Coffee in Kyoto

Founded in 1934, with a 1941 interior modelled on the grand hall of a luxury liner. In 2003 it became the first café in Japan registered as a Tangible Cultural Property.

A Teramachi kissaten open since 1932 that roasts its own blend in house. Known for its hotcakes and Viennese coffee, and its house-roasted beans are also sold to take home.

Opened in 2015 in a renovated 200-year-old machiya with a small courtyard garden, roasting its beans on site and brewing through cloth filters. Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
