The lunch set is a solid deal. Salad, soup, a few sides. I went for the hojicha chiffon cake to finish&mdash;it was so light and fluffy, not too sweet. Really hit the spot.

Found this place for a vegetarian lunch. The pasta was really good, and the staff was nice about customizing it. I had a glass of the house red with it, which was a simple but solid pairing. Made for a relaxed midday meal.

The dorayaki here is absolutely the best I&#39;ve ever had! The sweetness is just right, and the texture is perfect. I wish I had bought more!

No. 13 of Light Bites in Nara City

Perfect for a quick, quiet break. The traditional tea room is so calming.

Sat on the tatami mats in the quiet old-style room. The pies are baked fresh here. Had the apple and plum. Crust was really good, flaky and warm. Service was nice and quick.

The brunch set is a decent option here. The chocolate pound cake was pretty good, moist and not too sweet. Paired with a drink and a croissant, it made for a fine, simple breakfast in Nara.

The pizza dog was a fun surprise, and the ogura toast was solid. But the real star was the house-made ginger ale - it paired so well with the savory notes. All that for under $16 AUD, including a free toast. Hard to beat.

I always look for their seasonal specials. The pistachio latte, hot version, had a nice nutty flavor. You could tell they used fresh pistachio paste. The limited-time drinks here are usually a good bet.

The lunch set is a solid deal. You can pick a pizza or pasta from the main menu, which is nice. My margherita was simple but the crust had a good chew. It&rsquo;s a quiet spot for a weekday bite.

A quiet find in Higashimuki. Came for lunch after the park. The set meal was so fresh! Loved the variety of seasonal vegetables, all crisp and vibrant. The grilled fish was simple but the quality of the ingredients really stood out. A nice, healthy recharge.

Convenient spot right on the main road, easy to find. It does get packed with both tourists and locals, but the service still runs smoothly. Portions are surprisingly generous for a cafe, which is nice.

The service here is pretty good, very attentive. We had the zunda mochi, which was quite nice. The tea was authentic, a decent spot for a quiet break.

Upstairs seating is the best. So bright and spacious. Just sat there for hours with a book and a latte. Really chill spot.

Been coming here for years, and their sweet crepes are consistently spot-on. The texture is just right, not too heavy. It&#39;s the one thing I keep coming back for.

The persimmon smoothie was so good! Sweet, with fresh fruit on top. Perfect for a chill catch-up. Just a heads up, they ask everyone to order something if you sit inside. We ended up at the public benches nearby, which were actually nice.

Stopped by after visiting the shrine. The soft serve set with coffee was really nice. The ice cream was creamy and the little presentation was cute. A good little pick-me-up.

The fresh bread kept coming, warm from the oven. So easy to fill up on it before the main course even arrives.

The tables with phone chargers are a lifesaver! My phone was almost dead and it was so nice to just plug it in while I ate. The staff were really sweet about it too.

The cream croquette lunch was tasty. Their house coffee was a nice pairing, and the whole thing was under &yen;1500.

The coffee here has a lovely fragrance. I went for a lighter roast today, and it was just right&mdash;smooth, not bitter at all. Really appreciate that they offer different roast options.

The service was exceptional, with staff offering timely refills of coffee and water. It&#39;s the kind of attentive service you&#39;d expect from a hotel lounge.

Stopped by for a sweet treat. The pancakes were fluffy and the coffee hit the spot. It&#39;s a cozy spot, though the seats are a bit low for me. Still, a nice place to unwind.

Pasta was solid, a nice change from ramen. Service was quick, place is clean and spacious. Cash only, which was a bit inconvenient.

The latte art was so pretty I had to take a picture. Banana cake was moist and not too sweet. Coffee had a nice, smooth taste. The old wooden tables and quiet music made it a really chill spot to just sit for a while.

The Australian-style coffee was so smooth, and they had soy milk which I really appreciated. It&#39;s a cozy spot to just sit and read for a while. Found some English magazines too. Felt very welcomed.

Clean and bright spot. Good for a break after walking around Nara. Plenty of seats. Just needed a place to sit for a bit.

The omelet pilaf with curry was a solid choice. The set had a good amount of salad and soup. Prices felt fair for the holidays. My only note is that the house red wine pairing felt a bit too simple for the rich curry sauce.
