What a charming café to enjoy a perfect fluffy pancake and a cold matcha latte! The three women who run the place are friendly and provide great service. It opens early which is convenient if you want to visit the shrine very early and have breakfast just after.

After visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha, my husband and I stumbled upon this quaint cafe and we decided to have breakfast there. ???? The mini-sandwiches and coffee were great. The women who ran the cafe were so nice, friendly and affable. Thank You so much for the hospitality that day.

This cafe is adorable and run by the sweetest women. The pancakes are a must and the green tea float was amazing. We were seated immediately even though it was very busy for Children's Day.

We had a Sandwich, and a pancake and it was delicious. The Matcha Latte was great and wonderful. Great black coffee also. Highly recommend if visiting the area

Toast with butter we ordered was just right and filled the spot. The iced coffee is good also. Services are excellent with English menu. Cash only, so be prepared! Decorations are interested with currencies from different countries on the wall!

Cute little place for a pick me up. We had their little pancake and cheese toastie. They were both delightful - so delicate, buttery, and soft. Service was no nonsense and fast, but friendly enough. Skip the coffee - clearly isn't their forte - but eclectic and friendly nature of this Lil cafe deserves merit.

Wonderful Café Experience at "Cafe goo"! The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The drip coffee is fantastic—rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. But the real star is the Matcha cake; it’s absolutely delicious and not to be missed! I enjoyed my first round of drip coffee and Matcha cake so much that I immediately ordered the same combo again. Highly recommend this place!
