Affordable and Fresh!

Came here the morning after a late night out just prior to leaving osaka - bowls were fresh and felt healthy which is what we needed… plus very affordable (approx. $20 for two medium bowls and two lattes) did love that they had a few vegan dressings to choose from!

Pros: Quick, Affordable

Cons: Space was nice but not my favorite vibe

Pleasantly surprised

We randomly popped into this café in the morning when most other options were closed in the Osaka area we were in (near the vintage shopping strip).

I was hoping to have the avocado toast, but they only offer it as a set, and the other piece of toast included fish. Instead, I tried the Shiori Salad Bowl with tofu, sweet potato, burdock, lotus root, and okra—and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was!

The coffee (soy latte) was some of the best we had in Japan, and that’s coming from a Melbourne coffee snob! The staff were also really friendly, which made the experience even better.

Pros: Great coffee

Cons: Would love to see more vegan options

Limited options?

Although there are multiple vegan dressing options, the staff told me only one of the salads were vegan. So I ordered that one. It was pretty nice, and definitely felt healthy, but not something I'll rush back to get again. Well worth stopping by if you're in the area and need a feed.

I ordered a bowl the other day and it came with a cute handwritten note :)

Healthy Salads

This cafe serves a variety of salads with some vegetarian toast options as well. I liked the "Olivia" salad with kale, quinoa, beets, purple cabbage, legumes, and the fruit veggie dressing. Expect to pay ~ 1500 yen for light meal.

Pros: Sometimes the only healthy option open nearby, Salads contain lots of great veggies

Cons: Outrageously overpriced, Small portions; not full meals , Dressings aren’t house-made
