Bear Paw Cafe — Restaurant in Osaka

It was thankfully quite a slow day when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to walk up to the window and order immediately. Despite being a foreigner, it was still easy to navigate the menu and show the server what I wanted to order. Was such an adorable experience to be handed our order through the hole with the bear paw! This was a non-negotiable visit for me, considering their business concept. The fact you give this opportunity to earn a living to your employees who suffer as they do, I honestly admire you so much. People with mental health struggles like myself don’t get many opportunities like that. So, thank you. The inside seating area was so beautiful too! We loved staying for a while to enjoy our drinks...

I'm usually very picky when it comes to cafes and eateries. But oh my goodness, when I say there's cafe is the best cafe in Osaka, I mean it! The matcha parfait was beautiful. Quite sweet but the matcha flavour came through so strongly. The atmosphere was very cute and comforting. It really makes you feel like you found a little nook in the middle of a fairy tale story. It's very unique with the bear hand service and it really adds a cute experience when receiving your order. Don't forget to check out the seating area around the corner where you can buy a souvenirs and little goodies. Would highly recommend this as a must-see on your Osaka itinerary. I will definitely be coming...

We stopped by the adorable Bear Paw Cafe and couldn’t resist trying one of their parfaits—and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. Everything from the presentation to the taste felt like it was made with extra care (and maybe even a little love from a bear paw 🐻💕).

Just a heads-up: this isn’t a grab-and-go kind of place. They take their time crafting each order, so if you’re in a hurry, it might not be ideal. But if you’ve got a moment to slow down and soak in the cozy vibe, you’re in for a real treat.

A charming spot with serious dessert game—definitely pop by if you’re in the area and craving something sweet...
