eX cafe Kyoto Arashiyama

Very nice traditional Japanese Cafe with delicious food choices. The word “cafe” does not mean the same as in Europe. Traditional interior and staff in kimonos 👘.
Very nice.

Not a bad way to have some dessert after walking around Arashiyama. A bit on the pricier side for some of their options, but it's a very quiet and peaceful area to eat, away from the crowds.

Nice cafe with a few good tasting options for ice cream and mochi specifically. Atmosphere is good also, as it's tucked away from the major tourist streets of this area. The only negative surprise here was that this is cash only!! In a busy tourist area it was completely unexpected.

Creative idea on serving the tango 🍡, It’s a great experience for my parents

Ordered houjicha and matcha ice cream, both taste nice but my bias is on matcha 🥰

Love it here. I got my own quiet corner at the restaurant. The price kinder ex but u got to try to toast your own dango and dip it to the respective sauce.

Discovered this gem cafe purely by accident. A beautiful setting, tranquil and peaceful. The wall art is absolutely eye-catching. They offer various of Japanese sweets and desserts. We’ve ordered Swiss rolls and ice creams. The presentation was stunning like a piece of art work. A great place to spend a peaceful afternoon.

I was there on 16 May. When you stepped in, you will notice there are many tables side by side on the right side of the cafe. It can be quite noisy if you are seated there. Skip that!

If you prefer a quiet corner like me, request for a table on the left side of the cafe. I waited for about 15 mins. But I didn’t know the best has yet to come. I was given a private corner which is the first table on the left of the cafe. it is the best seat you can find in the whole cafe. Private and Secluded with drop glass window. All by yourself. That area can only seats 2 and your seats face out.

I enjoy the desserts there. The waitress who served me was so patient despite the crowd. She took time to explain and recommend the different types of dessert in the house. As it is Japanese dessert, everything seems to be of green tea. I love green tea so I think it was delicious and up to my standard. Beautiful plating too.

My experience was a good one because of the private corner and the good service. I can’t say the same if I am seated at that noisy corner with the tables side by side to each other.

The colorful painted wall at the entrance of this cafe just makes you so happy that you want to take endless photos.
