Our group came here for breakfast almost every day during our time in Osaka. The owner was so lovely and welcoming! I loved chatting with her about sakura blooms, things to do in Osaka, and the rest of our travel plans. For food, the blueberry bagel, eggs (perfectly boiled), yogurt, and toast all come highly recommended. I especially enjoyed the caramel latte, but the regular cafe latte also came with adorable koala latte art. Definitely among the most memorable breakfasts from our entire trip!

Cafe Kobina is such a cute spot! The shop has a warm, cozy vibe with charming interior decorations that make it feel really welcoming. I tried the Matcha Granola, Pizza Toast, and a cafe latte – all were delicious. The granola was fresh with a nice matcha flavor, the pizza toast was tasty and comforting, and the latte was smooth, well-made and had a cute latte art to top it off. A great place to relax and enjoy some good food and coffee!

A must try when visiting Osaka! An absolutely beautiful cafe with exquisite coffee and food. A cleverly curated fusion of Japan and Australia. The service is very warm and welcoming with a lovely family vibe. Cannot recommend this beautiful place enough! We will definitely return when back in Japan one day.

A chance but gem of a find! Pictures don’t do justice to the food and the place. Loved the relaxed atmosphere and music. Food and drinks were lovingly prepared and had a homemade taste to them. Great for a slow morning :) Ordered their matcha latte, pizza toastie and shokupan toast (more food ordered but not pictured) and all were good!!

Fantastic serene spot to escape the hectic surrounding busy city. Matcha badque cheesecake was delicious, and the drinks were incredibly refreshing in the summer heat!

Little coffee shop with simple but nice coffee and breakfast menu. The owner was so friendly and welcome us warmly. I went there with my husband & father in law for breakfast during our holiday last November. We had latte, cappuccinos, croissant & blueberry cheese bagel and they were delicious! Then we went back there again the next day since it was our last day in Osaka, but too bad seems they were closed that day (we left after waiting for 30mins past the opening hour since we have to catch up our train to Tokyo). Hopefully we can go back to this place again when we visit Osaka in the future! :)

Walking into this little coffee shop felt like getting a hug in a mug. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was wrapped in the comforting smell of freshly ground beans and something sweet baking in the back. The staff (I think mother & daughter) greeted me like an old friend, with genuine smiles and that lovely unhurried vibe you only get in places that really care. I ordered two Flat White (Yes, yes they knew what it was ) both were absolutely spot-on. The coffee was smooth and rich with just the right balance, You can tell they put heart into what they do here. The space itself is cosy without feeling cramped. Soft music, wooden tables, a little shelf of retail items—it’s the kind of place you want to settle into and forget what time it is. Whether you're catching up with a friend or just taking a breather from the world, this café feels like a pause button in the best possible way. Highly recommend if you’re looking for more than just a caffeine fix. This place is soul-warming.

Being from Melbourne, I’m not joking when I say the food here rivals some of the best Melbourne cafes. Coffee also great! Highly recommend!
