Book & Café Kotoba no Haoto

Kotobanohaoto is a book cafe in Kyoto that serves Japanese home-style meals and parfaits. Its signature item is a cat-shaped parfait, and guests sit on tatami and take in a Japanese garden along with the books. The lighting is light brown, quiet music plays, and books and cats are placed throughout the space, which suits a quiet stay. It is not a good fit for occasions that call for conversation.
