Taiyō No Tou Main Store — Restaurant in Osaka

So much potential and a nice place to chill but coffee, tea, and sweets/cakes were disappointing. AVOID the scones they’re like solid biscuits that erupted in trying to cut them haha but no in all seriousness they are not good - same with their cookies. We got a walnut and cinnamon cake which was banging (hence the not one star) but coffee was very mild and served room temp when ordered hot. Tea was served in a pot pre-brewed with only half of the small pot full - not sure why. This was a confusing place and not one we’d...

Homey feel café to sit and chat but drinks are too expensive (600-800yen) for basic coffee, latte, chocolate drinks, etc. They also require each guest to purchase a drink. Ordered strawberry shortcake and cheesecake which I preferred more than the drinks but nothing spectacular either. I think it's a nice spot to chat and stay (which we needed after a long walk) but I wouldn't go for the drinks...

Very much still a hipster-esque place to go, a lot quieter than other parts of Osaka especially in the evening.

The atmosphere is nice, pretty representative of the vibe Nakazakicho is know for. Price wise, maybe the rest of Japan caught up or they got cheaper, but it's pretty comparable for coffee/drinks in any similar establishment nowadays.

Worth a stop if...
