    Hi there,

    I will be in Kyoto for a week in November, staying at Hotel Monterey then a ryokan (with breakfast). We will be taking advantage of a few lunch Kaisei deals and won’t go for the hotel breakfast. I know there are probably some decent snack food/bread available from convenient stores that we can have as quick and casual breakfast. I am just wondering what other options might be? Cafes, wagashi stores, Mr Donuts?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hello incognito,

    Thank you for your question. As someone that enjoys eating out for breakfast, I have say that Japanese aren’t really into doing Western-style breakfast. I am also looking for places like you mention and will do some research on the subject and get back to you. In the meantime, this is my tried and true:

    The Le Petit Mec (Red Mec) bakery has amazing bread and coffee but is not that close to Hotel Monterey, maybe 10 or 15 minutes by taxi. Their potato bread, warmed with plenty of butter and a café au lait just cannot be beat, in my mind.

    Hi Peko,

    thank you for getting back at me! I forgot to mention that I totally wouldnt mind having Japanese for breakfast. I am just not sure if it’s customary for the locals to go out for breakfast. And yes I have read the coverage for Le Petit Mec from Kyotofoodie.com. Thank you for such an excellent site, btw, I am sure it has benefited many visitors!

    Hello incognito,

    Sorry for the delayed reply. Japanese breakfast is also great, the best place to enjoy that is at a ryokan (inn) or at home. There aren’t really restaurants that serve Japanese style breakfast — as Japanese aren’t really big one eating out for breakfast.
