Bread, Espresso and Arashiyama Garden

What is better than eating bread? Well, eating bread in a Japanese garden. Which is the concept of the following cafe. ‘Bread, Espresso and Arashiyama Garden’.

‘Bread, Espresso and Arashiyama Garden’ is a bakery and cafe located deep in Arashiyama area on a 5 minute walk from Randen Arashiyama Station and/or a 10 minute walk from Hankyu Arashiyama station.

It’s one of nine ‘Bread, Espresso’s branches and one of the most beautiful ones.

‘Bread, Espresso and Arashiyama Garden’ consists of a bakery/shop and a separate cafe/seating area with a large Japanese style garden in between. So you buy something at the cafe and then walk through the beautiful garden towards the cafe where you can enjoy your purchase.

The seating area is located in a large (古民家 kominka) Japanese style farm house, complete with tatami floors and ざいす (zaisu) which are legless chairs for sitting on the tatami.

There are also seats outside on the deck terrace. Great for when the weather is good.

Just look at that gorgeous lush green. Who doesn’t want to enjoy a bite with a view like that.

As all the other branches the cafe sells a variety of delicious breads and sweets. Here they also sell fruit and coffee flavored milk.

So if you want to enjoy lunch with a Japanese atmosphere, ‘Bread, Espresso and Arashiyama Garden’ is the place to be.
