We accidentally found this small vegan place, Vechill, while strolling in the neighborhood.
They were about to close, but we told them that we would come back for lunch another day.
We decided to try the soup/deli/”paffin (it’s kind of like the mixture of muffin and pain (bread)).
The soup was made with various “white” vegetables, like lotus root, napa cabbage, onion, and apple.
For the paffin we chose the pumpkin one.
Everything was very good.
I particularly liked the marinated persimmon and grilled Daikon.
The paffin was also great.
It was soft and had a wonderful pumpkin flavor.
We also tried their pancakes made of rice flour and Okara; we added the sauteed Satsumaimo (Japanese sweet potato) and apple as a topping.
The pancakes had a nice crispiness outside, and it was moist inside.
The texture was unique, but we liked it.
We will definitely go back.
According to Google, their Acai bowl seems very popular, so we may try that next time.
After lunch we stopped at this tiny bakery, Tit Bit, that the staff at Vechill told us about.
It’s a vegan & gluten-free bakery.
They had mostly cookies.
The staff (owner?) told us that a lot had been already sold out.
The lady at Vechill told us that the focaccia here was very good, so we will have to come back for it.
We got cookies, but we were not ready to go home yet.
While we were strolling, we saw this traditional Japanese incense shop and decided to go in as we were looking for some incense.
It was a beautiful shop that shows history.
They told me that they have been in business for 88 years!
It was enjoyable to look at both traditional and modern types.
After stopping at a few more shops, we finally got home and enjoyed the baked goods we bought at Tit Bit.
This is Gâteau Breton.
Raspberry Chocolate Cookie Sandwich.
Both were very good.
The cookies were “buttery”, and the cream in the sandwich was rich.
You wouldn’t know that they are plant-based or gluten-free!
