Quiet and chill cafe. The coffee is out of this world and the sandwiches are the best. I really recommend the avocado chicken sandwich.

BEST COFFEE! It has a homey feel about it. The menu is simple and delicious. Tried everything on it and it's all good! I recommend the herb chicken and avocado sandwich. The coffee is its specialty. Haven't had coffee like this anywhere else in Osaka. You can choose the origin, blend and roast(City/French) from various countries from around the world.

I had a delicious drip coffee one day, and a solid Americano another day. It does seem that drip coffee is the typical focus across Japan, I would recommend sticking with that. They have several options for beans when you order a drip coffee, and takeaway is available in the medium size. They also have a small selection of coffee making equipment, and beans for sale. The older folks running this place are very kind and inviting. I would definitely recommend it to any coffee lovers in the Sakai station area.

Great toasts and sandwiches, as well as a good selection of speciality coffee, including a Yemenia. The city roast Yemen was a bit too dark for my taste but it was very good and well brewed.

Nice little roastery with really good food options. We had Toasts, they were prepared on the spot and really good. Preparations of the food takes some time, but it's totally worth it. Good Coffee too!
