I used this cafe as a way to pass the time during a transfer from the Shinkansen to a limited express train. To be honest, I was in a mood where any cafe would do, but I happened to come across this one and it turned out to be a great find. It seems to be a chain, but I haven't seen it in the Kanto region where I live. So, I decided to order a Kyoto-style geisha-patterned cappuccino. The milk foam was very fluffy and smooth, and it tasted delicious. They also included a note on how to enjoy the drink, which helped me savor it until the last drop.

After leaving Nisi-san, the three of us stopped by Noto Masan in Miyagawa-cho, where Yosino-chan and I bought eel and sweetfish for dinner. We then took a taxi to Kyoto Station. We were planning to return home on the Shinkansen around 5 pm, but the schedule was still disrupted due to the heavy rain the day before. We wanted to have a leisurely time at Kyoto Station, so we looked around various shops, but they were all full with waiting lines. Just as we were wondering what to do, we spotted a cafe where there was no line. We peeked inside and found that all seats were taken. Just as we were about to give up, a foreign tourist family gestured to us that they were leaving, so we were able to secure a seat. Thank you! After placing our bags on the seat, I went to the counter to order. I ordered an iced cafe latte before the other two. When I returned to my seat, the other two came back a little later with the same drink. "Huh? When you come here, you have to order this," they showed me the Maiko Cappuccino that I had seen many times before. Oh no, I realized that this was the cafe that serves this cappuccino... It was already too late when I noticed (T_T) Well... since the two of them ordered it, I'll let it go this time (laughs). The cold iced cafe latte was creamy, easy to drink, and mild. The interior of the cafe was a bit narrow, with seats close together, but at least we were able to sit down and enjoy our drinks. Since the delay of each Shinkansen was different, as the departure time approached, I said "See you next month!" and left the cafe before the others. Thank you for the meal!

Morning 100th♡♡ Today I have a live performance in Osaka♡♡♡ Stopped by Kyoto on the way to visit the Kyocera Museum of Art≡≡ヽ( +´∀`)ノ But first, I had breakfast (๑•᎑•๑)♡♡ The restaurant opens at 7 am and even though it's only 7:30, it's almost full. More than half of the customers are foreigners (@_@) My goal was the Maiko-chan Cappuccino that I found on Instagram♡♡♡ - Basil Chicken & Tomato Sauce 550 yen - Maiko-chan Cappuccino 500 yen - Toast 140 yen - Set with drink (cappuccino) 440 yen The Basil Chicken & Tomato Sauce was delicious and slightly warm, with a refreshing taste from the basil sauce and tomatoes♡♡♡ The Maiko-chan Cappuccino was just as cute as I imagined it to be ( ♥︎ᴗ♥︎ )♡♡ Too cute to drink♡♡♡ There were two types, both adorable♡♡ When I ordered toast, they included another Maiko-chan Cappuccino in the breakfast price♡ The staff's service was excellentヾ(*´▽`*)ﾉ♡ They also accept QUICPay.

I visited Cafe Chao Presso Kyoto Miyakomichi for the first time in early February of the 5th year of Reiwa. I had a cappuccino (500 yen including tax) there. The recommended way to drink cappuccino is to add sugar and mix it well. The reason is that the foam, which is one of the delicious parts of cappuccino, will separate over time. By mixing it each time you take a sip, the foam and milk will stay connected until the last drop, allowing you to enjoy it deliciously.

There are many fun shops on Miyakomichi near Kyoto Station Kintetsu. I have a lot of memories from my youth spent along the Kintetsu line, so I feel a special connection here. It was a weekday afternoon, but almost full due to the year-end season. Espresso double for 400 yen and butter cake with raspberry and strawberry for 220 yen. The espresso made by the refreshing staff had just the right amount of richness and was delicious. For a brief moment, I felt like I was in Italy. The espresso had a shelf life of about 1 minute, so I quickly drank it and enjoyed the taste, and I was impressed by how well it suited me. The cake was small, but had a natural flavor and a fluffy texture that felt very Kyoto-like to me. The only downside is that the store is a bit small, but if your stay is short, it's not a big deal. Thank you for the meal. I would like to come back again.

I tried the cappuccino with Maiko-san art, which was really cute and I couldn't stop looking at it. The taste was also delicious with a rich bitterness. There was a guide paper on how to enjoy the cappuccino, which showed the care of the shop. Please be careful as the number of seats is limited. There were various other menu items available. If you are looking for latte art other than Maiko-san cappuccino, it is recommended to ask if they can do latte art each time you order a latte!

I entered the cafe after seeing the poster for authentic espresso. The poster was effective and I ordered a cappuccino. It cost 500 yen and had a wonderful aroma with a fluffy volume. I should have ordered a larger size. While waiting for my car pick-up, I had a beer and thought it was nice. However, at Miyakomichi in Kyoto Station, there are no places where you can just order drinks and snacks, it seems like they only serve meals. Delicious!

