✨The first in the world✨ Afternoon tea has started at Ralph's Coffee Kyoto BAL store from October! Priced at ¥5,000 (excluding tax) and available by reservation only, it is served in the private room "Rear Hall" at the back of the café. The sweets include Ralph's Coffee coffee mousse, s'mores, caramel popcorn, cheesecake, and other American-style treats. The savory items include avocado and salmon open sandwiches, BLT sandwiches, cheese toast, and more. Scones come in plain and matcha flavors with clotted cream and lemon jam. Drinks include an aperitif (non-alcoholic option available), coffee, and tea with free refills. Especially popular are the cute latte art lattes and cappuccinos. While the afternoon tea at this café is on the pricier side, the generous portions and high quality make it worth it. This is a unique experience only found here in Kyoto, so be sure to visit when you're in town! ❤️

This is Ralph's Coffee by Ralph Lauren. It is located inside a store and the interior is lovely. I ordered a set of carrot cake and tea, which was a good deal. The customers were all women during my visit. Thank you for the meal!

After lunch, I took a break at "Ralph's Coffee Kyoto BAL". My favorite Ralph's coffee and Ralph's chocolate cake are exquisite. Just like the special Tsururi parfait at "Saryo Tsujiri", the desserts at this cafe have become a post-meal delight. Not only visually appealing, but also a brand cafe with reliable quality.

Today on my day off, I visited Kawaramachi with my wife. For lunch, we went to "Ralph's Coffee." I was determined to revisit this place after being captivated by the delicious cake and coffee on my last visit. I knew from my previous experience that this cafe is not just about aesthetics. This time, I also tried their food menu and ordered the "Tuna Melt Sandwich" and "Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant," which were of high quality and satisfying as expected. Every time I visit, I feel like I'm in an American cafe. "Ralph's Coffee" impresses not only with its aesthetics, which many brand cafes focus on, but also with its uncompromising quality. As a finishing touch to the meal, I once again ordered the "Ralph's Chocolate Cake," which was also exceptional in taste.

Carrot Cake Blend I thought the carrot cake would be American-sized, but it was actually the perfect size for Japan. It was sweet and the cream cheese frosting was rich. The coffee portion was surprisingly large. They had a variety of cakes and it was a great café.

Afternoon tea is by reservation only. It is served in a private room specially designed for afternoon tea. The menu features a variety of American sweets lined up neatly. The sweetness is on the strong side, so it might be a bit tough for those who are not fond of sweet treats. However, paired with the diverse selection of teas from Harney & Sons and coffee from Ralph's, enjoying this sweetness to the fullest is the highlight of this afternoon tea set. The staff strike a perfect balance between being attentive and friendly, making it a very enjoyable experience. It is a great value afternoon tea where you can relax for two hours in a stylish setting.

I visited Ralph's Coffee Kyoto BAL to fulfill my wife's wish, and it was filled with the charm of Ralph Lauren. The interior of the cafe had a whimsical atmosphere reminiscent of Disneyland. We ordered the signature "Ralph's Chocolate Cake" and "Ralph's Coffee". The cake was delicious with a rich chocolate flavor. My wife was impressed. The coffee was also satisfying in taste and portion, and the cost performance was excellent. This cafe, with its quality and Instagrammable appeal, is a unique presence in Kyoto. I would like to visit again.

I went to Ralph's Coffee. It was not crowded in the evening, so I was able to enter smoothly. The interior is very cute and it is a cozy cafe. I ordered the American Breakfast, an original blend tea, with milk added (free of charge). The size was large and I felt like I got a good deal. It is an original blend tea created in collaboration with the New York brand Harney & Sons. It is delicious! I would like to visit again at this price.

