Orange cafe Suimon

Super cute cafe, the ganache cakes were really good too! Too bad that the cake slices could not be ordered separately, but they are very tasty. The atmosphere is really relaxing and calming.

We watched a lot of YouTube vlogs while researching for our trip to Japan, and no longer remember from where we learnt about this cafe in Nara (from videos of Mei Time or Piqtour? or...), otherwise we might simply walked past it without knowing. What a cafe! We had the whole place to ourselves in a quiet afternoon, time had slowed to a stand still for us, or did we travel back somewhere through time? We sampled their coffee jelly drink plus coffee and cake set, all were very good. With the bonus interior space and decoration, and their relaxing garden view, couldn't ask for more.

When we were ready to head back from the Nara park, we took a path going through a neighborhood and randomly found this place - a private residence that serves tea and dessert. We went there and I think it was one of the best experiences we had in our Japan trip - not just because of the food but because of the fact that we were inside a house, overlooking their backyard, In the adjustment room, there was a lady making a private music lesson with her student. It was like watching a great documentary. And it made me feel like local for a moment. No kidding but I was almost crying of how happy I was in that moment. This place felt like a hidden gem and I do recommend it to everyone. Though, such experiences are best when you don’t expect them :)

Found this beautiful home cafe when we were walking through the area. The chocolate cake and matcha cake were delicious! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming too and we really enjoyed the traditional seating area. Highly recommend !

A nice environment with reasonable price for a cup of ice coffee and cake. However, there is a cello practice beside me which can be annoying at times.

Definitely my highlight from out Nara Trip! Lovely people, good tea and amazing Matcha Cake and traditional Matcha. I will come back!

Essentially in their front room, a cosy tea room away from the crowds of Nara. Very hospitable. Didn’t try the cakes but they looked delicious.

An absolutely adorable little cafe! There's a lovely view of the owners garden and the homemade cakes are amazing. I definitely recommend checking this place out. It's just a 5 minute walk from Todaiji so very convenient to get to after a bit of sightseeing. If I ever find myself back in Nara I'll definitely be coming back here again!
