Blue Bottle Coffee Kyoto Rokkaku

Blue Bottle Coffee launched a new cafe in Kyoto, called Blue Bottle Coffee Rokkaku which is located on a 10 minute walk from Karasuma station.

This branch is located in a 100 year old machiya. The interior and exterior of Blue Bottle Rokkaku is different from their other Kyoto branch . While the interior here and there still has the weathered and bare look, the tone of the interior is much darker.

The café works together with a bicycle shop next door and that partnership can be seen on the outside where a bicycle hangs on the exterior of the café.

At first glance this Blue Bottle branch might seem to have only a take out counter, but behind the counter are stairs that lead to the 2nd floor’s sitting area.

Up the stairs is a large sitting area. If you pass those seats in the back you will find a passage with more seats that lead to the back of the cafe. In the back are a few tables with a little more privacy.
