When wandering through the enchanting streets of Kyoto, La Tiare Kyoto stands out as a delightful gem nestled near the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha. This charming café invites visitors to indulge in a captivating array of treats that perfectly blend traditional flavors with a modern twist.

The atmosphere at La Tiare is serene and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to unwind after exploring the vibrant local scenery. With a cozy interior and soft lighting, it offers a peaceful respite where you can soak in the tranquil ambiance and savor each bite. Notably, its proximity to the train station allows for easy access, ensuring that whether you're arriving from a morning hike at Fushimi Inari or an afternoon shopping trip, a delightful break at this café is just moments away.

One of the highlights of La Tiare is their sumptuous ice cream—considered by many visitors to be the best in the area. As customer Stella Frenzy aptly described, the ice cream is "unreal, soo delicious and creamy," enjoyed in a perfectly crafted cone. Priced at just ¥400, the quality is astonishing, making it a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. A fellow enthusiast, Luis Montilla, echoed this sentiment, describing the cone's texture as reminiscent of cheesecake crust, crunchy yet satisfying. Imagine taking your first bite and being enveloped in a creamy sweetness that dances on your palate!

If you're craving something warm, be sure to sample their hot chocolate, especially on a chilly Kyoto day. Sunny Ghosh relished a cup right after visiting the nearby Inari Taisha. He noted the lovely service by the friendly staff, and the rich aroma and fresh flavor of the hot chocolate make it a perfect pairing to your experience. Additionally, for matcha lovers, the ice matcha latte shines bright on their menu; the option to customize it without syrup appeals to those who prefer a purer taste. Meanwhile, the matcha parfait—beautifully layered with rich flavors and delightful textures like chewy mochi and sweet red bean—provides a feast for the eyes and the senses.

At La Tiare Kyoto, every dish is a testament to quality and craftsmanship. The collective accolades from customers reflect the café's dedication to creating not only delicious food but also unforgettable experiences. Whether you're unwinding after a long day of exploration or simply indulging in a sweet treat, La Tiare offers a unique taste of Kyoto that you won’t want to miss!

I can only agree with the other reviews. The ice cream was unreal, soo delicious and creamy and the cone was perfectly made as well. I had a lot of snacks in kyoto, but this one definitely stood out. (and that for only 400¥!)

I tried a cup of hot chocolate in a very cold day during my visit to Fushino Inari Taisha. One can find this coffee shop when you exit Inari Taisha. I was served by a very lovely lady and a young girl. They were very soft spoken and very welcoming. The hot chocolate was tasting fresh and there was a wonderful aroma. I would definitely recommended people to try this local coffee shop.

I ordered ice matcha latte. It was good and u can ask without syrup. The shop is quite peaceful for this area and close to the train station.

For ¥400 the ice-cream was beyond incredible, I was honestly blown away at the quality for the price. The cone has the most delicious texture almost like eating the crust of a cheesecake but crunchy. The scream itself was perfect sweetness, the texture was creamy and really satisfying as well. I see other ice cream sellers around the area selling ¥600-800, some which are just very generic ice-cream using the mass-produced cones and such, so the quality doesn't even compare with many of them when it comes to this one.

The matcha parfait was beautifully layered with rich matcha flavor, sweet red bean, chewy mochi, and cornflakes.

That strawberry ice cream cone was unreal! Honestly the best ice cream cone I’ve ever eaten. I won’t be surprised if I start dreaming about it. Also the service was great, and there was no line, even on a busy summer day next to Fushimi Inari Shrine. Thank you!

One of the best ice creams I’ve had! The ice cream itself was great but the cone that it came in was also phenomenal. Highly recommend!
