Cafe Machiko — Restaurant in Kyoto

⚠️I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CHECK BEFORE PLANNING TO COME⚠️ ⚠️🚫HOURS OF BUSINESS CHANGE SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY🚫⚠️

Went to check out this café. WoW!! It's such a lovely, warm, cosy place. Loaded with anime books and lovely things. Many aspects of this café were so nice. The seats are classy old school designs and sofas. The decor is a cool, rustic style. The welcome was friendly and warm (not like many other places here that are cold, unwelcoming, and even bordering on rude). The service was quick and professional. The coffee was/is excellent and the food was/is delicious. Takuya, the owner, is a gentleman and very friendly. They even made a special burger for my friend who has wheat allergies. So they kindly made my friend a burger without bread. I highly recommended this place. Still...

Really eclectic and interesting place with a cool vibe. There are travel photos lining the walls and a great selection of manga spread through the shop. The seats are comfortable and inviting. It’s a lot larger cafe space than I expected. The only downside is that they have a smoking section, which is near the door. When I walked in a person was smoking quite heavily and I was worried, but the smoking section is very separate from the non smoking section, so I could relax. The food was fantastic and very reasonable. The service was quick...

Stumbled upon this place randomly while walking between sites, and i was so glad we went up the stairs! Fantastic and comfy cafe atmosphere which is a unusual compared to other japanese cafes i've been to, which i found a little too clinical. I would definitely recommend the pancakes, they were really great! I was so impressed...
