Welcome to CAFE&GALLERY WAKU, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward. This charming cafe is more than just a place to grab a bite; it's an experience enveloped in a warm, serene atmosphere, perfect for a cozy brunch or a leisurely coffee date.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a relaxing ambiance, soft music playing in the background, and a friendly staff ready to make your visit memorable.

CAFE&GALLERY WAKU boasts a delightful selection of dishes that showcase fresh, seasonal ingredients. The highlight of their menu is undoubtedly the WAKUランチ, a set lunch that is a celebration of flavors. Indulge in an exquisite combination of meats, selecting from succulent roast beef, delectable roast pork, or a mix of both, perfectly complemented by a creamy side of mashed potatoes and a tangy balsamic sauce that dances on your palate. This dish comes alongside an enticing array—a Spanish-style omelette, corn cream croquettes, fresh salad, and soup, all for just JP¥1,400 including a drink of your choice.

For dessert lovers, don't miss the 半熟ブリュレケーキ, a half-cooked creme brulee adorned with sweet chocolate and caramel flavors, melting gently in your mouth. And for a refreshing treat, the WAKUサンデー with luscious fruit and a crunchy baked bun topping is simply irresistible. Enjoy these delights while sipping on some expertly made coffee, tea, or refreshing juices.

CAFE&GALLERY WAKU doesn't just stop at food and drinks; it prides itself on the genuine hospitality that's felt throughout your visit. Customers, like Oscar Pearson, commend the staff’s friendliness and the careful preparation that goes into each dish, creating the perfect blend of comfort and culinary delight.
