I’m very excited to talk about this next coffee house. It was by far my favorite in Kyoto. I probably had a bias towards it when I first
researched Kyoto coffee shops, because its name was absurd.
And no, that’s not a typo.
And yes, the exclamation point is part of the name.
We spent part of a Sunday afternoon here, and it didn’t take long to realize that this shop had it all. Along with its fantastic name, there were bookshelves upon bookshelves (hence, bibliotec). And what’s better than coffee? Coffee with a book. Ah, glorious.
Cafe BH! also had great ambiance. A loft, cozy chairs, warm colors, friendly staff. And on top it all, an enormous, hefty table. Like the one you’d find in the dining room of a manor.
And the most important part – the food and the coffee. Both were fan freaking tastic. They had a complete food menu with meals, pastries, salads, you name it. There was no lacking in their cuisine or their drinks. They had all sorts of espresso drinks and teas. Goodness gracious, I fell in love. I went with their basic mocha and it was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet and not too bitter. I truly enjoyed my heaven in a cup as Curt enjoyed his black black black coffee. Nothing lacking there either.
As one of my favorite coffee shops of all time, this one will stick in my memory. After all, I am in love with it.
