I had a wonderful time at "Cafe and Bar $-3" in the heart of Kyoto, Shijo Teramachi! I enjoyed a relaxing time on the spacious terrace seats. They offer a variety of pairing menus such as coffee with chocolate, and alcohol with chocolate. They also have a selection of carefully curated whiskies and wines from around the world for those who love alcohol. It was a luxurious space to enjoy delicious food and drinks. Thank you for the meal!

This time, I visited Cafe and Bar ＄-3, located about a 2-minute walk from exit 10 of Kawaramachi in Kyoto. The cafe is on the 8th floor of a building and a bit tricky to find, but the interior is very beautiful and stylish. I tried the Terrine Plate for 1,200 yen and a Cafe au Lait for 580 yen. The chocolate roll cake here seems to have won the top spot in Kyoto's online ordering, but I was drawn to the rich Terrine this time. The Terrine has a superb melt-in-your-mouth texture, rich flavor, and just the right amount of sweetness. It pairs well with a leisurely coffee. The terrace seating is also very stylish, but it might be too hot during the day at this time of year, so I would like to try it in the evening. It seems that there is also a light-up at night.

I went to a cafe that was located down from Shijo Teramachi today. In front of a building behind Fuji Daimaru, there was a sign for the cafe. It is called Cafe and Bar $-3, pronounced as "Esusan". It seems to be a cafe and bar in collaboration with the bean-to-bar chocolate and raw chocolate specialty store "COCO KYOTO". The interior of the cafe was stylish, and there was also a terrace seating area. I was guided to the terrace seating this time. The cafe and the company operating the Kyoto branch of the high-end yakiniku restaurant "Yakiniku Mafia" seem to be related. The terrace seating was spacious and had a lovely atmosphere. The cafe menu ranged from 500 yen to 1800 yen, with mainly sweets in the 1000 yen range. The sweets menu was designed to pair with coffee or alcohol, featuring collaborations with COCOKYOTO's chocolates. Non-alcoholic drinks ranged from 480 yen to 800 yen. I ordered the terrine plate and iced coffee this time. The original blend coffee (iced) came in a glass with the cafe's "$" logo, which was interesting. The terrine plate included ice cream, chocolate terrine, and seasonal fruit (orange), with the "$" symbol drawn in sugar on the plate. The combination of sherbet and cereal was innovative, and the smooth texture of the chocolate terrine was a sophisticated dessert. The cafe provided a relaxing atmosphere near Shijo Kawaramachi.

@s3_cafeandbar TM Shijo Teramachi Building 8F, 589 Sadayasu-mae-no-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto-fu ▶︎Roll Cake Plate with Coffee for ¥1755 All the sweets used in the dessert plate at this cafe are made without white sugar or additives! It's gluten-free ✨ I tried it and didn't feel unsatisfied at all. The chocolate cream was smooth and rich. The cafe latte was also delicious with a strong coffee flavor. It's hard to believe it's gluten-free, allowing you to enjoy a healthy and luxurious taste to the fullest while on a diet ☺️ They also offer a vegan option without whipped cream ✨ The interior of the cafe is chic and elegant, with a pleasant terrace where you can relax without worrying about other customers, especially if you have children with you ~ ♡ Another great cafe find in Kyoto!

I had a relaxing coffee time at the stylish cafe "Cafe and Bar $-3" (S-San) in Teramachi, Kyoto, just before returning to Tokyo from my Kyoto trip ☕️ It's a must-see cafe as it has recently opened ☕️ The terrace seats on the 8th floor of the building are recommended on sunny days, where you can enjoy the view of Kyoto while having a leisurely time before heading back to Tokyo ❤️ There are also seats inside the cafe, and the bar counter is also stylish. There are so many cute sweets and cafe menu items that it's hard to decide what to choose. I like the special plate with COCO KYOTO's chocolate roll cake. It seems like this is the only place where you can enjoy COCO Kyoto's sweets other than at COCO ☕️✨ The Roll Cake Plate is 1350 yen. The beautiful presentation on the black plate is very impressive, and the authentic matcha ice cream made with Uji matcha looks rich and delicious, also handmade by COCO KYOTO. The Flat White Ice is 580 yen. The rich and flavorful coffee ☕️ is very delicious, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of milk. It seems like you can also take it to go, so I'd like to visit again when I'm in the Kawaramachi area of Kyoto next time ^_^
