Kyoto, Japan｜Mahayana

Great siphon coffee, feels very local and the owner-barista is attentive as well as charming. He even gave me and my husband an origami crane and shirt. This is a smoking cafe, which is rare. If you like a cigarette with good coffee this is it.

Thank you to the sweetest man who showed us so much kindness and made the best coffee! It was an honor to visit this lovely coffee shop and watch him making coffee in such a unique way. Thank you, Sam and Christine

Bar table styled cafe served by the owner in the middle. Sits about 10 people. The owner is very friendly and talked to me using Google voice translater.
