Osaka

Planet 3rd is a cute, hip little café within the Hearton hotel which showcases some cool decor in a nice, light atmosphere. They serve a full American breakfast between 7am and noon and have free internet access.

You can find the French Bistro Rue d’Or at the exquisite 5-star St. Regis hotel. Here you can enjoy a tasty croissant with a café au lait in the morning or a larger meal later in the day accompanied by a glass of red all the way from France. There is even a new selection of homemade ice creams and sorbets on offer that have been expertly crafted by the in-house deserts specialist.

Everyone has wished or at least wondered what is like to be a Ninja at some point in their life. At the Ninja Experience Cafe Osaka Dotonbori, the dream comes to life! This cafe is great for kids of all ages and grown ups are sure to join in with the exciting ninjitsu lessons where students learn how to use ancient Japanese weapons and techniques whilst dressed up as ninjas. There are several options available for groups and individual families including set menus and drinks packages.

Praised as one of the best coffees that you can find in Osaka, the coffee beans at LiLo Coffee Roasters can be enjoyed in one of the three branches throughout the city or you can take them home to have whenever the mood strikes. Load up the cup with milk and sugar for an unfathomably frothy cappuccino or savour the delicate roasted notes by brewing LiLo's carefully selected coffees black as is.

This Aussie style cafe away from the centre of Osaka is worth the pilgrimage if you are into large quantities of eggs, bacon, avocados and tomatoes. There are of course other options available at Melbourne Coffee, Craft & Cider as the name would suggest. The cider and the coffee here comes in from down under and the fresh local produce used to fill up their freshly made toasties is clearly of a very high quality.

At Micasadeco & Cafe Osaka visitors can indulge in mouthwatering Japanese soufflé pancakes that are a favourite amongst tourists and locals alike. The brunch menu here is vast but if you are into pancakes, look no further. Sweet, savoury, stuffed with cheese, doused in coconut custard...the options are endless.
