I visited the excavation x coffee stand [Sumire Coffee] that opened near Kyoto Station!

July 12, 2025 open

Sumire Coffee (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) opened in an area where many people come and go, an eight-minute walk from Kyoto Station. The café is operated by a company that excavates and researches archaeological sites, and the store has a unique display of artifacts excavated during renovation work. The interior, which was built over 100 years ago, was dismantled and renovated by the company itself.

［The name "Sumire Coffee" was borrowed from "Sumire Shoten," a store that the owner's grandmother used to run in Nara Prefecture. The owner's soft and thoughtful service is comfortable, and the relaxing atmosphere makes you want to stay longer.

Ice-brewed coffee 600 yen and cookies 150 yen. Cookies are available in plain and cocoa and go great with coffee.

Handmade cookies with motifs of honeycomb and clay figures are available in a variety of unique designs and are so cute that you will want to take pictures of them. Enjoy them with coffee or café au lait. The shop also offers a variety of other items for mornings and light meals, such as sandwiches and scones made with vegetables from a nearby green grocer. Spend a relaxing time at this nostalgic yet new coffee stand near Kyoto Station.

Note that photography is prohibited in some parts of the restaurant, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of being in a museum.
