If there’s a renowned café and coffee brand in Kyoto, it’s ‘Coyote.’ Their popularity shines through with ‘Coyote the Ordinary Shop,’ located conveniently near Kyoto Station, and ‘Coyote The Roots,’ a charming small shop nestled near Kiyomizu Gojo. On 25 March 2024 Coyote expanded with the opening of their 3rd and newest branch ‘Coyote Roastery’ instagram.com/coyote.kyoto . Coyote Roastery sits within a shouting distance from Keihan Line – Demachiyanagi Station (exit 5) in a renovated akiya along a crowded road.

The café features a glass façade spanning its full width, complete with sliding doors that can be fully opened, creating an inviting atmosphere for passersby. Inside you will find a modern contemporary interior that makes use of raw materials. The kitchen counter wall is painted in Coyote’s signature faded blue hue and the seating area consists of hard wood tables with a large chunk of rock for a foot and seats that consists of tree stump stool and a long split log bench.

Coyote proudly serves coffee from El Salvador, where they mainly purchase green beans directly from farms belonging to members of the ACOPACA Producers Association in Chalatenango Department, in the northwestern part of the country. For over a year, COYOTE’s buyers resided on the cooperative’s farms, actively aiding the growth of the local coffee industry. This period fostered a robust bond of trust formed through their membership among the producers. The coffee is unique and only available at Coyote.

The menu is short and simple and offers hand drip, americano, oat milk latte, cafe latte (660 yen), mocha or cold brew. There is also cocoa latte, tea, apple juice and even kids drink. Make sure to get a drink in one of Coyote’s beautiful special order made ceramic cups by “ Donoma Studio “, Donoma also offers ceramic workshops.

Coyote’s newest branch is a stylish cafe with friendly staff that is conveniently located near the station and serves absolutely delicious El Salvadorian coffee.
