Kyoto coffee brand with a Kona farm, first opened in Hong Kong.

Kenneth Shoji opened the first shop in Discovery Bay in 2013, then chose Kyoto over his native Tokyo for the Higashiyama flagship the following year.

Beans are roasted in store, and the Broadway Market shop, one of four in London, roasts to order on a Tornado King small-batch roaster. Espresso comes from custom Slayer machines built in Seattle.

At this shop

On the corner of Broadway Market, the windows look across the road to a street-art mural and the market's stall awnings. Inside, a long counter runs along an exposed brick wall lined with hand-labelled trays of green coffee, roasted on demand through a doorway stacked with sacks. Wooden stools line the pavement outside, with more along the back wall inside.
