Kyoto, Japan - European-style garden coffee beside Philosopher's Path: Botsniv Coffee

On the way from #Heianjingu to #Ginkakuji, before turning into #Philosopher's Path, I unexpectedly visited the coffee shop "Botanic Coffee Kyoto". I say it’s an accident because I originally searched for another one on Google Maps, but the sun was too strong and I happened to see one that looked good, so I went in! Botanic Coffee is located in a residential area, on the B1 floor of a 4-storey building. Going down the stairs, you can see a small open-air courtyard. The outdoor seats give you a relaxing feeling with a cool breeze. The interior is decorated in a classical style with European furniture, just like being in a country shop in the south of France, very fresh and elegant. Having afternoon tea here will make you feel more elegant. Since I had just finished eating #山元麺蔵, I ordered an iced coffee and a muffin. When the tableware and boiled water were brought up, I thought the glass cups were so elegant and the patterns on the plates were so beautiful, as if I was enjoying afternoon tea in a palace. The muffins are similar to Kyushu muffins, thick but fluffy, not too soft, and still have a certain chewiness. Put a piece of butter on top, melt it with the temperature of the muffin, and then pair it with syrup and ice cream. The conflicting feeling of salty and sweet, hot and cold blends into a wonderful taste in the mouth. Botsnic Coffee is a small community shop, mostly with regular customers from the neighborhood and a few tourists who accidentally pass by. After enjoying the cool breeze, we continued to stroll along this Philosophy Path which is full of fresh green and without cherry blossoms.
