Blue Books Cafe Kyoto is on the first floor of a hotel near Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station, serving hamburgers, sandwiches and drinks. The space was created by Blue Note Japan, with books and jazz, and live music on Friday nights. Coffee and tea with lunch can be refilled hot or cold until 14:00, and there are terrace, sofa and counter seats. The pasta portions are small, so they may not be enough for people with a large appetite.
