Cafe Olive KITANO

One visitor said they were shown the traditional way to drink matcha after ordering it. At Cafe Olive KITANO, you can choose a matcha set with sweets or a matcha latte: the set suits those who would like to enjoy the traditional serving, while the latte offers a more casual option. The menu also lists matcha with yokan and other Japanese sweets. There is pleasure in choosing how to put together an order, whether you are after a traditional bowl of matcha or a relaxed break with something sweet.

For a sweet treat, apple cake with coffee is a memorable pairing. Several people who tried the combination praised the cake. The menu also lists an apple cake set with a choice of tea, making it an option for tea drinkers as well as those who prefer the classic coffee pairing. For a light savoury bite, there is cinnamon toast, cheese toast and the Nagomi hot sandwich. Visitors have reported ordering both cinnamon-sugar toast and cheese toast; paired with coffee or tea, they make a simple way to take the edge off your hunger.

Visitors’ accounts also describe an interior reminiscent of an old Japanese house, where you can take a quiet break or enjoy a conversation. Some have mentioned seeing a cat or an axolotl. After a walk around the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine area, this is a café to keep in mind when you would like to settle in with a drink and cake.
