    Old Fashioned

    I visited this place during a work outing and it was very pleasant. I had an old fashioned cocktail - Japanese infused. The staff is very friendly and will recommend many things that they have created. They are fairly quick. I think the pros and cons of this place are the same. Meaning, the place is nestled up in the corner of all the downtown shops. So if you think of it more like a speakeasy and like the hiding, it's great! But with it being a little hidden, it might be a little hard to find. It has a very minimalist and very relaxing vibe to the place.

    Great interior, smaller but cute and quaint. We had the spiced sweet potato latte and black sesame hojicha. While we have not yet had its matcha the seasonal drink was a lot left to be desired. Great barista, lots of seating Will come back to try the matcha.

    Your favorite coffee spot is a in a location in the heart of historic downtown Lancaster. It was my first time visiting here and I almost missed it because I didn't see any signs. To me that's part of the allure. Once you're inside, you're greeted by a chill staff in the most chill setting. The interior is inspired by Japan which is a nice touch has a calming effect. I ordered a pourover and it was as a delicious as the vibes. At the time of writing this review however, I am regretting not also trying one of the super unique matcha or espresso based drinks. I'll have to come back! You can tell they are passionate about their craft and space as every detail here done with intention.

    Came here right when it opened. We tried the "Matcha, By George!" cocktail and an iced Matcha Latte. We also got chicken skewers with the most savory sauce. I don't think it's on the menu anymore though. Pretty solid spot, but just so far away!!!

    Sleek minimalist japandi aesthetic coffee shop. Small space but ample seating. Outlets near tables. Not freezing cold. Also, super duper nice barista. So sweet she offered coffee to the delivery workers. She also offered me water even though I didn't ask. She should get a raise

    Sleek, Modern, and Deliciously Unique Kyotobrew nails the modern café experience. The space is sleek and stylish with a cool music vibe that makes you want to linger. My Pistachio Hojicha Iced Latte was rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced--unlike anything you'll find at a chain. The marble toast with apple jam was fresh, warm, and comforting, with just the right hint of sweetness. Between the craft drinks, fresh‑baked pastries, and even a cocktail bar for evening hangs, Kyotobrew is more than a coffee shop--it's a destination. What a vibe.

    I recently fell in love with matcha and was excited to try out Kyotobrew since it's so close to my house. Even though I took my drink to go, I loved how clean and simple the inside of the cafe was. The service was okay, I stood by the register for a couple of minutes without being greeted while the barista chatted with the customer next to me and made their drink. Overall, I enjoyed the drink I ordered and would definitely come back to visit!

    DRINKS All the Matcha had a really nice green tea powder was well dissolved and they use good quality matcha. You can substitute for oat milk or pistachio milk. Strawberry Matcha - my friend got this drink. They put a little bit too much strawberry syrup, so the strawberry flavor was overpowering the matcha. The drink still tasted good, just like strawberry milk more so than matcha. Rosemary Vanilla Matcha - I personally really like this drink. I haven't seen any other place that makes this type of syrup. For me, it wasn't too sweet. I could take a hint of the vanilla, which gave a nice flavor. The Matcha flavor was really good! Definitely recommend! Ube Matcha - I got this drink to go. It tasted like they use actual ube. The ube part kind of has a bit of a soft potato texture to it which is why I'm convinced. He drinks a little on the side, but it's still a really good and you can taste the matcha! Jalapeño Cheddar Kolache - it was pretty decent overall. There's a sliver of jalapeño inside. The kolache is a lot more on the salty side, but it's still pretty decent. They also warm it up for you! VIBES The place is a lot smaller than I expected, but it's really clean. There are tables of two and tables of four as well as bar seating and some cushion seating with tiny tables. There are a decent amount of outlets throughout so perfect for studying or working on stuff. The interior has a modern, simplistic plant vibe which is really nice. Bathrooms are so pretty and clean! Gotta be one of my favorite cafes based on vibes. SERVICE Service was great! They were really quick to get the drinks out, and they bring it to you. They're also really quick to look around to see if you have any finished plates or cups to take up.

    Matcha is top tier! Get the pecan cinnamon roll - omg! The southern girl in me looooves that! Service is great, friendly staff. Aesthetics of this place is also top tier! Adding to my favorite list for sure.

    Such a sweet spot nestled in the town square! I tried the Hojicha latte (cold) and went right back in line to try the spiked version (hot). I also got the croissant sourdough without jam/butter bc I was very intrigued - it tasted exactly as the name suggests so it did not disappoint lol. Their drinks come unsweetened and there is an extra fee to add an alternative milk option or crafted sweeteners which are not overly sweet. Their staff were nice and the service was quick. I would love to come back and try their other cocktails!

