Black Cat Coffee

If you’re in Gion and looking for a good cup of coffee, Black Cat Coffee is a great place to stop by. This small stand serves high-quality specialty coffee and matcha lattes made with premium Kyoto matcha. The menu is simple, but everything is made with care, and the flavors really stand out.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a nice spot for a quick break while exploring the area. It’s also one of the few coffee stands in Gion that opens early, which is great for early risers. Their cappuccinos are especially well-made, smooth, and rich in flavor. The shop accepts cash and electronic payments.

One of the highlights of Black Cat Coffee is the owner—a friendly elderly gentleman who speaks English and enjoys chatting with customers. His welcoming personality makes the experience even better, and it’s clear that both locals and visitors appreciate his kindness. If you’re in the area, this little coffee stand is definitely worth a visit.
