Cafe Plum

Tucked away in a historic Nara town-house (machiya), Cafe Plum is a tranquil oasis famous for its exceptionally smooth siphon-brewed coffee and homemade plum-based treats. It is a perfect spot to escape the crowds after visiting Nara Park, offering a warm, minimalist wooden interior and jazz music playing softly in the background. Expect friendly, English-speaking staff and beautifully presented desserts like their signature plum jelly and chiffon cakes.
