Ourlog Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Osaka

We visited Ourlog Coffee Roasters for a late breakfast, and even at that hour, a modest line had formed — a testament to its reputation. The ordering process was easy and relaxed, and the café’s contemporary concrete-minimalist interior exuded a calm, design-forward ambiance that felt both curated and casual.

We ordered the matcha latte with espresso (a matcha-espresso fusion), which was visually stunning with its green base, dark crema layer, and a perfect float of microfoam. Taste-wise, it was exceptional — gently sweet with earthy matcha notes harmonizing with the bold espresso. Balanced, silky, and highly memorable.

The baked goods were equally impressive. The cinnamon roll was among the best I’ve had — fluffy yet substantial, swirled generously, with icing in every bite. Unlike many versions back home in Australia, this roll wasn’t overly dense or dry. It struck that elusive midpoint between indulgent and restrained.

The custard cream shiopan was a revelation. Wrapped in a crackly custard crust and filled with light, mildly sweet custard, each bite delivered crispness, creaminess, and richness in one. The texture contrast was sublime, and despite its richness, it never felt too heavy.

As a whole, Ourlog hits the mark for those seeking thoughtfully prepared coffee and baked goods in a beautifully designed space. A must-visit for café...

I’ve found it hard to get really good espresso in Osaka.

The pour-over/V60 is preferred, which is promising, but I’ve found the Japanese approach to coffee too subtle: only lighter roasts available, too little beans added- so it’s closer to tea. Sometimes I want to be kicked hard with my caffeine!

At Ourlog, I got an extra shot iced latte. It was divine. The coffee holds its own anywhere. The drink didn’t need the extra shot but I liked the strength. The whole experience was helped by the great music and classy industrial atmosphere. A first-class all round experience.

Nb. Humour yourself looking at the bad reviews for Ourlog. There’s no pleasing...

Visited this cafe after seeing the photos of the pastries and coffee on a Sunday afternoon. The coffee is good but i am so disappointed with the staff never mentioned the food item is sold out while I spent 40min in the queue. Only one bread was left when I got the seat ( which i was a party of 2). Who would spend 40min in a queue for just a coffee? ( the coffee is good but not worths 40min waiting ) I would just grab a coffee takeaway if I knew there was no...
