City Bakery Nakanoshima Festival Plaza — Restaurant in Osaka

City Bakery is a great place to meet up with friends and have a nice catchup over lunch. The food is consistently good and there is always plenty of space in the large eat-in area. I have been many times and have never had to worry about finding a seat. The only criticism I have is that while I understand the policy of the customer returning their tray after the meal, no staff member comes around regularly to wipe the tables down. I usually have my own wipes in my bag but I don’t like that every time I have visited, I have had to wipe other people’s crumbs off the table. And I’m not talking like I want a particular table and it just happens to be dirty, I mean most of the empty tables have crumbs on them so it’s obvious that no one has come around to wipe them. I like the food and the service staff here a lot so I will keep being a customer, but please take my feedback into consideration and wipe the tables down more...

Considering it costs ¥820, I thought the portion was rather small.

So my overall rating is just 3* Saying that, they do have a variety of baked goods which I...
