Iwata Coffee

イワタコーヒー店

4.2Est. 60Kamakura, Kanto

Overview

Kamakura's oldest coffee shop, famous for its incredibly thick, traditional hotcakes.

Iwata Coffee has been in Kamakura longer than most of the tourists visiting it. The shop is famous for hotcakes so thick they take about 20 minutes to cook through, arriving golden and dense with a faint eggy sweetness. The interior is all dark wood and worn surfaces, with the kind of deliberately unhurried pace that suits a morning in the city. Seating is limited and waits are common, but the retro atmosphere and old-school coffee make it worth planning around.
