About this place
A rich, firm pudding with a cup of coffee alongside: it is an appealing pairing at Otafuku Coffee in Kyoto’s Shimogyo Ward. One diner described the pudding as rich and firm; another said it was baked, with syrup-like caramel. Tastes differ, but it is a tempting choice if you are after a sweet treat to savour slowly with your coffee.
The house’s signature blend is listed at ¥500. Diners have described it as deep yet mellow, with a satisfying strength. Those who prefer to choose by bean can opt for Ethiopian Mocha or Colombia Supremo, each ¥600; one diner who ordered the Ethiopian Mocha with pudding was pleased with the pairing.
For another sweet, pumpkin cake costs ¥300. One diner described it as mousse topped with whipped cream and sliced almonds. For a lighter bite, butter toast and jam toast are each ¥300, while cheese toast is ¥400.
Visitors have described the cafe as a place where smoking is allowed, so it may not suit those who are sensitive to smoke. Several posts also mention a notice prohibiting photography inside. It is best approached as a cafe for focusing on the coffee and pudding in front of you, rather than taking pictures.
