Located a few minutes' walk from Karasuma Oike Station, grains de vanille is a patisserie featuring a refined interior of white and wood where jewel-like cakes are displayed. Its signature offerings are fresh mousse-based pastries that melt delicately in the mouth. Creations crafted with adult sophistication, such as the Everest with its refreshing fromage blanc mousse and the Arabic layering coffee mousse with espresso and vanilla creme brulee, enjoy strong popularity. The mille-feuille, combining crunchy puff pastry with moderately sweet custard, and cream puffs with a crisp, light pastry are also well-regarded, with the praline flavor often selling out before noon. The fragrant baked goods featuring pistachio and caramel keep well, making them popular choices for gifts and souvenirs. The 18 table seats are entirely non-smoking, maintaining a tranquil atmosphere even when lively. With 2 parking spaces available, it is also well-suited for a refreshing stop while exploring Kyoto.