I visited the Ralph Lauren café in Kyoto. It is located next to the Ralph Lauren shop in the Kyoto Bal. I had imagined a navy theme, but the café had a refreshing American vibe with green and white colors. The café had mirrors on both sides, creating a spacious feeling. I was surprised to find that it was not very crowded. There is a separate area for afternoon tea at the back of the café. We sat at a table near the front, and the seats were comfortable with cushions. The table was decorated with white roses, silverware, and dark green accents. The coffee, matcha latte, tea, chocolate cake, and mixed berry muffin were a bit pricey, but they were delicious and worth it. The matcha latte had a cute heart art on top. The chocolate cake was moist, rich, and had a refined sweetness. It was a big portion and very tasty. I thought the Ralph Café would be intimidating, but it turned out to be a lovely space where it was easy to have a conversation. The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. Personally, I think it is better than a certain famous coffee franchise. It was a calming and enjoyable experience. I look forward to trying the unique Ralph Lauren afternoon tea next time.

I opted for the dessert set. If you're okay with coffee or tea, you can get a set with a drink for around 300-400 yen, which is a good deal. It can add up to almost 1000 yen, but the chocolate cake is rich and delicious. There are sofa seats, and even though there is a time limit when it's crowded, surprisingly you can relax. The staff is friendly. Overall, the prices are on the higher side.

I arrived around 2 pm on Sunday without a reservation and only had to wait for about 30 minutes. Maybe it was good that there was a time limit. I ordered cheesecake and a cafe au lait. The cafe au lait can randomly come with a bear design, but mine didn't. I bought a bear icing cookie near the register and took a photo with the cheesecake! It was so cute! The cheesecake was delicious. The atmosphere was nice, and I would like to go again.

Spacious and cute, I was able to relax and enjoy myself slowly. Both the savory and sweet items were delicious! The staff were very polite and attentive. I would love to visit again for afternoon tea. Thank you for the surprise souvenir on the way out.

I went there around 2 pm on Saturday. It was a popular place with 6 groups waiting in front of me. I ordered a Ralph's brownie with ice topping, a Polo Bear cookie, and a cafe latte. The Polo Bear cookie was so hard that it felt like it could break my teeth, but the brownie was incredibly rich and delicious.

I love the chocolate cake here. This time I got it for takeout. It's not too thick, but rich and satisfying. You can enjoy various layers of texture and flavors. Personally, I think it's tastier than chocolate cakes from other places. The downside is that it's a bit pricey, over a thousand yen. Takeout takes a little time.

Even though I went before dinner, I couldn't resist the temptation of three different cakes and ended up sharing them. I personally loved the carrot cake I tried for the first time. However, my friend, who has tried carrot cake at other places before, said it was a unique flavor. The latte was also rich and paired well with the cakes.

Around 1 PM on a regular day, the sofa seats on both sides were about half full. The croissant sandwich was delicious! The cakes looked big and tasty. I didn't have time to try them this time, but I definitely want to go back!

It is a stylish shop with clean and elegant interior lighting and atmosphere. Today, I only had Earl Grey tea, but it was a graceful moment. The staff recommended booking for afternoon tea, which seems to be very luxurious.

I made a reservation for afternoon tea. There was a special room for afternoon tea at the back of the regular cafe seating area, with a small number of seats and a calm atmosphere. The staff were attentive, coming to check on our drinks frequently and providing a lovely introduction to the menu with smiles. The food was delicious, and I had a great time! I would love to go back again!

Caramel chocolate cake, hot chocolate - delicious! The hot chocolate was sweet enough for kids to enjoy. I wish they had done latte art with a bear design. I always order the chocolate cake here, but this time I tried the seasonal menu caramel chocolate, and personally, I didn't like the caramel flavor much.

Positive: The chocolate cake is delicious! The hot chocolate is not too sweet and tasty (suitable for children). Some drinks come with latte art of polar bears. The flavored teas are also delicious. There are limited edition cakes available, making each visit enjoyable. Negative: The prices are generally high for items like cakes, one-pieces, cookies, and drinks. It is a one-drink minimum order policy. It is not possible to take leftovers home. The limited edition caramel chocolate cake was okay (should have stuck with the regular chocolate cake). There is no kids' menu.
