This is my partner and my favorite place to eat out in Kyoto and Japan in general! The food is so delicious, it's made with love and the flavors make you want to come back again and again. There are a variety of options including for vegetarians, vegans and also me with coeliac disease. When i said i could not eat gluten or 'komugi' (wheat) the staff went and consulted with the chef and told me my options. The environment is chilled and great records play including David Bowie and The Smiths. It has a tropical vibe with plants. The people that work there are so friendly and courteous. This was our second trip to kyoto and we found sunshine cafe the first time and couldn't wait to come back. It's closed Tuesdays and located on the 5th level so you need to catch an elevator. Look out for the yellow sign on the pavement near the big crab on the side of a building in kyotos main arcade. DELICIOUS, YUM, NUTRITIOS, RELAXING, FRIENDLY, TASTY!
