This Yakitori burger and this cup of coffee had no right to be so good!!!! Back in my home country for about 2-3 months already, but still dreaming of this burger. Bread was soft (felt like it was steamed?) with a very tasty burger filling. This was really so good I contemplated ordering another one of it again. Licked up the burger wrapper too 😂 I would rate this 100000/10!!! Super yummy.

I had a very terrible experience in this cafe.
First of all, the place is really small, the tables are so tiny that the dishes can barely fit in it. There's no service at all, you have to ask for the food at the counter and go to pick it up when it's ready. But the worst part was the food itself, I can try my best to think about a positive aspect about it but I simply can't find any. Everything was ridicously tiny, like extremely small hamburgers and slices of pizza (also different and with way less ingredients than the photos on the menu). The taste wasn't good either, and I'd say that I could forgive everything since at least I had the chance to eat something gluten free, but the ridicously high prices make everything unforgivable. I seriously felt played around, even though I ordered a lot of things I left the cafe with my stomach completley empty, but mad because I paid way way too much for what I received.
I know that gluten free and vegan restaurants in Japan are very pricy, but in many other places I had at least left the restaurant satisfied. Here I felt joked around and tricked instead.
Absolutley not recommended.

Stopped in for a quick pit stop as part of our Tokyo sightseeing and this did not disappoint! We had the rainbow cake and tiramisu, both were absolutely delicious, especially being vegan and gluten free. Would highly recommend!

Cute little tea and sweet dessert shop! Got the milk tea, earl gray, lemon soda, and rainbow cake. Rainbow cake has different flavors: red yeast rice, carrot, squash, spinach, butterfly pea, and sweet potato.
The cake is not too sweet, good thin layer of frosting, and one impressive pro is that it is 100% vegan!! The entire shop is vegan.

The lemon soda was my favorite. Had a good pop of flavor. Then milk tea was a medium strong tea with slight watered down taste. Earl gray tastes like earl gray.

Overall was a great resting place after walking around Kappabashi kitchen street.

Worst experience ever in Japan. Squeezy layout and zero service. You are expected to collect and return your food. Signature rainbow cake is very dry. Americano and latte taste weird and our tummies were funny 20mins after consumption. Go at your own risk.
