SCHOOL BUS COFFEE STOP KYOTO

We are back in Kyoto! This time we are visiting one of the most popular café chains in Kansai, ‘School Bus Coffee Stop’. The Kyoto edition.

Opened in November 2018, School Bus Coffee Stop Kyoto is the second cafe of the School Bus renovation company. Their first shop School Bus Coffee Stop Kitahama is STILL a huge success due to it’s stylish interior and the extremely popular baristas ( marihooo22 and michelle_coffeestop ) whose latte art talents have garnered hundreds of fans from allover Japan and even the world. They are very friendly as well, always willing to take a photo together with their fans.

Contrasting with the well-lit Kitahama cafe, the Kyoto version has a grey exterior with a cozier interior. This is mostly due to the paned windows compared to the full-glass panel facade in Kitahama. Inside, the café is divided into two sections by a glass barrier, for sound damping as their office is in the back. In the back of the cafe is a massive concrete counter, which seems to be the trend nowadays, where you can make your order. Schoolbus keychains are here as some people seem to have thought those were souvenirs to go.

Spread throughout the café are a couple of plants and the School Bus iconic table-lamps have also found a place on the counter alongside the windows similar to Kitahama. While Kyoto’s branch also has a bookshelf, it’s not as prominent and large like the one in Kitahama.

School Bus Coffee Stop Kyoto is a lovely cafe with a stylish and cozy interior that serves delicious coffee and lunch.