Located in the Kintetsu Meitengai Miyakomichi at Kyoto Station, "Cafe Chao Presso Kyoto Miyakomichi Store" is a convenient cafe near the Shinkansen ticket gate. It is a great place to read a book or work on your laptop while waiting for the Shinkansen. This cafe offers authentic espresso and cappuccino made by skilled baristas. In early December, Kyoto is crowded with tourists coming to see the autumn leaves, and cafes around Kyoto Station were busy. However, I had some time before catching my Shinkansen, so I stopped by "Cafe Chao Presso" and tried their most popular cappuccino. The cappuccino was beautifully made by a skilled barista. Thank you for the delicious drink.

I had breakfast at an Italian cafe on the 1st floor of Kintetsu Kyoto Station's "Miyakomichi". I had the "Ciao Press Sandwich" with ham and melty cheese sandwiched between Kaiser rolls, along with drip coffee for 640 yen. I wanted regular drip coffee instead of Americano, so I was told it would take some time, but I still requested it. The warm Kaiser sandwich and well-balanced drip coffee were satisfying. It may not be anything special, but having a simple breakfast while traveling is a joy in itself. There are gradually more foreign tourists returning. Two blonde women are enjoying their morning coffee. Finally, I could feel a bit of the everyday life of a traveler. Thank you for the meal.

I visited "CAFFÈ CIAO PRESSO Kyoto Miyakomichi Store" at around 11:00 with one person. It is located at the Hachijo exit of Kyoto Station, in the Kintetsu Meitengai Miyakomichi. The operation is managed by Kintetsu Retailing Co., Ltd., and it is deployed in Kintetsu stations and related commercial facilities. It opened in 2008, and it is a place where you can enjoy authentic Italian espresso. At the Kyoto Miyakomichi store, there is a Kyoto-exclusive cappuccino called "Maiko-chan Cappuccino". Also, there was a limited-time cappuccino collaboration with the sightseeing limited express train "Aoi Aoi". The dedication to espresso is strong, and 6 out of 13 stores have been certified by the Italian Espresso Association as "stores where you can drink authentic espresso". The machine used is made by La Cimbali, a world-renowned brand that celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012, and this machine is also certified by the Italian Espresso Association. Of course, they use beans certified by the Italian Espresso Association. They use "Gran Bar" from Mirarco, founded in 1937 near Lake Como, a luxury resort area known for its villas owned by artists from Lombardy, Italy. The blend of 7 types of coffee beans includes a hint of cocoa and nuts, with a moderate berry acidity, followed by a lingering bitter chocolate-like aftertaste, making it a work of art in a cup. The prices are as follows: Espresso Single 290 yen/Double 390 yen, Cappuccino Regular 420 yen/Long 580 yen, Café Macchiato Single 390 yen/Double 490 yen, Latte Macchiato Regular 440 yen/Long 600 yen, Marocchino 470 yen, Café Americano 360 yen, Iced Café Latte 440 yen, Iced Espresso Lover's Café Latte 580 yen, Iced Cappuccino 470 yen, Café Shake Latte 470 yen, Café Siciliana 570 yen, Iced Café Americano 360 yen. I ordered the Maiko-chan Cappuccino for 420 yen. I visited for the Maiko-chan Cappuccino, but I felt the shop's strong dedication to espresso. If you visit the following 6 stores that have been certified as "stores where you can drink authentic espresso", you can enjoy a highly reproducible espresso: Uehommachi Station Store, Abeno Harukas Store, Yodoyabashi Store, Kyoto Miyakomichi Store, Nara Station Store, Nagoya Station Above-ground Store. Thank you for the meal. #Cafe #Kyoto Cafe #Kyoto Station Cafe #CAFE #Cafe #cafe #Kyoto CAFE #Kyoto Cafe #Kyoto cafe #Kyoto Station CAFE #Kyoto Station Cafe #Kyoto Station cafe #Gourmet #Kyoto Gourmet #Kyoto Station Gourmet #Espresso

Unfortunately, I wanted to try the Maiko-san Frappuccino and Sfogliatella, but they were either not available due to the time of day or were limited-time offerings. However, the cheesecake exceeded my expectations and was delicious. Even when paired with the Frappuccino, the total cost was around 800 yen, which I found reasonable for Kyoto. It may have been due to the time of day, so I would like to try going earlier next time. The Frappuccino was probably not the Maiko-san one, but rather one with a design inspired by a train called "Aoi Aoi."

I wandered aimlessly around Kyoto Station, feeling like I was about to collapse from thirst. I was thinking, "Is there a cafe nearby?" when I spotted one. I ordered a large Blood Orange Juice and quickly drank it all because I was so thirsty. The cafe was calm and relaxing, so it would be a good place to unwind. I left soon after to catch my train.

