Takagi Coffee

Thick-cut buttered toast, a boiled egg and coffee: breakfast at Takagi Coffee has the unpretentious feel of a classic Japanese coffee shop. One diner who chose this set felt that the slightly bitter coffee suited the morning and brought out the sweetness of the bread. Another breakfast that left an impression paired thick-cut toast with scrambled eggs, sausage and potato salad. For a generous slice of toast, butter is the standard topping; strawberry jam and cinnamon sugar are also options. An additional charge applies for choosing 2 seasonings.

For a more filling breakfast, the menu also includes pancakes and hot dogs. One diner described the pancakes as not overly sweet, with an enjoyable aroma of maple. Sets come with a choice of drink, including coffee, tea or juice. Breakfast is served daily from 7 to 18. The restaurant is described as suitable for solo diners, making it a convenient stop before a day out in Kyoto.

Visitors have also ordered omurice and cheese omu curry for lunch. The omurice pairs softly set egg with demi-glace sauce, while the curry’s spiced heat is mellowed by cheese and egg. For dessert, some diners have chosen the pudding, which has a pleasantly firm texture and notes of rum and rich egg. One review says the sweetness of the accompanying chantilly cream brings the rum flavour together, making it tempting for anyone in the mood for something sweet with their coffee. Payment is cash only, according to the information provided.
