[Kyoto | Sanjo] A retro Kyoto coffee shop founded in 1932, "Smart Coffee"

Smart Coffee is a very retro coffee shop, and having breakfast with a traditional coffee shop menu has become a staple when I go to Kyoto 😋 However, it's been getting a lot of tourists lately, so I recommend going early 🥺 (In the spring, I gave up after not getting in on the first round) In early January, it opens at 8am, but I arrived about 5 minutes before and was the first one there! It was a winter weekday in Kyoto, so I think it was okay to go right when it opened◎ By around 8:30, it was almost full, so if you want to make sure you go, I recommend going before it opens! The things I want to eat again and again are the traditional pancakes and egg sandwiches 🥹✨ The egg sandwiches with a hint of mustard are also exceptional...! I want to eat the bread while it's still fluffy♡😋 This time, I entered the store with a stroller, but since I was the first one there, they let me sit in a seat where I could put the stroller🙇♀️ They say they will put jam on the toast, but since my child is 4 years old, they served it separately when I asked. As always, they are very kind🥹🙏🏻 The last time I went during the cherry blossom season, I arrived 5 minutes before opening, so I gave up just in time to get in... When you go to Kyoto during the tourist season, I recommend going a little early and lining up🫡 Also, actually, I've never been there for lunch, so I'd like to go for lunch someday... I'll aim to go there on my next trip to Kyoto🥰 [From Smart Coffee's official website] Address: 537 Tenshoji-mae-cho, Teramachi-dori Sanjo-agaru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto (Located in Teramachi Shopping Street!)
