X.COFFEE (By Dot Coffee)

Just a short walk from Keihan Yodo Station, X.COFFEE (By Dot Coffee) opens its doors at 7:00 on weekdays and 6:00 on weekends. Housed in a renovated shinkin bank, the airy venue features high ceilings and a harmonious blend of exposed concrete and warm wood, revealing an interior that feels unexpectedly deep compared to its street-facing entrance. Seating spans comfortable sofas for lingering to wall-facing counter spots ideal for solo visits, and pets are welcome to join.

Vibrant Omelette Brunches and Fruit-Packed Acai Bowls

One of the kitchen's signature offerings is the omelette brunch, pairing avocado toast with an omelette folded around tomato and cheese, finished with an aromatic basil sauce. The soft, melting eggs and fresh herbal notes bring a bright touch to breakfast or lunch. Another popular pick is the acai bowl, heaped with colourful fresh fruit for a lighter morning meal. Those arriving with a bigger appetite can turn to the omuburg—a hearty plate layering an omelette and hamburger steak over seasoned ketchup rice—or a generously filled ham-and-cheese toasted sandwich.

House-Roasted Brews and Rich Basque Cheesecake

Behind the counter, the beverage selection centres on in-house roasted pour-overs highlighting the unique characteristics of single-origin beans from origins like Ethiopia and Mexico. The drinks menu extends to caffè lattes and lightly bitter matcha lattes. A fragrant cup pairs especially well with their rich Basque cheesecake, available in plain, matcha, and chocolate varieties.

Service operates on an order-and-pay-first system at the register before you take a seat, with friendly staff ready to guide you through the day's options. Whether you are heading out for a stroll around Kyoto Racecourse and Yodo Shrine or looking for a calm spot to ease into the day, the cafe offers a welcoming pause.
