Shinshindo

Description:

• The people who frequent the cafe and attached bakery are mostly students from Kyoto University, the buildings of which surround Shinshindo. Absent-minded professors are also to be spotted; they are the ones leaving their briefcases behind as they walk out the door. It has been said that this place looks more like a library than a cafe, with its big wooden tables covered in books. Coffee, tea, cocoa and milk provide the staples of the drink menu. The food consists of various kinds of bread and pastries from the bakery. Prices well within the range of students mean the beverages and eats here are affordable indeed.
