It is a donut specialty store designed by the architectural master #KengoKuma.

Visited Japan back in May 2024, a short walk from Kawaramachi Station, you can find “KOE Donuts” in Kyoto. It was a treat for both the tastebuds and the eyes. The donuts were light, not too sweet, and made with organic, local ingredients. We had dine-in with delicious tasty donuts and drinks. Whether you’re a donut enthusiast or simply seeking a cozy café with a unique ambiance, KOE Donuts in Kyoto is a delightful stop worth adding to your itinerary.

Koe Donuts, located in Kyoto's Shijo Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, is a popular Kyoto dessert. The store sells more than 40 flavors to choose from. There are many seats inside the store, and they are very considerate to provide many USB sockets, so customers can sit for a long time. When your feet are tired from walking, you can come to Koe Donuts for afternoon tea~ You can also sit in front of the open kitchen and watch the chef make donuts~ There are also some limited products of Koe Donuts' collaboration available for purchase on site. This time I tried the chocolate donuts, which were very soft and the chocolate wasn’t too sweet. It was also very relaxing to watch the clerk making them in front of me❤️❤️ koé donuts 📍Address: 557, Nakagyo Ward, Nakanocho, Kyoto, Japan 604-8042 🕰️Opening hours: 8am-8pm 💰Average consumption per person: ¥1000

🍩《Kyoto/Kawaramachi》 I've only ever had takeout, so this was my first time eating in and I was surprised at how spacious the shop is🫢 I thought there would be mirrors in the back, but there were seats😂 Since I was there, I decided to be a little Kyoto-conscious and chose the Kyoto matcha and five-colored bean donut🤤 As a lover of sweet azuki beans, I really like these five-colored beans🥰 The Kyoto matcha donut has a chewy dough and is delicious! Right in front of me, a creative performance of the eat-in donuts started, and I was asked if I wanted to take a photo, so I took one📸 The cream was so plentiful that I gave the delicious-looking donut to the lady at the back🍓✨ There were a lot of customers, from foreigners to students and families. There are plenty of seats and it's close to the station ◎🙌✨ It's often crowded on weekends, but it's very convenient on weekdays☺️ —————————— ✔︎ koe donuts kyoto Address | 557 Nakano-cho, Shinkyogoku-dori Shijoagaru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto Open | 9:00-20:00 Closed | Irregular holidays Access | 5 minutes walk from Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi Station #KyotoCafe #KyotoGourmet #koedonuts #KyotoSweets #Kyoto #kyoto
