Welcome to Thread Cafe, a hidden gem nestled in the charming streets of Kyoto, specifically located in the Kamigyo Ward. This tropical-style cafe is more than just a place to grab a bite; it's a sanctuary for those seeking a warm, cozy atmosphere paired with a unique culinary experience.

Thread Cafe specializes in vegetarian dishes that are not only healthy but bursting with flavor. Start your day with their tempting morning sets—choose between a delightful vegan toast or a homemade vegan muffin, both of which come accompanied by a refreshing drink for just ¥600 to ¥800. Each bite of the muffin is a testament to the care and creativity that goes into their food, baked fresh to order. Food lovers will appreciate the care shown in the preparation of their dishes, ensuring every meal is as delicious as it is nutritious.

The ambiance at Thread Cafe is equally inviting, with a super cozy vibe that encourages leisurely visits. It's the perfect spot to escape from the bustling city streets; the decor is creative, and the relaxing atmosphere is accentuated by soft 80’s music that adds a vintage charm. Customers rave about the calm and tranquil environment, making it an ideal setting for a rainy afternoon or a laid-back breakfast date.

While the cafe is run by the owner, described as "a calm and chilled guy," there may be occasional communication hurdles due to language differences, as noted by some visitors. However, patrons find that the overall experience, paired with the delicious food and the tranquil environment, more than makes up for it.

Reviews echo the sentiment of the cafe's appealing offerings. One customer shared, "The plate lunch was terrific!" highlighting the quality of the meals, while another described it as "a hidden tropical style café."

Spent a rainy afternoon there. Great, cosy atmosphere and very creative decor. The staff didn't speak English but we managed to order caffee latte and matcha.

Hidden along Kamitachiuri, a tropical style cafe with vegetarian dishes. The atmosphere is second to none.

This cafe has a super cosy vibe and is owned by a calm and chilled guy, running the place on his own. He plays decent 80’s classics :) The cafe offers great morning sets, which come either with a delicious bakery vegan toast or a homemade vegan muffin (¥600 - ¥800 incl. one drink). The drip coffee was tasty! They have soy milk too! The cafe opens at different times depending on the day. Be sure to check the website. Overall highly recommended

Really nice small Cafe. Very calm and nice atmosphere. For breakfast you can choose the muffin set (1 muffin and 1 drink) or choose between two morning plates (1 European and 1 Asian). The European is made of salad, toasts, vegetables and potatoes. I had the muffin which was excellent. He bakes the muffin on demand so it takes a little time but they were really good. You should also note that there are no English menu, so it would be better to have access to Google translate. Otherwise if you want a muffin set the owner can tell you what there is in the muffins and you can choose. The set is 800¥ I think. Overall it was a very good experience.

Very nice hidden place with the atmosphere of a little Californian cafe. Very nice service and very good coffee. I recommend the toast either with homemade jam or camembert.
