Vegginy

If you are looking for a healthy and cozy vegetarian café, ‘ Vegginy ‘ is the place to be. Vegginy opened it’s doors in January 2017 and is literally a hidden gem on a 5 minute walk from Tozai Line’s Kyoto Shiyakusho-Mae station, located in the basement of an apartment building.

The entrance is a little difficult to find since googlemaps doesn’t clearly show the location, especially if you arrive early and the sign has not been put outside yet. The café is located in the apartment building left of the ‘Vine Oak Aiina’ building with the entrance being on the left which has a sign to a place called ‘Hikari-yurari’, another bar that is also located in the basement. Go down the stairs and at the end of the hallway you will find a wooden door that is leads to Vegginy. Inside you will find a small cozy interior with two tables for four and a couple of counter seats.

The menu of Vegginy is completely Vegan and offers very delicious items like ‘A special Vegan burger’, ‘Power buddha bowl (consisting of quinoa, carrots rape, tofu with spicy peanut sauce, tahini sauce, spicy tomato sauce etc) and Tofu Bahn Mi which is a Vietnamese Sandwich (with sweet soy sauce, carrots rape, homemade vegan mayonnaise, fresh vegetables served with a whole wheat baguette). For an extra charge all three dishes have optional soup or Rosemary potatoes. For dessert Veginny also serves vegan ice cream made from rice that is grown without pesticides.

Veginny is a fantastic vegan/vegetarian place that is great for vegans as well as non-vegans. The atmosphere is warm and the food tastes great! Definitely recommended.