I had a morning set with butter (margarine) toast and an Americano. You have to spread the margarine yourself, and you can also choose jam. The cafe is located near the JR Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit and has a bright atmosphere where I could relax. I would rate this place between 3.0 and 3.5, as it provided a satisfactory experience.

The Kyoto store probably sells Maiko cappuccino, but I always end up ordering a latte macchiato. I can't order it anywhere else. In Kyoto, I only know this place and Okafé. However, I feel like I had an iced latte macchiato in Italy, but maybe I'm imagining things. In Japan, they only have hot ones.

This cafe in the restaurant street feels the most casual, like a Doutor. It's a small shop compared to other cafes, but miraculously empty, making it safe even during Corona. I ordered hot chocolate (with a different name), a hot sandwich, and hot milk. They didn't have hot milk on the menu, but they prepared it for me when I asked. The hot chocolate was thick and delicious. The pastries and sweets in the showcase also looked quite authentic and tasty.

Stayed at a city hotel and received a 50 yen discount coupon, so I decided to have breakfast at a café. This café is known for only offering cappuccino in the milk-based coffee category. True to their confidence, I was able to enjoy a delicious cappuccino. Thank you for the meal.

(⌒-⌒) Blog ⇒ 【Riding on the Flowing Clouds♪】From the end of August 2020... I was back in my hometown for a visit. It wasn't during the Bon festival or a vacation... I stayed for a long two weeks because a relative had passed away. In the midst of this pandemic, we held the wake and funeral. It was a difficult situation, but many people gathered. It may sound strange coming from me, but it was a wonderful ceremony. After that, I stayed in various hotels and took care of different procedures over the two weeks. During this time, I noticed and felt many things, such as the differences in COVID-19 measures between Tokyo and Kansai, as well as the variations in measures taken by different shops and hotels. Tokyo was excluded from the "Go To Travel" campaign, so I was like a castaway. Even after the full lifting of the state of emergency, I continued to voluntarily refrain from going out, so I was surprised by the differences in COVID-19 measures taken by different restaurants. Since I was trying to stay in hotels as cheaply as possible, I ended up staying in rooms without meals, which led me to eat out for every meal. Thanks to that, I noticed and felt many things. I would like to write about it in my blog someday. Today, I want to purely introduce one of the dining places I visited, which is "CAFFE CIAO PRESSO" in the Kintetsu Meitengai "Miyakomichi". It seems to be a cafe chain mainly located in Kansai. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary chain cafe, and inside, it's also an ordinary chain cafe (just kidding!). But here, they have a Kyoto-exclusive "Maiko-chan Cappuccino"! The cute Maiko-chan illustrations are irresistible, and you just have to order them. Moreover, there are two types of illustrations, both equally cute, so it's hard to choose (^^;). So, I recommend ordering both, but if you're alone, would you like a refill!? This "Maiko-chan Cappuccino" is only 330 yen per cup (excluding tax), which is quite reasonable. In Tokyo, it would probably cost around 600 yen, and in Jiyugaoka, it could easily be 850 yen. Oh, Tokyo is truly terrifying, isn't it? (What am I even talking about?) Considering that, I didn't have the impression that Kyoto was cheap in terms of prices. However, during the few days I stayed this time, the impression of high prices didn't stick. Despite being a city with a rich history and a world-renowned tourist destination, it seems surprisingly fair. If that's the case, I have a feeling that I'll be visiting Kyoto more and more in the future. ・Service: ♪♪♪♪♪♪ ・Food: ♪♪♪♪♪♪ ・Value for money: ♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪ ※If there are 10 ♪ in a row, it's a perfect score!

Located in "Miyako-michi" near JR Kyoto Station and Kintetsu Kyoto Station in Kyoto City, this café is convenient as it opens from early morning. It is a handy spot as various people come and go at Kyoto Station from early morning to late at night, including those taking the Shinkansen and highway buses. On a hot morning, I had a frozen cappuccino which was sweet but refreshing.

The time until the Shinkansen arrives can be tough during the cold season. I thought about sitting on a bench near the Hachijo exit close to Kintetsu, but that was just too much. It's empty, but still. So, I quickly headed to a cafe on Miyakomichi. There are power outlets too, which is great. I'll have a cafe latte. The cost is reasonable, which is the best part. Thank you for the meal.

I visited around 9 am on a weekend morning. About 80% of the seats are taken. I line up at the register to place my order. There are sandwiches displayed in the showcase. After about 10 minutes, I arrive at the register and place my order. I ordered a regular drip coffee for 297 yen (tax included) and a ham, cheese, and egg sandwich for 313 yen (tax included). I pay for my order and take a seat to wait. After about 10 minutes, my order is ready and I go to pick it up. The coffee is plentiful and has a mild American flavor. It's good for a morning pick-me-up. The hot sandwich has the ingredients as described in the name. The ingredients are standard, but the bread is crispy and flavorful. The burnt surface and aroma give the impression that it was cooked over an open flame. I'm not sure if it was actually toasted or not. I didn't check. Thank you for the meal.
