01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Start the day with a breakfast plate of toast, a boiled egg, and salad or ham. Visitors describe golden toast, an egg boiled just right, and a colourful serving of salad. Some also mention toast spread generously with butter and accompaniments that include fruit. It is a satisfying combination when you want a proper breakfast before heading out. Coffee is available with the morning set, and some visitors have praised its rich aroma and clean finish.

For something sweet, choose a homemade cake set with coffee or tea, such as cheesecake or apple cake. The summer-only Natsukandō, listed as a seasonal item, is a grapefruit jelly. One visitor enjoyed a matcha chiffon cake with whipped cream and orange, alongside hot tea. With a choice of cakes and pairings, it suits a leisurely pause after breakfast or a visit centred on something sweet.

Japanese sweets with matcha are another distinctive way to enjoy the café. Shitatari, a sweet associated with the Kikusui Hoko float of the Gion Festival, appears on the set menu. One visitor described its texture as similar to mizuyōkan, a chilled sweet made by setting red bean paste with agar. Zenzai is also listed on its own or in a set with coffee or tea. Whether you fancy a light sweet with a drink or a breakfast of toast, this café offers options to suit the moment.
