Kyoto, Japan｜IMAYA Kyoto &COFFEE

Found this place by chance in search of a good coffee after my visit to the Nijo Castle. Small place with only few seats as is so often the case in Japan. Cozy atmosphere with lots of small things Italian. An Italian radio station adds to the special flair of the place. But what's most important, I had one of the best coffees ever in Japan and the pastry I had with it was delicious. The owner is very friendly and speaks a very good English and also Italian. A place not to be missed when you are in the area and want to enjoy a genuine Italian coffee.👍👍👍

Great coffee, unique place. Quick and friendly service even though the place was packed. This place is definitely a gem. I am so glad to find a proper coffee in the morning, especially since it's not common for Japanese hotels providing any kind of coffee in the room. They even kindly gave a free glass of orange juice (they said because it was earlier than 7 am?!) It was a nice gesture and honestly the OJ was very refreshing

This was the best coffee and breakfast I had in Japan, hands down. The owner was amazing and the place itself was incredible. Also very close walk to the imperial Palace in Kyoto. I genuinely haven't found a coffee place that was even on the same level of deliciousness.
