Coffee, egg toasties, and a stable Wi-Fi connection are all you need to get your best work done at this Holly’s Cafe store in Kyoto!
Holly’s Cafe is a humble establishment with branches all across Japan’s Kansai region. In this article, I’ll be doing a quick review of my experience at the Fushimi store in Kyoto!
Ideal Work Setup
As a freelance writer, I love exploring new places to work that allow me to perform at my best while changing up the atmosphere. I was drawn to Holly’s Cafe when I saw the front window sign advertising their free Wi-Fi and charging ports for electronic devices.
Sure enough, that’s exactly what they offered when I went in and found my seat in the back corner of the store. While the main part of the store had a more casual vibe with people getting together and chatting, the area I found at the back was a lot more private with customers primarily working on something or enjoying alone time for themselves.
Delicious Food
Of course, the laptop-friendly setup wasn’t the only thing that drew me into the store, but also their delicious-looking menu!
Holly’s Cafe offers breakfast sets such as toasted egg sandwiches paired with a cup of coffee.
Basic as it may sound, the food was not only exceptionally affordable but quite a memorable meal in terms of taste and quality of ingredients.
The coffee wasn’t anything to write home about, but it did come in a rather large mug and was strong enough to help me get my tasks done!
Awesome Location!
Located in the popular Otesuji Shopping Street in Fushimi-Momoyama, this particular branch of Holly’s Cafe is super convenient.
A hustling and bustling street filled with shops, restaurants, cafes, and other niche services, Otesuji is a must-visit if you’re spending any length of time in Kyoto!
As a local resident, I spend much of my time here grocery shopping, training at the gym, dining at restaurants, or doing some writing at one of the cafes.
So whether you’re finishing up a session at Anytime Fitness or resting up after a long shopping streak, Holly’s Cafe stands out as the cafe of choice to re-energize yourself!
Of course, if you are planning to visit Japan, you’ll need a way to get around the country as efficiently and affordably as possible. Japan Rail provides an abundance of travel passes to suit your travel needs. So whether you are traveling individually or as a group, the JR Pass is every traveler’s go-to for getting around and making the most of your time in Japan!
