A must visit if you love your coffee. I am a Melbourne coffee snob and for me to review this and liken it to Melbourne coffee says it all! The iced coffee drip is soooo good and I was even asked my preference of beans because there were 4 different options. Owner is so friendly and helpful and even took a photo with us!

Nice little cafe that makes a great matcha latte! We had a hot one and loved how much matcha they put in it. Very friendly staff that speaks English, too. We could pay by credit card and sit outside. Highly recommend for this area!

Amazing place to grab a coffee and chill after or before visiting Osaka Castle. Excellent service and craft cola that’s an owner invention. We also took delicious iced matcha - perfect to cool yourself down during hot, humid days. As a tourist you can also benefit free WiFi here which I find really convenient.

Enjoyed great specialty coffee in the Osaka Castle Park. Turner who owns the shop (and won the world barista championship in Chicago 10 years ago!) was very friendly and made flat whites with Ethiopia beans especially for us. They also have various pour over options. Definitely highly recommend!

The caramel latte and vanilla latte are both very delicious. You can come here to rest after visiting Osaka Castle. The outdoor location is cute and comfortable!
