Circus Coffee

'I want everybody to be able to experience real coffee,' says Yoshinori Watanabe, the friendly owner of this cute little café located in a 100-year-old house in central Kyoto. He does his own roasting, producing beans with rich, complex flavours without too much bitterness. Circus Coffee’s main offering is its range of French roasts (from ¥486 per 100g), which are particularly popular with locals.
