Your Perfect Break In The Day

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.
