Café along the river on Nakanoshima. I found this café by chance right after crossing the river from the Central Public Hall. I ordered a café latte and cookie ice cream. Even though it was lunchtime, they also serve alcohol. The seats were spacious and there was a terrace where you could overlook the river, but we chose to sit inside to cool off. We shared the cookie ice cream between two people, but it was still satisfying! The latte was also delicious ☺️

It was sunny so we ate on the terrace! The view was great, we waved to tourists on boats and could see lots of scenery around us. It was a wonderful place! Next time, I want to try the sandwich too! (Be careful if you don't like pigeons walking on the tables... haha)

Riverside cafe located in Kitahama. The number of seats is relatively large, so there doesn't seem to be much of a wait. Eating a meal in front of the Tosabori River really added to the atmosphere and was amazing. The terrace seats by the riverside have a great view, making it easy to get caught up and end up staying longer. Pigeons were wandering around, and someone had their meal stolen when they looked away...

The weather was nice, so it felt good! I wanted to eat cake but it was sold out, so I got something like a butter sandwich instead. The atmosphere was nice, but pigeons kept trying to steal food, coming really close, and there was poop on the table, so make sure to check before sitting down!

I had tea at "& Island" before a lecture at Osaka City Central Public Hall. It is located right in the middle of Yodoyabashi Station and Kitahama Station. During this season, the cafe near Kitahama Station with a rose garden was crowded even on weekdays, but surprisingly, it was not as busy around here. You order at the entrance and carry your drink inside. There are seats inside, but if you pass through the shop, there is a terrace seat along the river. I could see Osaka City Central Public Hall, where I was heading next, right in front of me. The weather was nice, so it was a really pleasant space. (Be careful as pigeons and sparrows sometimes come by!) You can enjoy lunch to dinner, and they have a wide variety of drinks. It was a hot day, so I chose a cold frozen drink. I had the Bayberry for ¥770. My friend, who had entered a little earlier than me, chose the matcha flavor. The Bayberry is filled with jam and topped with a crunchy frozen drink, very delicious. The whipped cream is generous (which is optional), and the edible flower petals flutter, very girly ♡ The cute little sour yamamomo on top is also adorable. However, everyone around me was young.

And Island in Nakanoshima, Osaka ^ ^ My friend wanted to go there, so I went after a long time ☺︎ I arrived around 2 pm, so there were still some empty seats inside the restaurant! The view along the river was nice, but for now, I sat on the sofa ☺︎ haha Today, I ordered the following menu: ISLAND's famous Roast Beef Bowl for 1150 yen. It's the famous Roast Beef Bowl ^ ^ It comes with salad and fried potatoes, making it a very good value lunch set. It looks cute, tastes delicious, and the portion size is quite generous, so I think it's the best cost performance! It was very delicious! Thank you for the meal!

A friend wanted to go to a trendy riverside cafe in Kitahama! So we decided to go early on the weekend, but there was already a line forming. We managed to get an outdoor riverside table. We had to order at the counter near the entrance. The line was so long that we had to wait for everyone to calm down before ordering. I decided to go for the Instagram-worthy sandwich. I chose the Roughly Tacos for 1150 yen and an iced tea for 150 yen. The sandwich was thick and looked amazing with spicy pork, tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce. The set also came with potato fries, lettuce, and a thin tomato soup. The atmosphere was great and it was nice to enjoy the outdoors. Overall, it was a good experience.

Dogs are allowed on the terrace. Until 2 PM, they also serve light snacks like sandwiches. I happened to visit at 3 PM, so they only had cakes and sweets. Oh well, I guess I'll just have a beer! 😆🍺

The terrace seats had a nice view so I chose to sit here. It was a bit difficult to eat because of the strong wind that day, but the scenery was nice. I'm okay with it, but some people were surprised because pigeons were walking around in front of us. The food was delicious with plenty of vegetables.

I used it for the first time. I thought I would relax and have some tea by the river. You order at the counter and then pick up your order and sit down. It was around 3 pm on Saturday, so it felt quite crowded. I ordered tea and cake, and sat on the terrace along the river. The view was nice and I thought I could relax, but the pigeons were persistent and kept bothering me. They wouldn't leave even when I shooed them away. So annoying! They even pecked at my cake when I was drinking my tea. And to make it worse, I spilled the tea on my clothes. It was the worst. I would recommend it if only the pigeons weren't there.

