The Coffee Market — Restaurant in Osaka

The morning we arrived, the scent of freshly roasted beans greeted us like an old friend. It wasn’t just breakfast—it felt like stepping into someone’s quiet ritual. Wooden shelves lined with handmade cookies and bags of beans, sunlight spilling through the windows, and the low hum of calm conversations.

We ordered a latte and caramel macchiato—both warm, rich, balanced. Nothing fancy, just brewed with care. The cakes were a gentle delight: the roasted strawberry tart was fresh and tender, the banana caramel soft and fragrant, never too sweet.

The cake sets are equally delicious and you get a 150yen discount off the drink.We had the banana caramel cake, the roasted strawberry tart, and the fruit tart. Everything was fresh and not too sweet at all. In this sleepy neighborhood, every table was busy through the...

A diamond in the rough of a bland area, this is a well-laid out and light cafe with a good deep menu. We will be back to try the savouries and fruit juices but we had fruit soda-infused espressos which were flavorful and refreshing for a hot summer afternoon, and a couple of well-made and -served cakes. Will be working through the rest of that cake cabinet too 😉

Worth the walk down from Tennoji - a significant cut above the chain cafes that...
