Must visit coffee shop just in front of Kinkaku-ji. The coffee is amazing and the atmosphere is like 50 years of Japanese unique coffee places.

Very very friendly and nice elderly couple is welcoming you in this old looking cafe. We were surprised that they offer a very modern and western breakfast and it was delicious! Best cafe so far in Japan and a lot of homemade ingredients! They even got WiFi here 😳

First time in Japan and by-far the best iced mocha java I've had in my life! The cream was so rich and delicious. Partner got the Kinpaku coffee with edible gold flakes that looked made for royalty (complete with gold spoon). Both for under 1200 yen, it was a steal for the quality. They have an English menu for visitors, give complimentary water and is right beside the bus stop back to the JR lines.

One of my most missed places from when I was in Japan! The owner is incredibly friendly - definitely take pictures and join the book where so many travellers have drawn! The coffee is really good and expensive. I tried something called "Austrian Coffee" which was something new and exciting for me. I strongly recommend this place to stop by if you're visiting Kinkakuji. Good coffee, quiet and hidden enough that you wont be inundated with crowds and tourists!

My husband and I stopped in while waiting at the bus stop. The couple who own the cafe were so kind and accommodating. There’s an English menu, and they spoke very good English. The food was just what we have been looking for on our stay in Kyoto. We both got the hot ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. I also got their specialty coffee that had gold flakes on top. Not only was the presentation of the coffee beautiful, but the flavor was strong and delicious.

A small quaint little cafe, it's only a block away from Kinkakuji pavillion. It had a full english menu and the service was excellent. It also has free wifi that actually works. The bathroom was clean and beautiful. Theres only 1 for everyone. The coffee was delicious as well as the castella cake and I will definitely go back there in the future.

A charming place that is surprisingly quiet and calm despite being in front of a busy bus stop. The cheese toast was delicious and reminded me of home. A nice place to collect your thoughts or plan your next destination.

Stopped by after going to the Golden Pavilion just to rest up for a bit and figuring out what to do next. It was a uniquely decorated cafe with staff in a butler attire. They have menus on the table (English ones on request) as well as a dessert cabinet to pick out some cakes.There seemed to only be one person doing everything so it did take a bit of time to get everything we ordered (3 drinks and snacks).This place did have one of the nicer pancakes in Japan that I had tried.

Awesome coffee shop located just down the hill from the Golden Shrine, right next to the bus stop into town. There’s a lovely ambience in here, it feels like a 1930s coffee house. The coffee is prepared with great care and has an excellent flavour. The cakes are beautiful too.I strongly recommend pausing here for coffee and refreshments. You will not be disappointed.
