A New Culinary Experience by the Kamo River

In the scenic surroundings of Kyoto’s Kamo River, a fresh culinary spot is set to open its doors. The renowned bakery cafe "Pan to Espresso to" has collaborated with XREED to introduce the unique "Crepe to Espresso to Kamo River". Slated for its grand opening on May 18, 2026, this establishment will mark the 21st outlet of Crepe to Espresso to, expanding its reach both nationally and internationally.

What is Crepe to Espresso to?

Crepe to Espresso to, with locations in Omotesando and Arashiyama, offers customers a one-of-a-kind dessert known as the "Golden Crepe". This signature crepe is celebrated for its crispy texture and cookie-like aroma, a result of a meticulous development process that took a year and a half in collaboration with buzz-worthy gourmet creator "Wolf".

Social media buzz surrounding this delectable treat has been vibrant, fueled by its emphasis on quality ingredients and visual appeal.

Adding to the experience is their aromatic espresso brewed from self-roasted coffee beans, providing a delightful pairing with the crepes. This cafe aims to redefine how patrons enjoy the duo of crepes and coffee.

A Space That Embodies Kyoto's Charm

Visitors will find themselves in a serene and modern Japanese-inspired ambiance, featuring warm wood decor and soft lights from traditional washi paper pendant lamps. Whether you seek a solitary retreat or a table for a casual pause while walking along the Kamo River, the cafe offers options for everyone.

Patrons can enjoy freshly made crepes and espresso while immersing themselves in the tranquil atmosphere that defines Kyoto—a perfect opportunity for a touch of luxury in daily routines.

Exclusive Menu Highlight: Nama Kokuto Warabi Sugar

The standout feature of "Crepe to Espresso to Kamo River" is its exclusive creation, the "Nama Kokuto Warabi Sugar," which showcases traditional Kyoto ingredients. It combines richly flavored shaved "nama kokuto" (raw brown sugar) with the refined sweetness of "wasanbon" sugar, all encasing a melt-in-your-mouth homemade warabi mochi. The addition of salted butter and aromatic black syrup provides layered depth to the sweetness.

With every bite, the textural contrast of crispiness and chewiness unfolds, enveloping the palate in a distinctly Kyoto essence.

Their vision revolves around leveraging traditional Japanese ingredients, premium espresso crafted with care, and crepes made with precision. The goal is to offer a moment of richness amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They invite everyone to indulge in the delightful tastes as a reward for oneself or to create cherished memories with loved ones.
