Time for another fantastic Kyoto coffee shop!
I introduce to you Kamogawa Café, a coffeehouse bookended by
Kyoto Imperial Palace and the Kamo River.
If you want to get off the beaten path, Kamogawa is where you go. After winding through roads and a park, past
a pre-school and many-a house, we bumped into it. Oh look, our destination.
Kamogawa is simple. They
serve lunch sets, but as far as I could tell, they focused on their brew. I.e., few espresso drinks. I had no beef with this; their coffee was
delicious. It had a truly full body, and
didn’t leave any room for disappointment.
The Loft! |
My favorite thing about Kamogawa, however, was not their coffee. It was their set up. The ambiance was fantastic. Their shop includes a big open area in front, with large color tiled windows. But they also had a nook in the back and a loft! Genius. We give this shop an A in warmth and coze. It was so comfortable that we both fell asleep! I guess we felt at home.
Kamogawa was perfect for a break in our day. We left refreshed from rest and great coffee, and would definitely go back.
