HARIO CAFE Kyoto Store — Restaurant in Kyoto

Unwelcoming and overly commercial.

Came in at 4pm, but they wouldn’t let me plug in my laptop - apparently because they close at 5. Not sure if it’s stinginess, a no-laptop policy, or just disinterest in serving foreigners. I was also told to get up and order at the counter, even though I was sitting literally 50cm away, while the place was nearly empty. Felt needlessly rigid and a bit passive-aggressive, masked behind a smile. Coffee and sandwich was basic at best, and the cheap accessories for sale gives the place a tacky, commercial vibe. They didn’t seem to care about us much at all. I would not go...

Wondered down a beautiful lane and accidentally discovered this gem. It was a perfect haven on a hot day, we ordered Pour-Over coffees after choosing a local blend, and sat at the window seats overlooking the beautiful garden. The coffee was perfectly brewed and was served with a cookie. The store had only recently opened and they even gifted us small coffee shot glasses ♡ we left feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Seems like tourists aren't aware of this spot and hope it...

A beautiful cafe that we chanced upon while meandering. There is a small garden outside which is picturesque. The interiors are warm and cosy. The coffee was yummy and the presentation was beautiful. They sell hand crafted glass jewelry as well. The staff is super sweet. We couldn't get a garden seat when we entered so we sat down else where. As soon as garden facing seating opened up the staff specially came to tell us and helped us move ❤️ My only request is to add...
