Ichikawaya Coffee

Ichikawa Coffee is a cafe in Higashiyama, Kyoto, serving coffee and sandwiches near Kugemuka, Fumikokushinja, and the Kyoto National Museum. The signature item is a sandwich made with seasonal fruit, and the shop roasts its beans in-house before brewing. The space occupies a converted 200-year-old pottery workshop. Waits run long enough that even around 10 a.m. the line takes about 30 minutes.
