Absolute hidden gem. This is a true coffee lovers cafe where the house pour-over is the star. The couple that runs the cafe are delightful, and the gentleman behind the counter is a true craftsman... no bitter notes whatsoever. It's not a Starbucks, so this isn't the place to grab a quick cup. However, if you want to sit and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, this is your place.

This is the spot I'd recommend for the quintessential "Japanese" coffee experience. This is not a spot where the price of coffee includes the view, you're here for simply for the coffee. And to ensure that you're only here for the coffee, there are a couple other things you should know about Windy. They don't serve food of any kind. They only accept cash. They don't really speak much English. If none of those things are impediments to you, then I'd definitely recommend swinging by. Windy's aesthetic is a blend of spartan utilitarianism and "so old, it became vintage." It kind of feels like he tried to figure out how to cram enough seats in the place while making room for his equipment, and was like, "That's good enough." All along the back wall, you'll find vintage ceramic ware that wouldn't feel out of place at your grandmother's. It's also a much bigger spot than I was expecting. They can probably fit 20 people in there, which is way more than I expecting for a hole-in-the-wall spot like this. The owner told us that he roasts beans every day, and showed us his roasting equipment. Sitting at the counter, we were able to watch him go through his process for handcrafting each cup. Each cup is cloth filtered, which makes a really clean, really balanced cup of joe. For 600 yen, you'll get a cup of coffee that exemplifies the old-school Japanese style of coffee-making. Other reviews point out that this guy's been making coffee at this spot for over 4 decades, so if you're a fan of good coffee, I'd recommend heading over the next time you're in Kyoto. This experience won't be available forever. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: Dine in Price per person: ¥1,000–2,000
