Very nice place to grab a cuppa and relax for a while. Both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as loads of vintage stuff where the yellow single speed bicycle is. The coffee shop also doubles as an antique shop which can be found on the second floor, though when we visited it was closed. Their cold brew really hit the spot especially considering it was 38 degrees when these pics were taken.

Employees are amazingly friendly and kind, and coffee and dessert were so good, either The calm and quite atmosphere became too much of an advantage when resting in a cafe or concentrating on something I'm willing to come again If I come back to Kyoto

Went today and ordered two drinks and a snack. Good coffee and friendly service. Wait time for two drinks was long, not a problem if you’re sitting inside Sandwiches looked good, would recommend

Nice spot in a calm part of Kyoto. Cafe latte was very good with nice latte art. On request water was given to me. Toast was crunchy but mushrooms surprised me as I dont eat them.

Little coffee shop with amazingg fruit sandwich. Simple yet so good. The latte is okay, although it’s good enough to accompany my sandwich. Sitting at the back outdoor area would be a nice choice to enjoy them over great books on the afternoon.

Nice little coffee shop. Simple menu. Good food. You order the food at the front, then go in to wait for food. The food was fresh and tasted good. We had duck sandwiches, coffee, ginger coffee and apple juice.

Cute spot. Very nice staff. Coffee was wonderful but a little small. The equivalent $6 CAD got me a 10oz iced coffee, which was 40% ice, so even less. I drank it in two sips. Quality is good, value is not. However, it's nice to support this small business. I recommend you guys make the iced coffee larger for the price, otherwise, definitely support this small business.
