About
Iwata Coffee opened after the war and is one of Kamakura's best-known coffee shops. Its tall hotcakes take time to cook and often sell out, so many people put their name down on arrival. The garden-facing room keeps a quiet Showa-era atmosphere.
Highlights
- Thick hotcakes cooked to order
- Showa-era coffee shop interior
- Right by Kamakura Station
Tips
- Hotcakes take about 30 minutes; register on the waiting list on arrival
