5 recommended coffee shops in Umeda, Osaka to relieve sightseeing fatigue

Hello, this is Okyo.

This time, I would like to introduce five coffee shops in the Umeda area of Osaka that I particularly recommend.

The Umeda area of Osaka is one of the busiest shopping areas in the Kansai region, yet it is also home to many charming coffee shops that will make you feel nostalgic.

The area is characterized by a wide variety of coffee shops, ranging from long-established, well-known stores tucked away among the buildings in front of the station, to pure coffee shops that convey a retro Showa-era atmosphere, to specialty cafes where you can enjoy authentic coffee and tea.

Walking through the streets of Umeda, you will find a space where you can relax and enjoy time in a way that is different from modern cafes.

When you step into a café, you will be greeted by a calm wood-grained interior, pleasant jazz and classical music, and the aroma of mellow coffee.

Each store has its own personality, and the coffee, sweets, and light meals served are also full of attention to detail.

From long-established, well-known coffee shops that have been loved for many years to hideaway spots that are loved by local regulars, you will find a wide variety of attractive coffee shops.

When you visit Umeda, be sure to find your favorite one and enjoy the coffee shop culture.







1. cafe arisa

Located a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Umeda, Cafe Arisa is a long-established coffee shop with an impressive stained-glass door.

When you open the door, you will find a nostalgic atmosphere with a classical interior.

The coffee, carefully brewed with nerd drip, is characterized by its deep, rich, and mellow flavor, making it a must for coffee lovers.

Although the store has many regular customers, it has an appealing at-home atmosphere that warmly welcomes even tourists.

It is the perfect place to spend a relaxing time in Umeda.

2. new Y.C. Umeda

With a history of over 50 years, New Y.C. Umeda has retained the atmosphere of an old-fashioned coffee shop.

Stepping into the store, you will be filled with a nostalgic aroma along with the warmth of the wooden interior.

The specialty recommendation is the “Tamago Sando,” a thick egg omelet sandwiched between two eggs.

The softly cooked egg and savory toast are a perfect match, and once you try it, you will never forget the taste.

The coffee is brewed using a siphon and is characterized by its aroma and refreshing aftertaste.

Open from 6:30 a.m., it is recommended for those who want to enjoy a morning coffee in Umeda or for those who want to enjoy a morning coffee before work.

It is a coffee shop where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and have a relaxing time.

3. coffee shop sunshine

Coffee Shop Sunshine, a long-established business of over 45 years, is a hideaway coffee shop located in the basement.

When you go down the stairs and open the door, you will find yourself in a retro Showa-era space that will make you feel as if you have stepped back in time.

We recommend the “thick pancakes.

The pancakes are cooked slowly on a copper plate, resulting in a savory surface and a fluffy texture inside.

The pancakes are made with butter that melts in your mouth, and a generous amount of maple syrup is poured over the pancakes to make your mouth water.

The morning service includes toast and boiled eggs for the price of a drink, making it an excellent value for money.

This is a place where you can spend a relaxing time while savoring the atmosphere of the Showa period.

4. coffee shop Spagnola

Coffee Shop Spagnola, located in the Umeda Ekimae Daisan Bldg. is a famous store that brings Showa-era coffee shop culture to the present.

In the retro atmosphere of the store, you can enjoy unique sweets along with deep-roasted coffee.

We recommend the Mont Blanc Toast.

A generous amount of Mont Blanc cream is lavishly squeezed over the toast, making it a perfect dish for those with a sweet tooth.

It goes perfectly with coffee, making it perfect for afternoon tea time.

The coffee is carefully brewed one cup at a time using flannel drip.

It has a full-bodied flavor and a mellow mouthfeel that is perfectly balanced with the sweets.

5. Akaneya Coffee Shop

Akaneya Coffee Shop is located in downtown Umeda, Osaka, but it is a quiet hideaway coffee shop that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Once you step into the store, you will feel a calm atmosphere with pleasant classical music playing in the background.

The interior is a warm space with antique furniture and the warmth of wood.

It provides a luxurious place to enjoy reading alone or relaxing conversation with friends or loved ones as quiet time flows by.

The coffee is carefully brewed using nerd drip, which brings out the true flavor of the beans, giving it a mellow and deep richness.

The “Akaneya Blend” in particular has a perfect harmony of firm bitterness and a hint of sweetness, and is best enjoyed black.

In addition, carefully selected single-origin beans are offered seasonally, creating a lineup that will satisfy even the most discerning coffee connoisseur.

In addition, there is a selection of exquisite sweets to be enjoyed with coffee, with the “rare cheese cake” and “custard pudding” being particularly recommended.

The rare cheese cake is characterized by the rich flavor of cream cheese and its refreshing aftertaste, which goes perfectly with the bitterness of coffee.

The custard pudding is also characterized by its hard texture and bittersweet caramel sauce, both of which go perfectly with coffee.

The restaurant is relatively quiet, so a visit is recommended, especially in the morning.

During these hours, you can savor coffee at a leisurely pace and immerse yourself in classical music for a peaceful experience.

In the afternoon, the place becomes a bit busier with regulars and tourists, but it is still pleasantly lively and the perfect time to enjoy conversation with friends.

This café is perfect for those who want to get away from their busy lives and enjoy a luxurious moment in a quiet space.

It is a special place where you can cherish your own time while enjoying fine coffee and sweets amidst classical music.
