Located inside a hotel, this restaurant was a calm place where I could relax and take my time. The roast beef Omurice was delicious, with a lightly seasoned cream sauce that let the flavor of the meat come through. The pancakes were also tasty, and the caramelized bananas were great too. The pancakes seemed to have cheese inside, which made them really good.

I ordered the pancakes, and it turned out to be absolutely the right choice！！As someone from the pancake generation (?), I’ve been to all kinds of places, but these were the best I’ve ever had! The batter had a rich flavor, and butter alone was enough. It seemed like yogurt or cream cheese, or something like that, was mixed into the batter... Really so good! I want to eat them again! This is a cafe I truly recommend.

The "Sambazon-sei Acai Bowl (Sambazon-made acai bowl)" is topped with banana and seasonal fruit. Made with nutrient-rich acai, it is a dish that suits an adult cafe time.
The crunchy texture of the house-made granola seems to add a nice accent.

So good! Addictive. The vegetables are fresh! The bread is sourdough, with a rich wheat flavor and it tastes amazing! The eggs are rich with plenty of butter! The coffee is from a specialty shop too, with a fruity flavor you will not find elsewhere.

・Morita-en (Morita Garden) Parfait Matcha
It was so comfortable that I came back again (*^^*) The afternoon tea was great too, but I was too curious about the other menu items (lol), so this time I stopped by after lunch and had a parfait♪ Inside, it was packed with lots of different textures and flavors, and it was super satisfying. I feel like I’ll definitely stop by whenever I go to Namba (Osaka’s Namba area).

・Cha-fternoon Tea (R) Set
The afternoon tea menu was very good, and I was satisfied because each sweet and dish had a rich matcha (green tea) flavor! I was hungry before I started eating, but it was filling enough to leave me very full!

The pancake batter is on the thick side, and it's said to be more filling than you might expect. One bite of the pancakes brings out the flavor and richness of milk.
The menu also includes Japanese inspired pancakes like the matcha (green tea) and mascarpone cream pancakes, as well as savory pancakes with a nice salty kick.

It seems the pancakes are carefully cooked one by one after each order comes in, with a nicely browned and fragrant outside and a soft, springy texture inside.

There were also a few terrace seats, which gave the place a nice atmosphere. I ordered the salmon and ricotta cheese pancakes! The pancakes were soft and chewy, really satisfying, and very delicious! The salmon and cheese went really well together◎I wondered if it would be enough, but one plate was actually very filling! Next time, I’d like to try one of the dessert pancakes too.

The sweets are packed with the pastry chef’s care and attention. The Basque cheesecake is rich, and of course it goes perfectly with the crème brûlée. Next time I’m going back for the French toast!! This place is definitely a favorite✨

I love cheesecake, and the Basque cheesecake here was especially unbelievably good!! On my first visit, I had their most popular item, the brulee Basque cheesecake. The surface was torched until perfectly crisp, and the inside was meltingly smooth and absolutely delicious.

Cafe time also seems like a good chance to recharge with sweet desserts and coffee.
They offer cakes and doughnuts such as the "Classic Gateau Chocolat," and the ILLY Coffee Jelly topped with vanilla ice cream is also recommended.

The pizza was also freshly made and crispy, with melty cheese. It was delicious. It felt like relaxing comfortably on a sofa in a hotel. The drinks were also easy on the wallet, and it made for a nice little refresh♪

・Furu Puru Pancakes
The pancakes were caramelized, so I got to enjoy both the creamy part and the crisp part. The batter was so soft it felt like you could drink it, so it fell apart instead of cutting cleanly. (It ended up looking pretty tragic... lol) Looks aside, it really was furu puru.

Served on silverware with whipped cream and a bright red syrup soaked cherry. The classic look is great! It was literally very firm, and that was perfect (*´-`)

Really convenient for anyone using the Nankai Dentetsu (Nankai Electric Railway).• The atmosphere is stylish and relaxing: For a Pronto, the interior feels modern, and the ceiling also seems a bit high. The background music playing is quiet too, and it does not feel noisy, so it is perfect when you want to focus on work or relax and chat with friends.

The "Okome de Ice" uses no milk, eggs, or additives. It is made with homemade rice milk using rice as the main ingredient.
The flavor has only a mild rice note, with a rich body and a light sweetness.

The menu is lined with financiers, breads, and bagels made with komeko (rice flour).
If you want to keep your meal light, the top pick is the food menu that comes with a gentle soup and a drink.
谷 九子
The komeko (rice flour) financier was so good that the other komeko sweets looked tasty too. The ice cream is made without milk, eggs, or additives, so I’m happy to find sweets that are gentle on the body. It also looks like they have light meals such as soup, quiche, and komeko bread.

・Rice Ice Cream
The ice cream made from rice had a nice gentle sweetness and tasted great. The maple sugar had a mild maple flavor. It melted on the tongue and tasted great. The kin-goma (golden sesame) had a very strong sesame flavor. I think people who love sesame would really like this ice cream.
