Located on the 2nd floor of Bay Tower West, right by JR Bentencho Station, this spacious restaurant is easy to find with plenty of seating, including counter seats for solo diners. I ordered the Lemon Custard Pancakes (2 pieces) for 1030 yen and a hot tea for 220 yen. Since the pancakes take a while to cook, they served me tea first. The Earl Grey tea was nice, but I would have preferred it in a pot. After about 20 minutes, the thick pancakes arrived with hazelnut toppings. They were about 10cm in diameter and made with Shonan wheat, mascarpone cheese, and fermented butter. They came with a unique maple syrup blended with brown sugar. The pancakes were substantial and had a fluffy texture, but didn't dissolve in your mouth right away. The refreshing lemon custard, plant-based whipped cream, rich ice cream, and light syrup all complemented each other well. Overall, I was very satisfied with the flavors and textures, and I'm curious to try their seasonal pancake and lunch menus.

・Visited the Shonan Pancake Osaka Bay Tower shop located right near Bentencho Station. ・After much deliberation, I ordered the Caramel Banana and Espresso Mousse Pancakes ☕️. For drinks, I got an Iced Royal Milk Tea and a beer. ・Oh my goodness, they looked so delicious! The thick and fluffy pancakes topped with bruleed crispy bananas and espresso mousse were amazing. Eating it filled my mouth with happiness. The maple syrup blended with black sugar was just the right amount of sweetness, not too overwhelming. ・The spacious interior of the shop was very calming, with counter seats making it easy for solo customers to enjoy. I also noticed they had a limited edition Peach and Earl Grey pancake, so I definitely want to go back and try that too. ・☞ @shopan.osaka・・・#mogumoguzoro Bentencho #mogumoguzorocafe #ShonanPancake #ShonanPancakeOsaka #Osaka #OsakaGourmet #Pancakes #Cafe #OsakaCafe #Sweets #OsakaLunch #ctbgrp #spcpcpc #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeSweets #CafeHopping #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeCafes #StylishCafe #KansaiGourmet #KansaiCafe #KansaiCafeHopping #CafeStroll #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeCafes #CafeHoppingGroup #cafe #osaka #osakacafe #Osaka #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeGourmet

Visited with my mother after hitting the sales. We stopped by the nearest station here on the way back. The area in front of Bentencho Station has recently become quite beautiful, with lots of people around. The redevelopment seems to have been a great success! This restaurant here looked like it had delicious omurice. Shonan Pancake on Sundays is very popular here, so we had to wait a bit. The hot sandwiches and grilled dishes also looked delicious, but we stuck to our original plan and ordered the omurice. The mentaiko omurice looked shiny and delicious. And it was indeed delicious. We shared it between my mother and me. The ketchup rice inside was the best. The mentaiko cream had a flavor that I really liked. Of course, we also had pancakes for dessert! The lemon custard cream pancake with salted gelato was also shared. The lemon's acidity was just right and I really liked it. The lemon cream was amazing. The ice cream was a nice touch. My mother also highly praised it. The honey-soaked lemon was a nice accent. It paired well with the coffee. It was delicious. I think I'll stop by again on the way back from the sales. Thank you for the meal.

Located in Bentencho, at Osaka Bay Tower, this restaurant has an open atmosphere with surfboards and greenery, making you feel like you're at a resort. I ordered the blueberry cream cheese pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy and freshly made, taking about 20 minutes to prepare. The blueberry sauce with fresh blueberries, smooth cream cheese, and the pancakes had a delicious sweet and salty combination. You can choose between 2 or 3 pancakes, perfect for sharing. I tried the original syrup, which had a blend of black sugar, giving it a rich flavor that complemented the fluffy pancakes well. The restaurant is spacious with a relaxed vibe, offering box seats for a comfortable dining experience. Besides pancakes, they also have a variety of other menu options, so I look forward to trying their lunch menu next time.

