Cafe Shizuka Kyoto

Cafe Shizuka喫茶静香

Cafe Shizuka is one of Kyoto's many classic coffee joints.

It is run by two women of more than a certain age, who are fetching and charming and reason enough to visit.

The cafe has been around for decades and does not seem to have changed much since then.

Aside from a tv that looked to be circa 1996, everything in the shop is from a different era: the floor tiles, booths, coffee grinders, register, wooden paneling.

It is not however a museum piece. The cafe was full on Saturday noon, and we were lucky to get into the last open booth.

It clearly has a loyal local following.
