Cafe Phalam

Unclaimed

Perfect light meal. I did not realize it was all vegetarian, lol, the burger was delicious! And my matcha was also very delicious! I got to sit at a traditional table and take my shoes off, but they had regular seats also. Super cute place.

Very comfortable cafe with great vegetarian fare not far from Kyoto station. The food tasted homemade and the ingredients were seasonal and well selected. The handmade menu was also translated in english. Great window seats to watch the scene on the street out front and a warm community dining area to chat and plan your next adventure in downtown kyoto.

Delicious vegan breakfast set. Every bite was the best bite, a really nice mix of flavors, textures, sweet and savory. Soy latte was great, too.

On a quiet street in the typical morning in Kyoto, they offered a breakfast set that felt like a gentle hug to start the day. The beautifully arranged plate featured a hearty variety of vegetables, each cooked and/or seasoned with care—from sweet carrots and earthy root vegetables to hijiki seaweed, lentils, and a refreshing salad dressed in two different sauces. A scoop of bright beetroot paste added a playful splash of color and tang. The multi-grain rice was nutty and satisfying, perfectly complementing the lightly creamy soup on the side. The small bowl of banana yogurt with granola and dried fruit added a lovely sweet note to finish. And their black coffee was Bold and smooth, with just the right amount of depth and bitterness. The cozy wooden interior and hand-drawn mug design made the experience even more personal. It’s not just breakfast—it’s a moment of calm and nourishment, both physically and emotionally?

I got the Buddha bowl and chocolate hojicha muffin and both could not have been more satisfied. The Buddha bowl was so fresh and flavorful and deliciously filling. The workers were very kind and atmosphere is so cute and cozy. Would definitely recommend coming here?
