The rum raisin coffee was just delicious! Probably, someone else makes it, but it's my first drinking the rum rasin coffee. The cheese and ham bread and cheesecake, all scored high. Try it. I only write when it's inspiring food.

Good cafe to relax during your visit. This is the only chain coffee shop around. Limited seating.

Johan Björefeldt

Nice place to stop for coffee or a snack after the Toshogu Shrine. Good air conditioning, nice pork cutlet sandwich, all right coffee. There are plenty of seats, but we came at a crowded time and still had to wait a minute for a table to open up.

Small coffee shop in a Museum. Great coffee with a variety of sandwiches.

Delicious toasted sandwich in this self-service cafe. We came at 1pm on a Wednesday and it was quite empty.

Good place to rest up but one very expensive place to rest up. Coffee goes up to 700-800yen. Their lemonade soda is like 900yen…. With barely liquid in it because there was a lot of ice. But again, the place is pretty nice to rest up. Just be wary of the high price. Apple pie was good though. As well as the ice cream.

Great little coffee place after wandering around world heritage site for a few hours and needed a break before heading into the museum. Pizza toast set 1270 was very tasty, fresh and hot and just what I needed. Small and busy on Saturday but good table service.
