Kurasu Ebisugawa: A Stylish Coffee Shop in Kyoto's Alleyways

✓Kurasu Ebisugawa Located in the alleys of Marutamachi, this stylish coffee shop features an open workspace that doubles as a bar counter. Guests can enjoy watching the baristas craft their specialty drinks, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that seems to attract a younger crowd. I ordered the sweet matcha latte, which was impressively well-made. While there, I happened to notice the shop across the street. Isn't that the French crepe place recommended by Linlin, the owner? Curious, I asked the female barista if the shop was popular. (When it comes to French crepes, it's best to ask a woman for her opinion!) The barista immediately replied, "Yes, it's very popular! There's usually a long line. But hey, why isn't there a line today? Hurry up and finish your drink so you can go try it!" (After I finished eating, she came out to ask me how it was and we exchanged tips on exploring local spots. She mentioned that the curry place nearby is her favorite.)
