Pupu Kitchen And Health Food Shop

The food at this restaurant is tasty and the place is very roomy. It's a bit odd that they don't offer meal sets without coffee, and you can't change your drink once you've ordered. If you want a different drink, you'll have to pay for it separately.

There aren't a lot of choices on the menu, but the food is nutritious and tasty. The parfaits are especially fantastic!

It only serves lunch from 11:30am – 2pm. So if you want to try the lunch set, make sure you arrive in time. The lunch set has a selection of small dishes that changes from time to time. The taste and variety are great. I especially like the slightly wasabi flavored creamy potato salad. The seasonal soft serve ice cream parfait tastes as good as it looks. It uses matcha and black sesame syrups, and a scoop of sweet red bean. Another must-try is this soft serve ice cream thick shake. Yes, this shake uses soft serve ice cream! The result is thick, creamy and delicious. The health store outside Pupu Kitchen has a lot of vegan groceries, including noodles, snacks, sauces, and even cookies and ice cream. The owner there seems to be familiar with which item is vegan. When I accidentally picked a non-vegan curry, he was able to let me know.

Super friendly staff, great menu of clean, healthy food with lots to choose from especially milkshakes and parfaits for dessert which is great if you're a sweet tooth like me. Well priced for the portion sizes and a nice bike ride away from Nagoya castle. Fantastic!

For a big city, Nagoya's vegan options are very limited. But luckily there's a place like Pupu Kitchen. We had the daily lunch set and a parfait for dessert. The food was amazing!
