha bowl and my partner had the hamburger. The bowl came with rice and the tofu in it was delicious. It all tasted fresh, was a good size and stayed interesting throughout the meal. My hibiscus kombucha was nice too. My partner loved the burger. Said it was one of the best burgers he’d eaten.

The potatoes were delicious too.

Lovely staff, nice setup and fresh and tasty food.

Yum

We ordered take out and everything was tasty. We had the Buddha bowl, open faced sandwich, and the burger with potatoes. Everything was super fresh and flavourful. Made onsite and from scratch.
The service was really good. It was just the one chef and she was working her [censored] off. She kept apologizing because the food took a while but we did order everything on the menu.

Vegamazing

Vegginy is a very small place in a basement store but it is filled with bright shining people preparing the most amazing tasting fresh food. We loved the Power Buddha bowl and the Korean BBQ Tofu sandwich. Both can with either carrot soup or rosemary potatoes. The seasonal hibiscus kombucha had just the right effervescence and delicate flavor. It was delightfully refreshing. The highly recommended muffins had a not too sweet taste of banana, walnuts and chocolate. The sincere kindness of the staff warmed my heart greatly. Arigatou gozaimasu

Best vegan restaurant in Kyoto?

Had the vegan banh mi and it was incredibly tasty, the owner was incredibly friendly and passionate and the vibes were super relaxing.

One of my favourites in Kyoto

This restaurant was one of my favourites in Kyoto. I absolutely loved their Buddha Bowl. Not only does it look amazing, but it's also incredibly delicious. The menu, however, changes weekly, so they don't always have it. We also tried their burger (which is really difficult to eat, but tastes amazing) and the sandwhich - both incredible. Their home made Kombucha also never dissapointed. Last but not least, if they have muffins left - do yourself a favour and get one (or two). They are absolutely to die for. I tried the banana muffin and the peach muffin and words can't describe how nice they were!

Delicious

Everything we ordered was fantastic. The burger is probably one of the best vegan burgers I ever tried. Dessert was amazing too.

The place is very small and with few (and very friendly) staff, the ambient is nice.

Small but delicious menu

They offer only a few dishes, but it was so good, we came back the next day.
The burger is huge and very tasty, but also on the messy side. The burger patty is quite mushy, yet very tasty.
The Buddha bowl had nothing we didnt like, everything tastes very well.
As side dish we got some rosemary potatoes, consisting of three different kinds of potatoes from Japan.
Also their homemade lemonades are very tasty and refreshing.

The restaurant is located in the basement of a building in a quiet side street. They got a little sign with the menu out on the street.
Inside are two tables and some chairs on the bar.
We came for dinner on the weekend shortly after opening and got a table instantly. Service is very nice, but even if not super busy, the food takes a while.

Great food with lots of vegetable

Lots of vegetable in the meals, which is rare in Japan.
The staff is nice and the mood is relaxing.
The side dishes and beverages are a bit pricey but seems also great.

Pros: Lots of vegetable, Comfy

Cons: Maybe a bit pricey

Great food, great vibe

The food was really good. It was nice to get something lighter and full of veggies. I found that many vegan option in japan are quite heavy food.

The staff was also really nice.

I would recommend to try their Kombucha as well!

Hidden Gem

The service is pretty good and the staff really welcoming. Even though I visited during busy hours, what I got was definitely worth the wait! The hot fresh chocolate muffin was delicious and satisfying. I recommend it to all Kyoto visitors.

Burger and sandwich were good

We got the burger and the falafel sandwich. The burger was good, though it did taste different than most vegan burgers I usually have. So if you are looking for a proper, typical, vegan burger I would likely go somewhere else, but if you want to taste something new then this is the place! I think the burger is maybe made of mushrooms and it has a very strong taste. The sandwich was good too but it was small and probably not filling enough to be considered a meal on its own.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Portions too small

Small but really good food

Really friendly staff, nice interieur - and really good food. The menu is rather small and there are no windows but you will forget this when enjoying the food.

Awesome!

I got the falafel sandwich and the carrot ginger soup. Both were delicious and quite filling, I ended up saving the last 1/3 of my sandwich for an afternoon snack. Staff were super friendly and handled the busy period well.

Friendly place with good food!

Ended up taking away the vegetable sandwich and rosemary potatoes as I was short on time but the staff prepared the food quickly and made sure I wouldn’t miss my train.

The sandwich was huge and very filling. The potatoes were also beautifully soft and seasoned.

The huge advantage for me was the fact they brew their own kombucha in house and make their pickles. The strawberry earl gray kombucha was delicious!

Pros: Great food , Friendly staff (also speak English), Kombucha!

Excellent & Filling

HUGE burger prepared expertly. Delicious Buddha Bowl. Unbelievable, large, moist banana walnut muffins. I may need to revisit Kyoto just to buy these muffins. Great, friendly staff and owners. Well worth your time to drop in here!

Pros: Vegan muffin!, Burger!, Power Bowl

Great vegan food & friendly staff

All the food and drinks we had were great. The burger is huge but with a bit of squeezing it can be eaten without cutlery. 😉 The chili beans sandwich was delicious too.
We also had the soup of the day, a very tasty broccoli soup. The rosemary potatoes were great as well.
I can also highly recommend their homemade lemon soda!

Pros: Delicious food, English speaking staff

Tiny gem

This is a very small venue down one flight of stairs on a small street - look out for the sign outside so you don’t miss it. Everything is vegan and while the menu is small (though options change regularly), the food is clearly put together with a lot of care and passion. We tried the fried potatoes (a variety of potato types) and the burger - it was huge, and not just in terms of Japan sizes. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan , Good food, Passionate staff

Cons: Small menu, only two or three mains a day

Fab staff, fab falafel, long wait times.

We popped into vegginy with a group of 4 and were seated immediately at the bar for lunch service, something that doesn’t happen all too often in Kyoto! Awesome.
However, dining here was a 2 hour experience as once we were sat down, it took the staff over an hour to prepare our meals. We ordered 2 falafel sandwiches, the burger and the nacho rice dish.
To give the staff some credit, the place and kitchen are very small, and they are preparing excellent quality food. Unfortunately for myself and my partner we ordered the burger and nacho rice dish which were really lacking in flavour, and the burger was quite difficult to eat, spilling out everywhere as soon as I crushed it down (think classic vegan veggie patty with nothing dense to hold it together). Eating the food though did however make us feel pretty excellent - real quality ingredients. Unfortunately I can’t comment on the falafel personally but this place gets 5 stars because apparently it was to die for - our meat eating friends that we were with said that it was the best food they’d had all trip, and that they’d never known falafels could be so moist and delicious. They concluded it was well worth the wait.
Tl;dr: beautiful staff, very long wait time to get your food, get the falafel sandwich. ❤️

Pros: Falafel sandwich, Beautifully decorated interior, Super delightful and friendly staff

Cons: Very long wait for food , Vegan burger, Hibiscus lemonade

Fantastic little restaurant!

Look out for the little cactus and succulent box and go down the flight of stairs next to it to enter 😉
The food is nothing short of amazing, fresh and delicious. We had the falafel sandwich with potatoes, hot homemade lemonade and the gelato for dessert 😋 this would certainly be a go-to of mine if I lived in Kyoto!

Away from the crowds, tasty find!

Down a flight of stairs from the street, you’ll find this friendly place with fresh veges in burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Very well priced and super tasty, staff are lovely too.

Pros: Good sized portions , Cheap, Food is yum, staff are cool

Cons: Can be hard to find, just look for the sign board