    Stopped by kyotobrew on my drive from Dallas to Austin this morning. This place is a little hidden but there is ample parking. The interior of the cafe is nicely decorated and there are several tables. The service is nice and they are quick. I ordered an iced matcha latte with their brown sugar vanilla syrup and a jalapeño cheddar kolache. I had high hopes for this matcha after hearing everybody on tiktok rave about it but was a bit disappointed after trying it. The matcha tasted like a regular matcha latte but with less sweet. I normally like things less sweet but this drink could've used a little more. I wish the brown sugar flavor was a bit more prominent, I could not tell that brown sugar was used for this drink. The matcha itself was whisked well, I did not see any clumps of matcha in my drink. The kolache was good, but nothing crazy. I think social media overhyped this place (not their fault) but that set my expectations a little too high for this place and feel like that is the case for others as well. Overall, I don't think this place is worth going out of your way to try but it is a cute cafe to meet up with a friend or to study at.

    Wanted to see what the hype was about so I made the trek to Lancaster to get my breakfast on. The place is nestled between the other retail shops so you can miss it if you aren't careful! The aesthetic is nice- clean and simple, very japanese. Gives off a very peaceful ambiance. Ordered the cinnamon roll and a cold brew. Cinnamon roll was nice and soft, flavors were great. Not too sweet and the crushed pecans are a nice touch. Wish it was warm however. Cold brew tasted great, I just wish there was more of it haha. The giant ice cube takes up most of the real estate in that glass. Get here early because it can fill up quick!

    Kyoto is an experience when it comes to coffee. I was never big on matcha but going to Kyoto changed that for me. The strawberry matcha with pistachio milk was game changing. The tiger shokupan toast is very fulfilling and full of flavor. The atmosphere has a very chill vibe and perfect for studying and reading as well as a quick breakfast and coffee. The staff is very friendly which is why I return at least once a week.

They then decided to kick us out because we had too many people in the restroom. I only got one of the security guards name his name is Anthony another man in his 40s who had an accent decided to put his hands on me and push me. We were all so confused why we were getting kicked out. I will never be going back! That is absolutely insane. We did not take a long time either and they said it was gonna take too long if we all went together, which makes no sense. We took MAYBEEE 5 to 7 minutes in the restroom. The owner needs to get a grip on his security guards. Especially the ones that look like their on drugs sneaking people in from the back and the one man who put his hands on me for absolutely no reason!!! BEWARE LADIES: You cannot go to the bathroom with anyone or you will get kicked it and man handled !!!

We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

What I had: Raspberry Almond Cake - 5/5. Moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The almond balanced the raspberry perfectly, and the slice was massive. Sharing is optional, but I didn't. ;) Chocolate Chip Cookie - 5/5. Giant, warm, and delicious. It had that perfect chewy-meets-crispy texture, and thankfully wasn't dry (a common downfall for oversized cookies). Old Fashioned - 5/5. Honestly, one of the best I've had anywhere. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and strong. I wasn't expecting cocktail game this good at a dessert spot; pleasantly surprised! They've only been open about three months, and I really hope more people discover them because this concept is so good. A cute, cozy vibe, amazing desserts, and strong cocktails? Yes, please. Do yourself a favor: find this place.

While I didn't try the pastries this time, I couldn't help but notice their selection, including a churro croissant that looked absolutely amazing! I'm definitely making a mental note to try it on my next visit. Let's talk about the strawberry matcha - it was good. While it was refreshing, it just didn't have that real, fruity sweetness I was hoping for - tasted more like syrup instead of real strawberries. The matcha itself was decent, but I expected more balance and a more authentic taste. Still, it wasn't bad - just not the best I've ever had. But, honestly, the drink was secondary because the vibe is where this place shines. The upstairs lounge is the perfect escape - cozy, inviting, and great for catching up with friends or getting some work done. It's the kind of place you just want to settle into and relax. And if you've got little ones with you, the kids' playroom is an absolute gem. It's colorful and well-organized with awesome books. Located in the heart of historic downtown, this cafe also has that charming local vibe that makes it feel like a hidden gem. The setting really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is truly unbeatable. Whether you're here for the vibe, the cute decor, or just to hang out with friends, it's definitely worth a visit! I'll be back for sure--maybe just trying a different drink next time!
