About this place
Visitors describe Cafe Taka’s egg sandwich as a combination of soft egg, crisp toast and fresh, juicy lettuce. The contrasting textures make it an appealing option for a lighter bite. One diner also tried the takana pilaf and shrimp pilaf as separate orders, and shared a favourable impression of the rice dishes. Choose a sandwich for something light or pilaf for a more substantial meal—both fit the feel of a traditional coffee shop.
For something sweet, another visitor ordered a cappuccino with jam toast. There are also reports of thick-cut toast served with butter and sugar, and freshly squeezed orange juice, making it possible to linger over the café menu after a meal. Blended and American coffee are each 600 yen; cappuccino is 700 yen, with mocha, caramel, almond and honey options listed. Beyond coffee, the menu includes tea, cocoa served hot or iced, and homemade honey lemon. There are choices to pair with something sweet or enjoy on their own during a break.
Cafe Taka is in the northern part of Gion and opens daily from 18:00 until 2:00 the next day. It can also be a place to stop for coffee and toast after an evening meal.
