Kyotofu

Why is it closed? I loved the sesame tofu and has been dreaming to eat it again!

**2.5 STAR REVIEW**
Came here with the bf, a friend, and her bf. We were sat in a table in the back area, and chose the place because reviews stated they had gluten free options. After arriving we quickly learned that they have gluten free options for desserts and not very many for menu food items. I ordered some edamame, rice, and some other side dish. Needless to say I was still very hungry after this. They did have some amazing gf and vegan desserts though, so that was good.
I would only come back to have dessert, nothing else. If this was solely a dessert place then I would give it 4 – 5 starts, but because I’m rating it as a whole, including the food … it gets 2.5 stars.

OVERRATED & expensive japanese dessert in a cute date-​appropriate café!
we got to try a large variety of desserts because we had a google offer for the tasting. & everything was pretty mediocre
BEST desserts we tried were the green tea crème brûlée & signature sweet tofu. so try these two! … otherwise most desserts tasted as if they were made from boxed mix while others were just TOO SWEET
CASH ONLY

The desserts are yummy here. I had the green tea crème brûlée and the warm mochi chocolate cake!
I read several reviews on Unilocal about how the green tea crème brûlée isn’t that good, but I wanted to try it anyway and I loved it! I like how the desserts aren’t too sweet but just sweet enough to give you a good amount of flavor. It makes me feel less guilty ordering more. Also, the presentation of the desserts are so pretty. The mochi chocolate cake was really good, it came with ice cream which complemented the cake really well!
The tables are really close to each other, so yes, you can hear everything the people on the next table is talking about. I sat in between two different couples who were both arguing with each other. I hope the sweets made them feel better.

Sorry to be a little vulgar, but the black sesame tofu is the exact definition of orgasm in your mouth. JUST DIVINE.
While waiting for the ridiculous 2-​hour line at Totto Ramen, I decided to Unilocal what was around and found this cute little joint with 4 stars and thought, might as well give it a shot. There was also a line at the door, but the tofu desserts are all pre-​made and pre-​packaged so you can just grab it to-​go.
The black sesame tofu comes delicately packaged with sugar syrup on the side for you to add into the tofu. At the first bite, I was mind blown. I really wasn’t expecting a passing-​time dessert to taste so damn good, but it was more than I’ve ever expected. The tofu was so creamy and soft, and the black sesame flavor was seeped into every bite, creating a kind of perfection that words cant even describe. Not too heavy and not too sweet, this was the best way to start my night.

GREEN. TEA. CREME. BRULEE. Enough said. I came here solely for this dessert and it was completely worth it. It was bar far the best crème brûlée that I’ve had so far. It came with a sort of brittle and sorbet on the side. The employee explained with the fruits were but I forgot what it was… Everything was really great all together. The green tea inside was perfectly creamy&sweet without it being too much.
We also tried the green tea matcha latte and got a chocolate gluten-​free muffin. The green tea matcha latte was very green tea-​y and not overly sweet like other coffee shops. We got a portion of simple syrup to put in it. The muffin was very moist and chocolate-​y, very delicious for my first gluten-​free dessert.
Service was very friendly and helpful. Apparently there is also another branch in Seoul! My bf suggested to the employee that they should come to the West Coast to SF, and I wish they would! I would love to try their happy hour and tofu cheesecake that I hear is super soft&fluffy.

I had to update my review because of my most recent experiences at Kyotofu.
First, they have the most delicious chocolate muffin I have ever eaten in my life. It is incredibly moist and has just the right ratio of chocolate chips to cake.
Second, I like the soymilk soft serve more and more every time I eat it. It is so delicious and there are always different flavors to try.
Last but not least, the most recent time I went to Kyotofu, I had come down with the most painful migraine of my life just a few minutes before dinner. The server must have noticed how terrible I looked, because he brought over some onigiris for Chinh T. and me, on the house, which he thought would help me feel better as I ate my mushroom salad. He asked if I were feeling sick, and when I admitted I wasn’t feeling well, he asked if I wanted to drink some broth instead. I nodded in agreement, expecting just some warm soup, but he brought over an entire soba for me to eat and also said it was on him. I honestly would not even expect a boyfriend to be so attentive and thoughtful. This is by far the best service I have ever received from any establishment in my life and another reason that Kyotofu is one of my favorite places in the city.

We were the only customer at 1pm on Tuesday.
Food: 2 stars
Dessert: 4
Service: 2
Lunch ambiance and service were not welcoming, very loud rock music, sharing a dining room with staff packing cookies with cold service… it wasn’t a nice experience! Omakase Bento Box was not worth the price. I will go to Ootyoa for a fantastic lunch for the same. Come only for interestingly delicious desserts. For lunch, stick to the counter sold items and sit by the window.
