01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Set in a quiet residential corner of Tojiin Minamicho in Kyoto's Kita Ward, muelek offers lightly seasoned, savoury cake salé as a gentle meal option. Offerings sometimes include cake salé scented with aromatic green shiso, which can be ordered alongside a cup of soup or paired with sweet chai in the "S&S Set." For those looking for something heartier, Thai curry is a dependable lunchtime fixture, dished up with black rice in 2 varieties: red and green.

After a meal, freshly brewed coffee and seasonal sweets such as rich nama chocolate make it easy to linger over tea. Retaining the character of a private home, the tatami-matted room features a small library and a selection of fair-trade sundries, cultivating an unhurried atmosphere where even solo visitors can settle in comfortably.

Operating hours run from 11:00 to 18:00, with regular closures on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Payment is cash only, so carrying cash is recommended when visiting.
