We stumbled upon this charming café on our way to a garden, and ended up eating our way through nearly the whole menu—no regrets! The cakes are out of this world. I had the strawberry sakura cake (a dream!) and a croque madame that was so light and perfectly balanced, with an egg that was just chef’s kiss. The matcha? Easily one of the best I’ve had in Kyoto so far. To top it all off, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. A total hidden gem.

The café's menu gives you pairing options and rates the compatibility of flavors between drinks and desserts. I had the lavender cheesecake and mint mocha latte. It was phenomenal. The man behind the counter was exceptionally polite; and the place offers a nice, peaceful, and cozy atmosphere. It's perfect for an after-lunch snack or a relaxing denouement to sightseeing activities. I can't recommend this place enough.

(2 Aussie parents and 2 small kids) The atmosphere was relaxed, and the decor fresh and calm. The drinks were delicious and full of flavour. We got the iced maccha latte, the coconut and cinnamon mocha, and fruit frappe and off menu warm frothy milk for our 3yo. The young couple running the place were very friendly. It was the perfect stop walking between Kinkakuji and Ryoanji.

This cafe caught our eye as we walked by for its aesthetics and deserts mentioned! I'm so glad we stopped as it lived up to our expectations. The beverages were excellent Latte with oat milk and coconut and cinnamon mocha. The sakura and strawberry cheesecake was yummy as well. They have gluten free desserts. Very pleasant staff. The ambience was very nice.
