カフェソワレ京都One of the many old, funky cafes in Kyoto is Soware.
It is just north of Shijo Dori on a narrow street just west of Kiyamachi.
The street is full of seedy "shops" where various services can be purchased. Soware faces an outdoor smoking area next to the lovely canal that runs next to Kiyamachi.
Inside the cafe is a trip back in time. We are not sure exactly when but it is definitely not 2010. 1961 maybe?
The parfaits, coffee, and other items on the menu won't win any awards, but the whole experience - sitting in a dark old cafe redolent of another period - is worth whatever they charge you.
