Kawama Cafe — Restaurant in Kyoto

What a great little cafe! Really good food, well priced, friendly staff.

I had a hot dog or version of it. It was the best I've had in a long time. Not one bit of bad meat/gristle in the dog. The tomato relish was fresh as can be, I'd assume made in-house. The wholemeal roll was fresh, soft with a crispy crust.

My wife had the sushi style breakfast sandwich thingy. It was also great (I tried it). With egg, salad, rice, and beef.

I'm not a matcha expert, my wife got the hot matcha, she said it was really good for the price (maycha seems to vary wildy due to brand/qaulity) and my sip was good.

The young ladies were really friendly and helpful.

The venue must be new or near new, the seating was very clean, so was the entire restaurant. A tranquil view out onto the river makes it a really nice way to spend a meal.

Another family at their table complimented a few other food and drink options, so I think it is safe to say you should visit!

Is it weird to comment on a bathroom? The bathroom was one of the nicest, cleanest...

We came just 5 minutes after opening time and it was already quite full with a queue. Thankfully we had a reservation but oddly enough we weren’t assigned a specific table, so we just sat ourselves at a table that had a reservation card on it.

The rice burger is like an onigiri, just presented differently. Nothing special about it, taste was just normal.

The chai latte was served lukewarm and was rather weak.

Everything we got was packed into takeaway containers even though we were dining in. I guess they don’t have proper plates and cutlery.

Overall a fair enough place for breakfast if it’s conveniently close to where you’re staying, otherwise no need to go out of your way to try...

Highly overrated n over priced, portion is small I went there for breakfast, one rice burger n one sandwich were just about right for me as breakfast, taste is alright though, the rice burger is just a modern presentation of onigiri! You first need to queue up for the order b4 getting a seat n no free seating is allowed, in my opinion if u could sit on the only 2 window seats facing the river is worth the price, if u don't need a view, counter is also ok, others seating are too cramped n too close to other customers. 1 rice burger n one sandwich + coffee...
