Cafe & Pantry MATSUNOSUKE — Restaurant in Kyoto

Found this cafe around the corner from the Airbnb I was staying at. There has been a couple times I've walked by and there is a line of 4-6 people waiting outside. Most of the clientele are Japanese locals. Relatively small cafe, if you are going to be more than a group of 4 I would not recommend coming here. We came as a group of 6 and had to squish together with 2 small tables pushed together.

*Please note that this place requires every person to order 1 item. We originally planned to just order a couple things to share and planned to go to a second location for different food and ended up having to order more. I wish instead of having you order an x amount of items, they would have a minimum spending amount instead. Because of this we were too full and not able to go to another place we had wanted to try.

The food was great. I would recommend their apple pies. They make a variety of pies and pastries in house. The apple pie we went with was their maple apple pie and was really good. Their pies surprisingly also comes with a scoop of ice cream on the side as well. We ordered 3 breakfast combos which comes with a drink, quiche, pie and 3 additional drinks. We ordered a total of 9 items and spent 4060 yen, almost 40 USD for 6 people is...

This is a trendy American style breakfast and baked goods cafe. We went early as we heard there would be lines and were part of the five or six other early bird groups who arrived a little before the 9am opening. By the time we finished around half an hour later the line was longer but still manageable.

The cafe is mostly famous for their pancakes which are quite fluffy and light in flavor. We got one sweet (banana and cream) and one salty (egg and sausage), both presented with syrup on the side. The pancakes were quite good but may not justify a long wait if you happen to arrive later. We also ordered a scone which came with cream and jam and this was delicious, perfectly crumbly and with just the right degree of sweetness.

Also on display are a variety of American style pies including four or five variations of apple pie, and New York cheesecake and a delicious looking banana cream pie. And a delicious looking home style biscuit which we will definitely be...

It's a small store, I get it but... 2 couples come in at once. The Japanese pair gets serviced ASAP, while we had to wait 15mins to get our order taken. But within those 15 mins... At 5mins, another 2 couples come in and by 15mins, the other two gets their order taken before us.

Their menu is super limited. For breakfast, it's only Scone, Pie and Pancake for instore dining. Their drinks are expensive, 420 (coffee) to 620 (float)

If you takeout, you'll get discount. If I knew, I would have just done that.

When we did get our food, it was 2/5. When we did get out food (another 15mins after), the server gave us our table order paper. This felt really rude as she didn't do this to anyone else 😡

I'm giving a 1 for the experience. It was bad. The table beside us came in after 20mins usus a are still waiting for someone to take their order after 25mins. Perhaps waiting an...
