Tribute Coffee

In a discreet building in Kyoto, they offered a cozy and hidden gem space where attention to detail shines through both in its atmosphere and offerings. I had their black coffee paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—simple, yet thoughtfully served. Their coffee had a clean, medium-dark roasted body with a nice bitterness, making it both refreshing and grounding. The ceramic cup felt warm in the hand and added a quiet elegance to the experience. Their ice cream, served in a glass bowl with a couple of wafers, was silky and not overly sweet. It created a lovely contrast to the bitterness of the coffee. This pairing was a subtle delight—unfussy but satisfying

As you enter the room the smell of good coffe hits you. The place is not big about 20+ people with good quiet music. You get a cozy feeling when you sit down. The coffe itself is excellent. Payment is only cash.

Lovely and quiet!! café. Perfect to dos Connect form the busy touristy nearby market. The Batista knows whats he’s doing. Quality coffee, and the espresso might be the best one I’ve had in Japan these last weeks so far. Recommend!!

Such a cozy place! Stumbled upon this coffee shop (thank God for their huge sign outside the building) while walking to Gyukatsu Motomura. Vibes was so homey and they serve good coffee. Their pudding is more of a coffee jelly but is really good and creamy. My husband got the banana smoothie and he liked it as well. Brought home a bag of beans. Worth the visit to just chill. Cash only

Cute cafe hidden right in the center of a very busy part of Kyoto. The ice cream they offer here is superb! Tastes even better after escaping the humidity. The scones are also incredible, I got the scone and gelato set I think it’s a great deal!

Great place for a coffee and rest. The vibe is chilled, dimly lit, walnut furniture, the smell of smokey coffee beans and quiet jazz. It's different from a western coffee place, here you sit and enjoy - things aren't going to be quick. They have an English menu and it's cash only!

Almost don't want to leave a review here so the place won't get too busy in the future. It's a quaint shop that is pretty relaxed and quiet most of the time. The shop owner has the occasional assistant but will be making your hand drip coffee by himself. He's very meticulous about the process and very careful when serving you your food. I would definitely recommend trying the sweets on the menu (availability dependent on whether it's weekend or weekday) because those have always been really delicious. My favourite coffee spot in Kyoto!

Amazing coffee.. for those lucky enough to not be lactose intolerant, you must try the coffee with milk. Very creamy and rich with a nutty flavour Also, this is a sit down cafe that takes cash only.
