Inoda Coffee Honten

We were staying around the corner at Matsui Bekkan. Although the hotel offered free filter coffee in the lobby for guests after breakfast, we wanted something substantive. INODA doesn't serve espressos but they have their own blends of filter coffee. A wide array of pastries, breakfast choice of eggs and breads were served by wait staff in a side breakfast room. We ordered scrambled and toast with coffee. I suppose you need to try a few blends till your preferred choice would match. INODA has a history in Kyoto. It is a recognised brand and they are very proud of their background.

An old-timey cafe with a beautiful interior. The filtered coffee (no espresso) is very good, but the roasts are darker than what is fashionable these days. It's not expensive for Kyoto. Decent sandos.