It's nice by the river and the prices are reasonable. It had been a long time since I last came, but it was nice to be able to relax. However, since it's outdoors, if you're bothered by birds or dirt, you might be better off relaxing indoors. Personally, I like this place where I can relax while looking at the river. ✨

This is a shop with a fantastic view of the riverside. I used it as a cafe in the afternoon. The tables on the terrace show some signs of deterioration from rain and wind, but it's nice to have a view of the Central Public Hall right in front of you on a sunny day. The tart was delicious too.

&ISLAND Osaka/Kitahama□Mango□Mixed Red BerryI bought a frozen drink while waiting in line in the previous post and it was delicious. It was a bit hot that day even though it was before summer, so the frozen drink was refreshing. I got it to go on that day, but the inside of the store and the terrace along the river looked nice too. The lunch box also looked delicious! ✨

Yodoyabashi and Kitahama's right in the middle "＆ Island". Today is cloudy and the wind feels nice. At times like this, I want to relax at a cafe along the river. It's too hot even in the shade in the summer. I entered the shop and the terrace was available, so I reserved a seat with my belongings, ordered and received it at the entrance counter. ★ Fancy Nation 550 yen including tax. I've walked quite a bit, so I want a carbonated drink. A cute drink arrived. It's a bit embarrassing. It has flower petals along with berries and strawberries. All the girls in their 20s are taking selfies, but I'm not that age so I only took a picture of the drink. It looks pretty good. The taste is... the carbonation is weak, it's sweet and not sweet in some parts, well, that's about it. More than half of the price is for the location. It's great to see the Nakanoshima Public Hall in front of me. It's refreshing and cloudy, so I relaxed for about an hour. The sun came out and started to shine, so I left. The terrace seats have counter and bench seats.

On a nice day, I went to &Island in Kitahama for lunch. The sandwich was very filling, and it came with potatoes, soup, and a drink. The terrace seats along the river are perfect for this time of year. It gets crowded, so try going a little early.

My dad suddenly showed up and we decided to go out for lunch together. It was warm and sunny today, so there were a lot of people near Nakanoshima. We ended up going to "& Island" along the river, which seemed to be predetermined. Lately, the riverside restaurants are popular among young people. The terrace seats were all full. I had a shrimp cutlet sandwich and iced tea, while my dad, who is on a diet, had a Cobb salad and iced coffee. It wasn't cheap, but compared to Kitahama prices, it was reasonable. It took a while for the food to come out, but the portions exceeded our expectations. The crispy shrimp cutlet with plenty of vegetables was delicious and satisfying. The minestrone soup was also tasty and comforting. Sometimes, it's necessary to have this kind of time with family. Thanks for the treat, dad! ✩⃛( ͒ •·̫• ͒)

I had the roast beef bowl lunch set, which I had visited a month ago, so it was nice to spend time on the terrace~ The weather was good and the view was amazing ♡ I really love Kitahama!!!! The terrace here is usually shaded, so it doesn't get too hot! The photos tend to be backlit~ I was also interested in the mackerel sandwich, but the roast beef flavor may be just average! LOL But it was a wonderful space ✨

A cafe located by the riverside in Kitahama. It has a stylish atmosphere and the drinks and sweets look delicious. The S'mores Cocoa is a warm cocoa topped with toasted marshmallows. The marshmallows are surprisingly large, American-sized. It's a sweet and warming drink.

I stopped by a charming cafe on Nakanoshima on my way back from Chinatown! The atmosphere was great, and I was surprised at how cheap the coffee was! It's a wonderful place~♫ I think 385 yen for a cup is a great deal considering the ambiance and space. I had a fantastic time enjoying the cozy night cafe. I highly recommend this cafe on Nakanoshima! Thank you for the meal!

[September 18, 2021] During the break between the 20th and 21st performances of the final day of the To Osaka Classic, I took a stroll around the area. I stopped by the riverside and relaxed. It was so nice♪♪ I ordered: - Iced tea for 385 yen (tax included) - Latte for 495 yen Thank you for the delicious meal.
