About this place
Unzen’s pancakes make an impression: two thick layers stacked together, with a satisfyingly substantial bite. They are listed at 800 yen, and some diners have enjoyed them with butter and maple syrup. Opinions differ on the texture; some find the batter light and fluffy, while others describe it as dense and filling. Several diners comment on the generous portion. It could make a hearty meal for one, though those with smaller appetites might prefer to share. One visit record mentions waiting about 15 minutes for the pancakes to cook, so they are better suited to a leisurely brunch with coffee than a rushed breakfast.
For something more savoury, consider the egg sandwich. It is listed at 800 yen, and diners have described the portion as generous. One diner found that adding a little salt improved the toasted egg sandwich. The breakfast menu also includes coffee, toast and a boiled egg, as well as an egg baker set with toast. Breakfast is served from 7:00 until 15:00 on weekends and 17:00 on weekdays and Fridays.
Some diners appreciate the coffee’s deep bitterness, while others describe its flavour as full-bodied. Enjoy it slowly alongside the pancakes, or pair it with an egg sandwich for a light meal. Unzen suits breakfast or brunch, as well as a pause over pancakes and coffee. It is located on Ayanishinodoin-cho, south of Ayanokoji on Nishinotoin Street, in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto.
