About this place
At Cafe Kawataro, the pleasure is taking time over a drink and a slice of cake while looking out over the garden. Visitors describe the Japanese garden as peaceful and the atmosphere as quiet. For matcha, there is matcha latte, or matcha served with Japanese sweets. Cakes on the menu include matcha chiffon, matcha chocolat and cheesecake, making it easy to pair one with another matcha drink or enjoy it with coffee.
One diner who tried the gateau chocolat as part of a cake set described it as rich. For a more indulgent treat, there is also gateau chocolat or a chocolate banana waffle. Maple butter and berry berry waffles offer alternatives to cake. Some visitors have ordered iced matcha or a matcha float, café latte or lemonade alongside chocolate cake. You can choose different drinks and share something sweet. The menu also includes matcha affogato and café affogato, tempting options when you want a drink and dessert together.
Food and drinks are served inside, with table service available. Visitors mention lingering over tea with a view of the garden and finding the seating comfortable, making this a relaxing stop during a day of sightseeing. Payment is cash only, so it is worth bringing some along.
