Murmur Coffee Kyoto is a small cafe selling coffee and toast on an alley beside a stream next to the Kamo River. It serves drip coffee and toast, and roasting continues in the shop so the smell of roasting beans spreads into the alley. Tables are full even at 10 a.m., and takeout can take 30 minutes, so customers wait outside the store. Indoor seating is limited, so window or outdoor seats require arriving early.
