Plant-Based Cafe NICE (Fukuoka): 100% Vegan Burgers Near Yakuin

Burgers, falafel, and banana-based ice cream — all of it plant-based, in NICE’s own words: “ALL MENU 100% PLANT-BASED!” with no meat, fish, eggs, or dairy anywhere in the kitchen. It’s the casual counterpoint to Fukuoka’s teishoku-style vegan spots, five minutes from Yakuin-Odori. One note for context: alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, highballs) are on the menu — the food is fully vegan, but this isn’t a dry cafe.

What We Verified

• 100% plant-based menu, stated officially — the concept page says no meat, fish, eggs, or dairy at all; the menu page banners “ALL MENU 100% PLANT-BASED!”. We located and read the official site directly (older guides only knew the city tourism page). Checked July 9, 2026.
• Also vouched by Fukuoka City’s official tourist guide — “fully plant-based meals with no animal products or by-products on the premises.”
• Prices confirmed — teriyaki burger ¥1,210, avocado burger ¥1,265, chili-beans burger ¥1,320, falafel ¥660, turmeric-mango ice cream ¥1,100.
• Alcoholic drinks served — beer/wine ¥660, gin tonic ¥880 (relevant for readers who avoid alcohol venues; no effect on the vegan label).

What We Could Not Confirm

• Exact hours — official site says 11:00–21:00 (L.O. 20:00); the city tourism page says 11:30–20:00. Trust the official site but allow slack.
• Reservation policy.
• Instagram activity (site is current; account text unverifiable by our tools).

What to Order

The teriyaki burger (¥1,210) — the house take on a Japanese flavor — with falafel on the side and the turmeric-mango ice cream (¥1,100).

The Casual Plant-Based Alternative

Fukuoka’s other listed vegan restaurants — Rota Cafe, YADOKARI, Sushi Shima’s vegan lunch — tilt toward Japanese cooking traditions. NICE deliberately doesn’t. The shop’s positioning is casual Western plant-based food — burgers, falafel, banana-based ice cream — served at a price point that reads as a lunch stop rather than an occasion. That’s a distinct and useful category to have covered in a city where the plant-based scene has otherwise leaned toward teishoku and macrobiotic formats. The two things travelers should know about NICE beyond what the listing already covers: the food itself is fully plant-based (100% is the shop’s own wording and Fukuoka City’s official tourism guide agrees), but the beverage menu includes beer, wine, and other alcoholic options at normal restaurant prices. The vegan label applies to the food. If you avoid alcohol venues on principle, you’ll want to know that going in.
