We could recommend you an entire list of things you\u2019ll want to do there. Apart from lots of shops and shrines, there\u2019s the Kyoto Samurai Ninja Museum, the Kyoto International Manga Museum and the Kyoto Gyoen National Garden where the Kyoto Imperial Palace is located. We think all of them are must-sees, but this article isn\u2019t about sightseeing and things to do in Kyoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know shopping and sightseeing can be exhausting. Sometimes you need to sit down, take a rest and refuel your energy levels before continuing. For that reason alone, you\u2019ll be pleased to discover that the Kyoto cafe culture is second to none. And believe us, the Japanese sweets they serve in Kyoto cafes are such delicious treats you\u2019ll struggle to decide which one, or more, you are going to indulge in.

It\u2019s located right next to the Takase River (Takasegawa River),&nbsp; which is lined with cherry blossom trees. This modern cafe has huge, almost panoramic, windows so even indoors, it almost feels like you\u2019re sitting outside. It\u2019s a superb spot to practice hanami in Kyoto while enjoying bite of a Kyoto dessert or cup of fresh coffee. The cafe is very popular for this reason, so be sure to get here early to make sure you have a good spot for viewing the cherry blossoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for a brunch spot in Kyoto then you\u2019ll love murmur coffee kyoto. They make an incredible sweet toast from thick slices of bread topped with honey or marshmallow spread as well as French toast with ice cream. Their coffee is first class as well. If you\u2019re looking for a Kyoto cafe with delicious food, delectable coffee, and a view too good to be true, be sure to make time to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by murmur coffee kyoto\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.625;width:1300px;height:auto\" title=\"2murmur coffee kyoto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by murmur coffee kyoto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>murmur coffee kyoto<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Address<\/strong><\/td><td>103 Hachiojicho, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, 600-8139<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Google Map<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/dZr7Q6a8DJdhdiUo8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/dZr7Q6a8DJdhdiUo8<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/machiyalocals.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 600px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/wp\/wp-content\/themes\/mih_new\/asset\/images\/common\/random_sp.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/wp\/wp-content\/themes\/mih_new\/asset\/images\/common\/random_pc.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph iC-txt\">Experience authentic Japanese cuisine at the best restaurants in Japan as recommended by locals.<br>Book a table at top-rated restaurants to enjoy exquisite <em>kaiseki<\/em> (course-style) Japanese dinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-section-caption wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Colorful and trendy ice cream sodas<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">SHIN-SETSU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/241139592_1628453824153553_2845809663354602423_n.jpeg\" alt=\"SHIN-SETSU\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3636363636363635;width:1080px;height:auto\" title=\"SHIN-SETSU\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by SHIN-SETSU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SHIN-SETSU<\/strong> is one Kyoto cafe we go to on a regular basis because they have something special on the menu that we can\u2019t resist, especially in the warmer months! Ice ream sodas may be a little out of fashion in many parts of the world, but not in Japan. For us, cream sodas are one of the best Kyoto desserts you can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We absolutely love the retro furnishings of SHIN-SETSU too. Having a cream soda there makes you feel as if you\u2019ve time traveled back to the 1960s. At SHIN-SETSU they don\u2019t just serve regular cream soda with a scoop of ice cream on top, they have twenty different flavors for you to choose from. The pineapple and melon are a must have and so are the chocolate chip pancakes of you\u2019re looking for something to snack on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by SHIN-SETSU\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.625;width:1300px;height:auto\" title=\"SHIN-SETSU\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by SHIN-SETSU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>SHIN-SETSU<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Address<\/strong><\/td><td>277 Enpukujimaecho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8045<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Google Map<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/aZNWvLXEPzGHYpML9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/aZNWvLXEPzGHYpML9<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-section-caption wp-block-paragraph\"><em>An elegant, retro classic cafe<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kissa Giraffe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9cf6141818a2a60ba15998b01348ec7d.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Kissa Giraffe\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" title=\"Kissa Giraffe\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Kissa Giraffe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name of this Kyoto cafe may mislead you into thinking it has a zoo-style d\u00e9cor, but you\u2019ll be surprised to find this cafe has a classic and almost retro feeling interior. <strong>Kissa Giraffe<\/strong> has an old fashioned atmosphere, but one that\u2019s totally different to SHIN-SETSU. Think comfortable elegance that\u2019s not over the top and you\u2019ll have the right idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We go to this Kyoto cafe for their reasonably priced lunch dishes and the pudding. The Neapolitan noodles are really tasty and so is their pudding. The pudding is similar to a cr\u00e8me caramel with a set custard base and a caramelized sugar topping. What makes it so special is an extra ingredient that the owner keeps secret. See if you can figure out what it is when you try one.

It\u2019s a popular alternative to ice cream and perfect as a summertime treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also have a selection of delicious meals, if you\u2019re looking for something a little more hearty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by omo cafe\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.625;width:1300px;height:auto\" title=\"omo cafe\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by omo cafe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>omo cafe<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Address<\/strong><\/td><td>499 Umeyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8057<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Google Map<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/B7Nk9qgr48C86c5N7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/B7Nk9qgr48C86c5N7<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-section-caption wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Cafe based on a novel by Henry David Thoreau<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walden Woods Kyoto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/walden_main.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Walden Woods Kyoto\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7821782178217822;width:1080px;height:auto\" title=\"Walden Woods Kyoto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Walden Woods Kyoto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Walden Woods Kyoto<\/strong>&nbsp;in the Gojo neighborhood is a complete contrast to the omo cafe. Rather than traditional Japanese dark wood, everything inside this Kyoto cafe is bright white and the furnishings are what you can definitely call minimalist. The cafe\u2019s concept is based on a novel, Walden, written by American author Henry David Thoreau, which documented his simple lifestyle in the forest by Walden Pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Walden Woods they specialize in single origin coffee that\u2019s roasted in-house and spicy chai as well as a selection of delicate Japanese sweets which are a perfect flavor match to the drinks. You won\u2019t struggle to find a table here as there are none. Seating is on a bank of steps around the walls, similar to an amphitheater, so the entire coffee drinking experience is certainly something different and unique that you\u2019ll remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/cafe_1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Walden Woods Kyoto\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2;width:1200px;height:auto\" title=\"Walden Woods Kyoto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Walden Woods Kyoto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>Photo by Walden Woods Kyoto<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Address<\/strong><\/td><td>508-1 Sakaecho, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, 600-8194<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Google Map<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Dt3RwuL99mp5fCPh6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Dt3RwuL99mp5fCPh6<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-section-caption wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A cafe where you can surround yourself in dry flowers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1er ETAGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/282568805_950414612320078_7627188428521091895_n.jpeg\" alt=\"Photo by 1er ETAGE\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" title=\"1er ETAGE\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by 1er ETAGE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk into this Kyoto cafe and you\u2019ll completely forget you\u2019re in a city environment.

If you need a refreshing drink, we recommend 1er Etage\u2019s lemonade. It\u2019s fresh and zingy and perfect when the weather is warm.

The name itself also has a double meaing, as \u201ckaeru\u201d (\u304b\u3048\u308b) can mean both \u201cfrogs\u201d and \u201creturn home\u201d in the Japanese language. KAEru coffee aims to create an at-home atmosphere where guests can relax in an at-home atmosphere while enjoying delicious coffee and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the frogs may be fun, at this cafe they take their coffee very seriously. They roast their beans in-house and have an authentic, hand-operated Italian espresso machine. Coffee really doesn\u2019t get any better than when it\u2019s made with one of these!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At KAEru coffee, as well as Japanese sweets, they offer cakes you\u2019ll probably be familiar with.
