Horrible cafe to enjoy matcha. Everything we ordered was subpar, and the place is clearly understaffed. The glasses for the self-service drinks were dirty, making us question the hygiene. The only positive was the friendly service, but you’d be better off trying the shops next door.

Despite belows negative reviews, we decided to go here anyway. I understand that people say that it is a bit pricey. There are alot of dessert places in Japan and they can be less expensive than this place. Nonetheless the desserts here were delicious. I had a matcha parfait and my partner had a matcha tiramisu set. We both liked it :)

Nestled inside Kyoto station, Kyo-Anju provides a good sitting spot for travellers. However, it is overpriced for the quality of the food and drinks that they provide. We tried the strawberry daifuku and coffee.

The warabi-mochi parfait was fantastic. Beautifully composed with plenty of ice cream and not too much corn-flake filler like some places. The ingredients tasted wonderful.

Super unhygienic, the staff scratched his nose while preparing the food. Another staff dropped the staff on the floor, picked it up and continued serving without washing her hands. She dropped some seaweed on the table (which is the same table that put the dirty utensils), I saw her putting the seaweed back to the container. They were all talking, not wearing masks while preparing the food. Also, their matcha ice cream taste like table cloth. It's crazy.
