About

Alt. is a tiny coffee roastery with a handful of seats, in-house roasted beans, pour-overs and coffee flights. Vegan cakes, falafel sandwiches and hot dogs make it a good stop for a snack near Nijo Castle, though the narrow stools and small counter suit a quick visit better than a long stay.
