01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Located in Oharano in Kyoto's Nishikyo Ward, Cafe Crystal welcomes guests into a bright, airy room framed in timber, where daylight pours through generous windows. Mineral specimens are arranged right in front of the seating, creating a distinctive setting where visitors can leisurely inspect geological samples and curated knick-knacks as they sit.

The cafe is a popular stop for an afternoon break, particularly for its cake set paired with coffee. Guests can linger over freshly brewed coffee and a cake with a pleasantly chewy, springy crumb while gazing at the mineral displays on the tables. Lunch brings simple, comforting fare such as hayashi rice, a savory hashed beef stew that provides a satisfying meal.

Museum-style mineral cases and toys for children give the space a curious, engaging appeal while keeping the atmosphere quiet and unhurried. Cafe Crystal is open during daytime hours from Thursday through Sunday (10:00 to 16:00), and payment is cash only.
