About this Restaurant

"

ELEPHANT FACTORY COFFEE, a Kyoto cafe selected for the 'Cafe Hyakumeiten' list in 2025, 2022, and 2021, is a hidden gem located on the second floor of a building near Kawaramachi Station. It's renowned for its quiet, relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for solo visits or deep conversations. The cafe specializes in carefully hand-dripped coffee using deep-roasted beans sourced from Hokkaido, offering a rich and complex flavor. They also serve delightful, mildly tart cheesecakes and a selection of teas imported from Lyon, France, as well as cocktails. Open late into the night, it's a popular 'night cafe' spot. Please note that reservations and credit card payments are not accepted.