In Bentencho, I tried the fluffy souffle pancakes at Shonan Pancake, which also has a branch in Osaka. The area has become more lively with new shops like this one. I chose the caramel banana and espresso mousse pancakes for brunch. The pancakes were light and fluffy, with a generous amount of whipped cream. The caramel banana had a nice balance of sweetness, and the espresso mousse was not too sweet, more like a bitter chocolate flavor. Maple syrup was provided on the table for those who prefer a sweeter taste. The whipped cream was light, so I used it generously. The espresso mousse was delicious and melted nicely on the warm pancakes. Overall, it was a delightful experience at Bentencho and I recommend it for a relaxing brunch.

I am "Noronori," who mainly walks around eating lunch, mainly in Sakai. I found out that there are various restaurants in Osaka Bay Tower. I didn't know at all. I entered this restaurant that caught my eye first. The sofas and regular table heights don't match, which was a bit funny. It looks like a small child sitting at an adult dining table. Oh well. I should have eaten pancakes, but I was hungry so I chose the hamburger loco moco. It felt a bit expensive at 1,330 yen without soup or drink included. The rice was also small, and the hamburger wasn't bad, and the atmosphere was nice, so I'm not complaining. If I had tried the pancakes, maybe it would have been highly rated... Thank you for the meal.

Before my son's parent-teacher conference, we decided to have lunch ❤ He had been hoping for this omelette rice since the day before. I usually don't eat sweet things, but I really wanted to try these pancakes. The deep-fried chicken was very meaty and had a nice crispy texture, although I found it a bit too flavorful. I ended up sharing half of it with my son. The omelette rice was delicious, I think it goes better with sauce than ketchup rice. As for the pancakes, they were amazing! I left some of the whipped cream, but I definitely want to come back for this again! However, it might not happen until my son finishes high school... Oh well, that's life. Overall, the prices were a bit higher than what you would find in Bentencho, but the relaxed atmosphere and ambiance made it worth it.

Taste: Excellent (Eating pancakes outside was a rare treat! They were fluffy and delicious) Atmosphere: Great (The natural color scheme created a cohesive and pleasant space. The staff were also very friendly. There seemed to be a lot of young women and couples when I visited) Cost: Average (Around 1,500 yen for a dish with a drink included. It's not cheap...) It wasn't too crowded so we were seated quickly, but we had to wait about 20 minutes for the pancakes.

I had to eat lunch quickly, so I entered this restaurant. It was a holiday, but the interior was filled with women, including the staff. I ordered the Fresh Strawberry Chocolate Fondue Pancake, which cost 2080 yen. It took a while to be cooked after ordering, but when the pancake arrived, it was surprisingly large. I wondered if I could finish it all, but with the toppings of strawberries, butter, whipped cream, and chocolate, I found it surprisingly easy to eat.

Eating pancakes outside was a rare treat for me. I went with my child, so I couldn't really relax and enjoy the meal... The taste reviews might be a bit messy. They had a kids' menu and provided special chairs for children (a sofa-type). However, you have to get your own water. I ordered the Shonan Pancakes for 1,080 yen and the Kids Plate for 720 yen, and they both arrived at about the same time. When the Kids Plate came, I thought the presentation was a bit sloppy, especially the sausages and mixed vegetables. The pancakes had a nice crispy exterior and were thick, which I liked, and the presentation was great. The Kids Plate tasted just as it looked. The hamburger had more sauce than I expected, so it was delicious. The pancakes had a nice sweetness to the batter, and my child happily ate them. They had syrup on the table for you to use as much as you like, which I appreciated (I tend to use a lot, haha). There were knives, forks, and spoons on the table, but since I had to watch my child, I only used the spoon. The pancakes were so fluffy that I had no trouble eating them with just the spoon. The nuts on top added a nice flavor variation. The prices were typical for a pancake shop, but I personally prefer trying other things at this price point, so I might not go to a pancake shop again for a while.

The cafe at Osaka Bay Tower is known for its fluffy pancakes and stylish atmosphere. The interior is very stylish with outlets and USB ports, making it a comfortable space where you might end up staying longer than planned. I visited to try their seasonal pancakes, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the white peach compote and creme d'ange pancakes, and they were delicious. The fluffy pancakes were topped with a whole white peach and plenty of cream, making for a blissful afternoon.

