Davada Coffee & Records — Restaurant in Kyoto

I came here as a foreign tourist, staying down the street at a hotel. I was intrigued by a Japanese cafe that also sold records. The place was cool, small and filled with records. A little bar had equipment to make coffee drinks. I ordered a latte and asked the guy there if he had any records he recommended. I told him I enjoyed psychedelic rock. He recommended a Roy Harper album. I bought it and took my latte, which was really good. When I got home after my trip, I put the record on and it has become one of my favorite records. It's so good! And it reminds me of my great time I had in Kyoto. Thanks to the guy who recommended me this album and made my latte. I think maybe you...

A love letter from an Australian.

This store was perfection. I come from Melbourne, well known for coffee and my fiancé is a self declared coffee snob. We were blown away. Best coffee in Japan!! We went out of our way during our daily adventures around Kyoto to get a Davada latte, Made to perfection each time. Holds up to the best of Melbourne coffees.

To top off the amazing coffee, the selection and price of records was delightful. We spent around $50aud and purchased a T-shirt to top it off, we were that impressed.

Thank you Davada, you really left a lasting impact and we have already recommended you to our Australian...

Vinyl records are back baby!

This tiny eclectic coffee and tea shop just oozes cool factor. There’s a methodology and purposefulness to the barista’s actions that reminds me of mixology.

The shop is well appointed, with small seating, allowing the big drawcard, the wall and boxes of vinyl records, to shine!

We had tea, as it was later in the day, and the infusions were wonderful and warming (especially during the approaching cold evening).

Looking forward to...
