“During my time in Osaka, I found this to be one of the best cafés in the city. The French toast and sandwiches are absolutely delicious, and the drinks are just as amazing! What really sets this place apart is the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the manager is especially hospitable and kind, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended

Very nice café with a small but appealing menu from sweet to savoury, everything looks very good. I passed by on the way to the castle and stopped in again on the way back. The ambience is pleasant, the staff are very friendly. Very pleasant restaurant.

Staff was very friendly and accomodating, especially since I could not speak Japanese. There was an outlet to do work on your laptop. Food was a great deal, 800 yen for cheesecake and a cup of coffee. Would love to come back.
