TAKAGI Coffee, the local coffee roaster, serves 6 kinds of breakfast choices. What I ordered includes buttered toast, scrambled eggs, and potato salad. The black coffee is quiet strong, but became mild with fresh milk. After having a large plate of food, no more rooms for the famous handmade dessert. Anyway, love the traditional atmosphere of 喫茶店!

Classy little Cafe, good quality coffee, I enjoy a good coffee black and they did not disappoint. Free coffee with breakfast, price was very good. Hello from Nanaimo Canada!

Fab little retro US-Japan fusion coffee shop with giant toast, salads and piping hot strong coffee ☕
Great they're open early, often crowded, friendly staff, English menu but only 20+ from afternoons as they allowing smoking inside the shop.
Easy to order without meat, but vegan options would only be salad and juice as pancakes and toast made/served with egg and milk.

They serve simple western-style breakfast sets in the morning. Cozy "old world" atmosphere. Very polite staff. Recommended.

Lovely place, nice toast with a perfect portion of butter. Not too sweet or salty. Toast texture is wonderful. Coffee is good. Will visit again.

Does this place have tobacco stained walls?

Yes.

Does this place have people smoking in it?

Yes.

Does this place make killer French toast and have immaculate vibes?

Absolutely yes.

I first came here on my first visit to Kyoto in 2015, it left such an impression on us, we make a point to come back each time we visit.

It still serves great French toast and has kind staff who are patient with gaijins.

Thank you Takagi Coffee.

I absolutely love this place. A classic Japanese kissaten serving good coffee, thick cut toast, and scrambled eggs with proper tomato sauce.

It's old and a bit grimy and smells like smoke, and none of that matters because it's as real as it gets, and there are grannies and mums and old gentlemen who you know have been coming here for decades.

It has atmosphere coming out the wazoo and the coffee is world class. It's just wonderful.

Had breakfast here as this place was located near my hotel and had good reviews, can’t really go wrong with some scrambled eggs and toast.
One thing to mention is that you can smoke inside the restaurant, but not in the mornings. Nevertheless all the walls are yellow from the smoke but it didn’t smell due the ventilation system. Can recommend if you want some quick breakfast for cheap (I paid 900¥ for meal including drink).
