Sunday Café Expedition V

Chocolate cake 500¥
Mango juice 500 ¥

Café Müller inside the Goethe-Institute. This German-Japan mixture felt actually almost too "Finnish" to call it a great new experience (unlike some of the other expeditions have been). The outdoor deck was nice with the garden, but the mosquitos were in aggressive mood. Over all this place was okay and the staff was very friendly, but a bit too ordinary. The furniture, tableware and architecture reminds a lot of cafés in Finnish museums, libraries ect, so only the Japanese customars and staff was an interesting twist. The big painting on the back was also good.

Sunday Café Expedition I

"Sunday Café Expedition" is a thing we came up with some friends last week. Basically the idea is to find cool cafés here in Kyoto, places we have or haven't been before but places we want to try.

For this first time we ended up in pretty minimalistic Coa Café. The whole space is one long "house form" tube with Scandinavian vibe and colour palette - using white, black and warm wood.

I'm actually pretty exited about these expeditions even though I don't really drink or like coffee. Luckily there are also other stuff to have and I never say no to a good cake.

Lets see where we go next.
