Tasty parfait and matcha cakes- milk shakes aren't like western milkshakes I'm used to in Australia but are sooooo much better

Puzzled as to this place’s high review. Came here off the back of the high rating. The matcha cake tastes like soap and all the cakes look balls compared to the menu pictures. There’s a 100 better coffee shops in Osaka. Skip it.

Super retro Japanese style “Kissa-ten (cafeteria). Great antique designs, coffee and traditional “hot cake (pancakes) is simple and the best. Reasonable and nice place to rest and refresh.

The coffee is excellent. Hot, strong, not bitter.We usually teamed it with the hotcakes, also excellent, fluffy inside with a slight crunch/crust.Delicious. 5 stars.

The food is too expensive for what they give. It would be understandable if the food tasted amazing, but it's not really worth it.But worst of all and what drove down my score, was the cashier lady. She is very rude. Even if there are free tables and there is absolutely nobody waiting, you will get kicked out whenever you have exceeded whatever time she considers "acceptable" without warning. Judging by other reviews of this place, she seems to be rude in general to various people. I'm very sorry for the rest of the staff, because everyone else seems to be giving their best possible service.Do not waste your time or money in here.

Inside the store with a large depth. Fresh flowers are also displayed and it is gorgeous.The dustiness unique to old shops and the flying flyThere is no such thing at all.The classics are flowing and the atmosphere is elegant.Showa with sophisticated staff and cashiers.I ordered mixed juice. (720 yen)I was wondering if something different arrived in pinkThe clerk called it "mixed juice."The slip had the word "juice" written on it.A mixed juice with no ice and foam.Various mixed juices depending on the shopThere is something. I am a slightly sweet and rich AmericanI really like mixed juice.

In a weird craving for pancakes, we ended up at this cafe. The pancakes themselves were fantastic. Fluffy and rich, and absolutely loaded with butter.The space is beautiful too - there's a stunning chandelier as you walk in and the decor is very retro. There are stories about the staff getting upset if you try and take a picture so be careful - I grabbed one on my way out, so I can't say if they were mad.Price is a bit high, and there is smoking everywhere. Be warned.

It was really goodIn the atmosphere of the early Showa era, the vase that the tulip points to is interesting! ! There are various paintings and electric lights that I have never seen, the shop uniforms are black and white classical, the music is neoclassical, and the fashionable and pancakes are also delicious. Was! The blended coffee has a rather strong taste. If I drink too much, I'm going to get hungry, so I made only one cup. The name of the restaurant is American but it's dark, but it's a new kind of fun (* '* `) ❤️I bought a pudding as a souvenir. I haven't eaten yet. I want to go again (➰ ヽ ω `) ノ

First of all this isn’t the best place for tourist.And isn’t meant for tourists either.I find japanese people are very nostalgic. Every detail of this restaurant reminds me of Showa era. The taste, the decorations, the uniforms and even the old lady at cashier (not very friendly but very Osaka lol)So if you are looking for something « modern », you will be disappointed.But if you like to see how Japanese cafe looked like in Showa era, I would definitely recommend this place.

The old lady cashier in the restaurant was very disrespectful to my wife. She asked if she could use the restaurant's bathroom, but the old lady said to her "No, Get Out"! My wife even asked her again if it would be ok to use the restroom if we bought something. The old lady shouted again "Get Out". If they are this rude to tourist, they should close this place ASAP. This place has no place in a very polite country like Japan. And I hope someone fire that lady who disrespected my wife. I recommend this place to NO ONE and I hear the food is not good and overpriced, and also allows smokers so please do not go to this place.

A parlour of bygone glamour unabashedly kitsch in its Art Deco saturated interior. This of course, is the reason to visit. A heavy dose of nostalgia permeates this cafe and if you didn't have your flashy iPhone 7, you might be inclined to telegram a friend and suggest a rendezvous. Don't expect mind blowing coffee or exceptional food, this is a kissaten after all and not a third wave hipster haven. Instead, light a cigarette, soak up the retro charm and try to fit your knees under the incredibly small tables. I dare you.

A Lynchian time capsule of an restaurant, this place is definitely worth it for the experience alone, but don't expect traditional American diner fare. The ham and egg toast was oddly perfect, if a little dry, but the hot cakes come with about one fluid ounce of simple syrup (rather than maple syrup) and the coffee is amazingly bad. Just know what you're getting into and it will be incredible.

Fantastic elaborate Showa kisatten coffee shop. A truly marvelous place to take a moment. Delicious Japanese style coffee and drinks delicious cakes and sweets. Only disappointed was hotcakes are served with gum syrup rather than maple syrup. Simply a delight to attend. I highly recommend taking in a peaceful moment here in the midst of the ultra busyness of the Dotonbori shopping district

Rude cashier lady! We took a photo of the stairs and she shouted “No! No!” How embarassing! She could have politely asked us like every other Japanese. Anyway, Mediocre food and way overpriced! We only ordered pancake, coffee and orange juice and it cost us 1700yen. Osaka is a huge food haven, save yourself the time, money and calories by skipping this one.

I always use hot cakes because they are very delicious. The attitude of a female clerk who had a characteristic voice that touched her nose when I went to the second floor after a long absence was very unpleasant.I know that it's a busy time, but I can hear all the voices talking to the kitchen, such as "I can call everyone ~" or "What number do I get after ordering ..." As an extra work on each table side by side The feeling of asking "Are you using an ashtray?"

A cafe in Namba Sennichimae, where you can see the old-fashioned pure café. We went there in the afternoon on the weekend of July, but the seats were about half empty due to the influence of corona. I was interested in the 2nd floor, but was guided to the 1st floor. It may be used properly depending on the congestion. By the way, all the seats are non-smoking.The menu was abundant and I was at a loss, but I ordered a pancake set and cake set. The glass also had a retro feel. Please note that gum syrup is similar to pancake syrup.It may be a good place to enjoy a nostalgic atmosphere and a relaxing feeling.

Be sure to visit once a month. You can enjoy the essence of a coffee shop at Showa Retro. The clerk's uniform is also retro. All are delicious. Famous store.
