Doughnut Cafe nicotto & mam, located near the Manga Museum, offers a uniquely Japanese take on the classic treat. This charming spot focuses on wholesome ingredients, crafting a natural yeast dough that is notably free of eggs and dairy, making it friendly for those with common allergies. The true highlight is the delightful texture: the doughnuts are soft yet satisfyingly chewy (mochi-mochi). The flavor profile is deliberately mild and not too sweet, reflecting a refined Japanese sensibility. This focus on natural, balanced sweetness is perfect for those who enjoy subtlety, but visitors with a strong sweet tooth might find the taste falls slightly short of expectations.

Good to have vegan options, even if it's white sugar. Tasty cream but everything was too sweet. The donut texture was just ok. The matcha latte was way too sweet. You need to order a drink too, to sit down. Only 4 seats, all facing the wall.

It was so good, we immediately went back for more even though we just had lunch at the famous soba shop about 50 meters away. We tried their soy custard donuts and strawberry coated donuts. Note: these are Japanese style donuts which are known to be chewy in texture. So don’t go in expecting fluffy soft donuts, but a unique chewy texture. 1. The soy custard was so so special. If you can only choose one thing to try here, it has to be it. Unlike normal yellowish-custard, their soy custard was fluffy, not too sweet, and balances the chewy donut perfectly. Extra sweetness comes from the icing sugar coated around the donut. 2. The strawberry donut was also really good. It was fresh and tasted like real strawberries. Not overly sweet with the right ratio of glaze to flour. Through the window, you can also see them baking fresh batches. There are about 4 seats by the wall at the back for those who want a quick sit. They also serve coffee with soy, oat, or almond milk. Would definitely recommend!!

Just a few vegan options We arrived there at 5 p.m. and were lucky they had some doughuts over. But unfortunately just the doughnuts without glace are vegan (the host told us)! Only plain, mocha and kinako. Kinako was sold out but we tried the plain and mocha ones and they were good, but not outstanding. They offer some drinks, you have to order one drink if you wanna sit inside. Matcha soy smoothie was sold out, so i tried the matcha latte (don't forget to order with soy milk!!). The latte was okay.
