This is the second store of the popular coffee stand [loose kyoto] on Kiyomizu-zaka run by brothers. The doughnuts served here are the yeast type, characterized by their soft and chewy texture. There is also a café space on the second floor, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee of your choice, such as a home-roasted blend, single origin, or latte, paired with a doughnut, while taking a break from coffee.
This custard donut costs 350 yen, with a slightly salty dough and custard filling that is not too sweet. Small and easy to eat size
The second store of the creme brulee doughnut specialty store [Brulee Kyoto] has three types of creme brulee doughnuts on standby, perfect for eating on the go. The dough for the base doughnut is made from 100% organically grown soy milk. The dough is made with a different blend of soymilk depending on the season and fried using a unique method so that it does not become greasy, resulting in a hearty yet light finish that is not heavy. The doughnuts are a delightful triumvirate of fluffy, crispy, and melty. Especially on summer days, the luxurious creme brulee doughnut ice cream (550 yen) topped with vanilla ice cream is the most popular item.
