One of few places you can get a poutine here in Osaka. The owner is Canadian and it really nice! Cafe has some board games and a good selection of sandwiches. Deserts vary and there are other snacks available.

Super nice canadian owner, lots of vegan & vegetarian options available. Grilled cheese with tomato soup and the balsamic veggie sandwich were super tasty. Great atmosphere too!

We found the cafe while Googling for a brunch place nearby our hotel. We loved the ambience; cozy yet not cramped, and the Christmas decor had a really nice touch! Had a lovely chat with the owner and his wife while dining, went back for a second visit because we loved the place! The portion of grilled sandwiches were definitely worth for its price. Would recommend the grilled sandwich with gorgonzola cheese & Shimeiji mushrooms. Would definitely visit this cafe on my next trip to Osaka!

Been here 4 times over the 2 trips we made to Japan. Its has become a must-stop for us when we are visiting Japan. A mixture of Canadian and Japanese hospitality is an experience on itself. The food is great and well worth it. We will come back again to this awesome place!

It's a cozy little cafe serving a variety of food. There's also poutine, which isn't something you see often outside of Canada. I had the sandwich (ham) lunch set and it was quite delicious. It's definitely a nice place to have a meal.

What a beautiful family run cafe. The owners are lovely and the menu is varied and offers options for any palette including vegan options. From grilled cheese sandwiches to poutine to salad and homemade muffins and smoothie and drinks they have an impressive array of delicious food and you can tell that it’s a community place.

Super cool cafe. The poutine made me feel like I had a piece of home living in Osaka. Will definitely be back.
