A Comforting Spot Filled With the Owner’s Gentle Spirit
This cafe is located in a corner of "Furukawacho Shopping Street", approximately a 4-minute walk from Higashiyama Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway, and close to tourist spots such as "Chion-in Temple" and "Maruyama Park". The café was opened in 2024 by the owner, who wanted to create "a peaceful place that feels like visiting an old friend". The owner's kindness is reflected in the menu, which focuses on organic, pesticide-free, and sugar-free options as much as possible. The ingredients are carefully selected from producers, with the highest quality, and events are regularly held in the gallery. The pottery used for drinks is hand-baked and ordered from a welfare organization.

Comfort Rooted in the Owner’s Personality
The shop is cozy and bathed in soft light from the skylight, making it a place for guests to mingle. Many customers become regulars, drawn in by the owner's personality and thoughtful way with words. Describing themself simply as “just an otaku”, the owner creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere through gentle conversation. Feel free to drop by the events in the "Gallery Space".

Coffee Crafted With a Careful Selection of Beans
The coffee, carefully developed by the owner to their own satisfaction, strikes a perfect balance of bitterness and umami, with little acidity. Special beans are used for cafe au lait, and you can enjoy the difference in aroma from the blend. The popular "Sake Lees Basque Cheesecake" goes perfectly with coffee.
