My favorite cafe in Kyoto so far! It’s got the tradition Japanese tables, tatami floor, and garden view. I had Katsu sandwiches and ice coffee and my friend had hot coffee and cheese cake. He said the cake was delicious but a little small while I thought the sandwich was big enough and tasted good. I definitely want to come back just for the traditional setup and atmosphere. The owner was very accommodating to foreigners with little knowledge in Japanese language.

Super cute mom and pop café. We got the omurice (omelette rice) with tonkotsu and everything about it was delicious and hearty, so so good! Beautiful space too, great vibes, and the owner is lovely, highly recommend!

A very cozy spot with traditional seating and tables overlooking a small courtyard. What a great atmosphere. Delicious and unique flavors and foods. A really great place to relax and unwind. The owner is hospitable and kind. His plum iced coffee changed my world! It’s November in Washington D.C., and I’m still drinking a version of the plum iced coffee that he made.
