Lowkey

A cafe with gluten-free or vegan meals. Few seats, and during my visit it was all solo customers, but there are no counter seats, so seats fill quickly. I ordered the gluten-free avocado toast. They mentioned, "Meals take a little time," and although there was no waiting customer, I felt it took longer than expected. May be a rice-flour-bread thing — thawing takes time, etc. The onigiri plate ordered after me came out quickly. After eating, the rice-flour-bread satiation hit, and I was right not to add the topping (salmon or prosciutto). At first glance it looks small, but for women — unless very hungry — it's plenty. The carrot and tomato add color, satisfying visually too. The Instagram post says they use vegan butter, so without toppings, it might be a vegan menu? (Confirm with the shop for accurate info.) The gluten-free toast crust is crispy — happy! However, in some places it was too hard to cut even with knife and fork (lol). For the white part inside (the crux of gluten-free toast), it's passable. Those who've tried multiple gluten-free breads can probably eat it without issue, but eaten as toast alone rather than open-sandwich, it might feel "hmm…" For drink, I panicked and ordered Americano, then realized there were options to change to soy or oat milk — wished I'd had a latte. The smoking area is apparently the benches on both sides of the entrance door — the door was open, and tobacco smell drifted even to the seat farthest inside. The rice is no-pesticide, etc. — overall the items are very impressive. Yet vegan/gluten-free-minded but smoking-allowed (outside the entrance) gave a rare impression. But considering carefully, regardless of food preferences or smoking habits, this seems to be the shop's concept — embracing diversity — and that fits the area too.
