In the store, which is a renovated townhouse built more than 100 years ago, you can enjoy sweets such as Mont Blanc with an expiration date of 10 minutes and eat-in limited shortcake made in the back workshop. Also, I am happy that food such as spice curry and taco rice is substantial.

A book cafe in a renovated townhouse from the Meiji era. The store has more than 2,000 books in the store, which makes use of the goodness of the machiya townhouse without repairing it too much. In addition, chocolate mint fans from all over the country come to see the seasonal menu devised by the owner who loves chocolate mint. It's better to visit early as it's sold out.

A chocolate brand born from Kyoto to spread the good ingredients, techniques, and seasons of Japan to the world. The showcase inside the store is lined with beautiful chocolates that look like jewels. At the chocolate bar on the 2nd floor overlooking Sanjo Street, you can enjoy seasonal Hachette desserts and afternoon tea with desserts unique to chocolatiers.

A spaghetti and cake shop born in Kyoto that has been in business for over 40 years. You can enjoy delicious spaghetti without being pretentious, so it is always crowded with people who work in the neighborhood and shoppers at lunchtime. For dessert, it is standard to enjoy a large cake and plenty of coffee. One of the specialties is that you can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom from the windows on the 2nd floor in the spring.

Just hearing "a community cafe that supports the preservation and utilization of historical buildings" might make you feel a little nervous, but it's actually not. It is a convenient place to rest while walking around Nishijin. Take off your shoes, sit in the back room, and enjoy a cup of warm roasted tea.
