Is there anything better than a good free one cup of coffee? This coffee is an only college students cafe and being just across the Kyoto University mostly Kyoto University students hang out there, usually chatting, studying or just relaxing after a busy day. If you are a university student and downloaded the cafe's app (a dead bulk in my phone but gets me free coffee) you can get one cup of free drip coffee (not sure if only one in a day, or one in one visit). It is a good coffee, though even the strong option is mild for me. There are also some sweet options like cakes and pancake, though the options are not wide. The staff is friendly. The interior is minimalistically designed, with a lot wood it gives a warm feeling. International exchange student friendly.
