Cafe Lanka

From a simple plain waffle served with margarine and syrup to vibrant plates topped with fruit and cream, the menu at Cafe Lanka in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture, covers a broad spectrum of waffles. Guests can choose toppings pairing cream with fruits and sauces such as kiwi, mango, or mixed berries, or opt for a richer version crowned with ice cream. It makes a satisfying accompaniment to a cup of coffee during a relaxed afternoon break.

Waffles here are not merely desserts; they also take center stage as savory meals. Built on 20 cm waffle rounds, the shop's waffle sandwich lineup features comforting fillings such as sausage, burger patties, and homestyle tamagoyaki rolled omelet, including a deluxe variation. Plated sets combining waffles with scrambled eggs, salad, and a choice of ham or bacon are also on hand, making it easy to adapt an order from a light bite into a hearty morning or midday meal.

Set-style lunches are served as well, spanning a daily special, hamburg steak, karaage fried chicken, ginger pork, and chicken steak. For those seeking the celebratory feel of classic Japanese Western-style fare, combinations like hamburg steak with fried prawns or a rich stew lunch make dependable picks. The interior offers table seating in a tranquil setting, with dedicated parking available on the premises. Takeout is available, and payment is cash only.
