"Great vibe and lots of seating with wifi, but the lavender latte I got didn't really taste like lavender, just watery coffee flavor... Maybe it was filter coffee with milk, not espresso/latte?"

"Weirdly overrated blah. Seems to be a destination for Japanese tourists, but it's way over-priced and very blah."

"A big step above most Japanese bakeries. This one has legit, high quality sweets that are less "japanified," but still unique variations on classic themes. The creme croissant thing is crazy good!"

"For some reason, this Sarasa (a local Kyoto chain) has the best sweets! The apple walnut cake omigosh (when they have it)! I love the upstairs seating area, too."

"Really special location! Worth visiting to see how they revamped an old onsen, and then visit the nearby Funaoka Onsen! Food and coffee was a little pricey and just okay, though."

"Very very good! They do to-go, too. Lovingly handmade and not massively overpriced for the quality!"
