About a month ago, we went to Kyoto, Japan’s former capital and a city full of great history. And really unique coffee shops. It’s telling when your travel research includes finding the most interesting specialty coffee shops. It helps you obtain a more local feel of a city. We hate being too tour oriented.
We came across Cafe Sarasa Nishijin, an indoor onsen turned coffee shop. And the shop is unparalleled when it comes to uniqueness. It even still had tiled walls, but had a comfortable feel. We loved it. The shop was spacious – which, trust me, is hard to come by in Japan – but had ideal nooks and crannies to relax in. We chose a great sofa spot with a coffee table. Ah, just like home.
Their milk chai was to
die for. I feel no more words can
appropriately express how good that cup of tea was. Mmhmm.
And they had great FOOD.
This is a feature we’ve lost in many American coffee shops – we’ve
settled on pastries. But when the best atmosphere
to do homework, relax, read, write, etc is the coffee shop – and one could camp
out for hours on end - I think meals are a must. You can see my husband’s and my priorities
when it comes to our food choices. He
went for a salad with a delicious bun pizza and chunky fries, while I opted for
their decadent raspberry cheesecake.
Both hit the spot. And I swear, I
stole no fries … . . . .
