Lonely Planet review for Café Carinho

This excellent little café near Ginkaku-ji is one of the only places in town where you can find proper bagel sandwiches. It also serves daily specials, light meals and excellent tea and coffee (from ¥400). There is wi-fi for those with laptops. The owner speaks English and Portuguese, which makes ordering a breeze. All told, this is one of the best spots in the neighbourhood for a drink or meal.

    Doesn't exist anymore

    franksvalli does not recommend this,

    Don't waste your time looking for this place, as it doesn't exist anymore. Looks like this listing hasn't been confirmed for over a year. In any case, I wasted a lot of time trying to track this down, then came home and tried to track it down on Google Street View.

    It's the two story brick building, where there's currently a restaurant called Yoshida. You can check it out for yourself on street view and compare it with this old picture of the front of the Cafe Carinho restaurant: http://homepage3.nifty.com/shopnavi/img/0404-07.jpg

    Couldn't find it

    anaidknrdt does not recommend this,

    After spending over an hour riding around the area where Cafe Carinho is supposed to be, I gave up. It's just nowhere to be found.
