A hole-in-the-wall coffee place in Kyoto, Japan: Delightful spot for coffee and toast in Kyoto. If you’re visiting as a non-Japanese speaker, just be discreet and polite — the shop is (charmingly) minuscule, and the owner quite demure.

Komeda’s Coffee, a delightful chain of diners throughout Japan: The food here is extremely solid (egg salad sandwiches, curry, etc.), as is the coffee. I stumbled upon one of their locations in a city once when I wanted someplace to relax for a little while — but now I will actively seek a Komeda out. Serious retro charm.
