The food here was very delicious, and the cafe was cute and cozy. The owners are very kind and welcoming, and my friends and I looked forward to eating here in the mornings. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the food was made with care. I would love to come back again if I'm ever in the area!

Cozy coffee in Osaka City, where you can sit inside on nice chairs or get your beverage as takeaway. The coffee has oat as well as almond milk, and the coffee tasted quite good. The lady was really friendly and helped us with the ordering - given the language barrier.

Very nice people and really good coffee. We sat for a while and chatted. Very relaxing and enjoyable. We are Australian and have had trouble finding a good coffee shop with quality coffee. Don't miss out on this one. Very good

Stayed at an AirBnb next to this cafe, so it was conveniently close for us. Breakfast here was really delicious and something we looked forward to in the morning. The owners, a couple, were also very nice to us even though we were foreigners visitng. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone in the area.

Quite cozy and fancy little coffee shop right on the corner street the service is very nice I must say. I parked my bike outside the shop to have a coffee as it was drizzling out and when I was about to leave the owner came with a towel and asked if this will help to wipe the bike before I ride. Was very impressive.

A wonderfully cosy cafe serving delicious coffee, toast and sandwiches. I got the Strawberry Parfait (and was told the strawberry jam is actually homemade ), it was outstanding. The owner is incredibly friendly and very attentive, I will definitely come back! ~English menu available~

Short review: -food was in perfect just-right portion -had great conversation with owner couple despite language barrier -coffee was delicious and warmed our hearts Longer version: Sunday morning rain, quiet streets near Dotonbori, felt like a void in the second largest city in the country under the grey cloudy sky. At the corner, saw lights coming out of a rather dim surrounding, across from a brutalism apartment creating a strong contrast. We walked in, part due to the smell of coffee, part to escape the pouring rain. Two customers already enjoying their meal in the corner table, we were greeted by a lady, and the gent sat behind the counter. Sat by the glass sliding doors, we spectated the bicyclists with no umbrella and the busy deliveryman in front row seats. The lady asked us where we from, using a translator device, struck off a lengthy conversation with more understanding between the 4 of us. Before we left, the gent decided to gift us 2 pieces of doughnuts and told us we could take an extra umbrella from the front. We parted with them standing at the door, waving goodbye. Sky continues to rain, but the warmth of the café stays with us
