Five stars across the board. Best breakfast - cafe place in Kyoto hands down. Their breakfast galettes were amazing (I got the ham and egg one and my wife got the salad and salmon one, they both were phenomenal) and their crepes melt in your mouth. So so good. Not to mention, their coffee is really good also. Wish we would have found this place earlier instead of seeing it on our last day in Kyoto. Will be back tho!

Super chill cafe next to Shijo Station. Loved the atmosphere. The food was great, the galette and crepe perfectly dosed in chewyness and taste, the only thing that bothered me was the low quality sausage ont the galette and the bland vanilla ice cream on the crepe, but it is very much a detail. The prices are fair and the food arrived fast. Would definitely recommend, foreigner friendly.

This little cafe is very relaxed and a lovely place to be! We really enjoyed the gallette and crepe variety and came back to eat here again :-) Check it out on weekends and get top value lunch menu (gallette + crepe + drink) All in all, we loved the atmosphere, friendly staff and great food quality. :-)
