Rokuyosha is my favourite coffee shop in Kyoto. they serve an excellent coffee and donut, and got a great “Good Old Days” Kissa-ten vibe.
We came in, ordered promptly, and waited for a while for our food. We figured it was busy and taking some time, but saw pretty quickly about ten other customers (all locals) get their food before us, all of whom had come in after us. When asking if our food was coming (after 45 min), the servers just looked confused and so we left. We were not being served. They won't kick you out and it'll seem as though you will be served but we were ignored. Wouldn't recommend.
The coffee is fairly priced and the staff is nice. I would give the shoutout to the atmosphere, however. It was absolutely lovely and a great place to be whilst it rained outside
This is a cool 70s vibe coffee and bar (from 5pm) No latte or cappuccino here, but instead you can have a milk (heated in a pan) coffee and simple and delicious homemade doughnuts accompanied by classical music (Mozart at time of writing)
They also sell reasonably priced coffee beans split
into grade of roast intensity.
One for the classic coffee lover.

Cash only.
Friendly service.
Coffee is ok.
Very limited food options, mostly just a place for coffee.

! Be aware: it’s a smoking place!
Old fashioned Japanese “kissaten” coffee shop. In the midday there were a lot of customers, most of them smoking, so you don’t miss smoke in the air. But it just adds some nostalgic feeling to the place: in our days you hardly can find such a smoker’s place. The interior has wooden walls and ceiling, soft comfortable chairs, so if you are ok with smoking, you want to spend some time with a book or a newspaper here.
As the coffee shop was full of customers, I was seen to the table where another customer was already sitting, to sit with him together at one table - it’s pretty uncommon custom in Japan, but I believe it was not rare in old days, so I think it is cute that you can experience this attitude here. Coffee was served in a beautiful cup and it was tasty.

The coffee is best for cold brews. It is very good. I wish I could have breakfast here, the toast looked amazing (on other tables). The place is old school Japanese, even with the smoking customers. The old school did not impact my star rating but slightly did the smoke. Try the coffee and run!
