Cafe de Corazon

People who come for the toast set have remarked on the soft bread and its flavourful jam. The menu lets you choose toast with butter or jam, or combinations of butter and jam or butter and honey. For breakfast or a light lunch, you could keep it simple with a set that includes coffee, or choose the topping you prefer.

At Cafe de Corazon, the coffee offers another way to shape a meal or a sweet treat. One visitor wrote about choosing Guatemala as the coffee of the day and comparing it with a Corazon blend ordered separately. Another enjoyed a dark roast served in a large mug alongside a seasonal cake. Whether you’re exploring the coffee options or taking your time over a cup and something sweet, coffee is central to the experience here.

For a more substantial meal, options include a sandwich with warm vegetables and boiled egg, and a hot sandwich with Bolognese and broccoli. Both are available as sets with soup. One diner, who chose a different sandwich filled with potato, corned beef and sauerkraut, praised the toasted bread and the seasoning of the filling, and also enjoyed a chilled corn soup with coffee oil. That particular sandwich is not one of the two listed above, but the account gives a sense of a lunch that can extend from sandwich and soup to coffee afterwards.

For something sweet, there’s a Saturday-only French toast set served with homemade vanilla ice cream, as well as a set with seasonal cake and the coffee of the day. One diner described the French toast as especially memorable compared with others they had tried, making it a tempting weekend treat. The menu also lists a fig tart with coffee, cranberry nougat glacé and a seasonal parfait, so there are options whether coffee or dessert is the main attraction.

The cafe, in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto, offers dine-in service and takeaway coffee beans, baked goods and cakes. Payment is by cash only, so it’s worth coming prepared.
