Canelita Sweets — Restaurant in Osaka

I visited this afternoon with my mother. I am originally from the states and moved to Japan not too long ago. I occasionally crave American-like food. I got a carrot cake with soy latte, my mother had a banana cake with soy latte as well. We ate in so we went upstairs and as i started having the carrot cake, our latte had come to us and didn’t realize until more than half of the latte was gone, some type of lid? Or idk what it exactly was, but it was contamination. I immediately stopped drinking the soy latte bc I felt disgusted. My mother was surprised, and I was bit shocked. It started to get a bit busy in the cafe so it was good timing to leave. I decided to tell the manager? I think. “This was in the latte” and she apologized, I could’ve asked for the soy latte money back but, usually that’s something the cafe should do, not the customer. There was already a good amount of bystanders watching the scene so I thought that was enough for them. I chose not to say anything more, I could also just tell by her facial expressions she was wrong, and that was enough to me. Please be careful. Thank you for reading. Loved the carrot...

Canelita Sweets is a charming little vegan café. The shopfront, with its cheerful blue-and-white awning, gives off a cosy and welcoming vibe that immediately draws you in.

I ordered the flower power doughnut and an iced soy latte. The doughnut was not only adorable in its sakura-like shape, but also delicious – filled with a slightly tart berry jam that balanced beautifully with the sweet sugar glaze on top. The soy latte was smooth and refreshing, a nice pairing to the sweet treat.

There’s a loft-style seating area upstairs, where you can enjoy your food by a large window that frames a lovely view of Horie Park just across the road. It gives the space a calm and relaxing feel.

The staff were warm and friendly, and communication in English was no...

We had the Victoria sponge cake and the chocolate cupcake, both of which were gluten-free and delicious, especially the Victoria sponge. The sponge was slightly dense which I loved. My girlfriend isn't a fan of chocolate bakes, and has now been converted by the cupcake. We also had coffee which was skillfully prepared.

All of the cakes are vegan, too.

The café is small and cute. It also has seating upstairs which was a pleasant surprise. Even if there's no space in the café, there's a park across the street where you could sit and enjoy the goodies.

The staff were very polite and helpful.

The only downside was that there's no toilet.

Overall, we were very satisfied and would...
