A cute and relaxing cafe with great coffee! If you visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine, don’t forget to check out this place if you need coffee to energize your day!

Your experience will be even better if you sit in the first row, where you can enjoy a view of the trees and the river. While the view isn’t that stunning, it’s very peaceful and perfectly suits the Kyoto vibe :)

They also offer brunch and some snacks, making it a great spot to take a break. I ordered a latte with oat milk, and it tasted great.

I personally enjoyed the cosy atmosphere.. in winter they put little blankets on the seats in front of the lake. I do wish the sitting area had been made more comfortable as the stools and tables were a little too short and low for tall people. We were 2 and entered quite easily at 1pm. The 2 first brunch options were sold out but we tried the two remaining: avocado toast and cauliflower soup. They were delicious, very delicate meals. Very enjoyable

Great cafe stop after hiking Mt Inari. Quaint and cosy place with a rustic atmosphere. Do try their smoked avocado on toast with poached egg and cheesy toast. Their matcha latte is so good. We tried also the vermillion blend coffee, lightly roasted with a hint of green apple flavor. Recommended cafe stop.

Quaint little cafe with a view, very cool old work bench/table in the back too! As a carpenter I loved that. The matcha late with oat milk was incredible! And seasonal veggie plate with hummus was so tasty. Would definitely go back here if I had the chance. 10/10
