FabCafe Kyoto opens in Gojo Kawaramachi on June 9!

FabCafe Kyoto opened on June 9, 2017 on 1F of the Creative Lounge in Gojo Kawaramachi, Kyoto “MTRL KYOTO“.
The counter facing the road has a coffee stand where you can get coffee to go, and you can eat snacks and sweets in the lounge and on the terrace. It has a uniquely Kyoto style menu, with delicious single origin coffee ordered from an up-and-coming roaster, Japanese tea, and craft beer brewed locally.
It was newly developed as a creative craft cafe, where customers can use the 3D printer and laser cutter (for a fee).

MTRL KYOTO was opened in December 2015 by Loftwork Inc. as a creative coworking establishment, with digital fabrication machines such as a 3D printer and laser cutter, and unique materials from both Japan and overseas. It is used by many people, such as creators and artisans, and tourists and locals, and has hosted over 150 creative events a year.
Until now, it has been run as a drop in style coworking establishment, but the company has started the new”FabCafe” brand of digital craft cafe, which is being developed in Shibuya, Hida, and worldwide, to respond to the desire for a more relaxed space, where one can sit and rest with a coffee or dessert.
FabCafe Kyoto and MTRL KYOTO are located in the Gojo area, which has recently flourished as a creative spot in Kyoto. With the space, a renovated 110 year old wooden building, and the characteristic materials and tools within, they aim to create a place with a mixture of tradition/reform and digital/analogue.