This trendy café, which opened in April this year, boasts fluffy pancakes as its specialty. For some reason, I had a sudden craving for pancakes and decided to check out this place located on the 2nd floor of the Bay Tower, where there is a beautiful open-air hot spring. The interior of the café has a Shonan vibe, with a refreshing summer-like atmosphere. The staff are all cheerful and cute. Here's what I ordered: - Mexican Chicken Jambalaya: A hearty rice plate topped with grilled chicken and a spicy salsa accent. - Lemon Custard Cream Pancake: Fluffy and bouncy pancakes served with rich hazelnut gelato, a hint of lemon acidity, and just the right amount of maple syrup. - White Peach Compote and Crème Anglaise Pancake: Another round of fluffy and bouncy pancakes topped with seasonal white peaches, crème anglaise, raspberry jelly, and maple syrup. A delicious combination that is not overly sweet and has a refreshing taste. The pancakes were so delicious that they disappeared in no time. The spacious and comfortable interior of the café, equipped with Wi-Fi and power outlets on the tables, made it a pleasant dining experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Enchanting Pancake 1716 2022 New Store Exploration Journal #170 Opened on April 1st, "Shonan Pancake Osaka Bay Tower Store" (Osaka, Bentencho). I ordered the Shonan Pancake for 1080 yen. It was decent, but not the best in terms of this type of pancake.

The pancake shop that I thought wouldn't be found in Osaka just opened in Bentencho. It's a nostalgic place for me because I used to live one station away and went to a nearby kindergarten by bus. Bentencho has changed a lot since then, with Bay Tower being sophisticated and stylish. It's connected to both JR and subway Metro. The entrance was inside Bay Tower West. The atmosphere had a Shonan beach vibe with some sea-themed decorations. I ordered: Royal Milk Tea Pancakes (2 pieces) for 1030 yen. The pancakes were fluffy like chiffon cake, and the Royal Milk Tea sauce was rich and flavorful. The tea leaves were noticeable, and it was delicious. The sauce was more enjoyable than the pancakes, and it's the shop's number one recommendation. Ice Royal Milk Tea for 280 yen. The drink felt a bit diluted compared to the strong Royal Milk Tea sauce on the pancakes. It would have been better as a latte instead. Overall, it was a tasty experience.

The area around Bentencho Station is bustling with energy, likely due to the upcoming Osaka Expo. There are various shops like Superlovia, Blue Seal ice cream, and Burger King in Bay Tower. Additionally, there is a new wave of cafes like Shonan Pancake opening up. A new high-rise condominium is also planned for the north side, adding to the excitement. This cafe is the first to open in Kansai, and while the kitchen seems to be running smoothly, the floor staff lacks experience and there are not enough staff during certain times, resulting in a bit of chaos. The restaurant is not crowded, but they struggle to keep up with clearing tables, taking orders, and serving drinks. However, these issues will likely be resolved over time. The cafe is stylish and seems to be contributing to the development of Bentencho. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to eat pancakes and found a place while strolling around. They had various kinds of pancakes like Royal Milk Tea and Blueberry, but I chose the simplest one, Shonan Pancake. The pancake was fluffy and creamy. You can add their original syrup made with fermented butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar. The size of the pancake was small, so I finished it quickly. They also have lunch menu items like Loco Moco and Omu-rice, which could be a good dessert option after the meal.

I had been looking forward to visiting this place since seeing photos before it opened, and I was taken there on opening day. The interior is stylish and makes you want to relax, just like its name "Shonan". The staff seemed very busy with the opening. The pancakes are made with unique ingredients such as Shonan wheat, fermented butter, and an original syrup blended with maple and black sugar. They make meringue for each order and carefully bake the pancakes on a griddle or in the oven. The pancakes were fluffy but with a solid texture that you can still taste the eggs in. This time, I had the meal item "Grilled Steak Bowl" for lunch for 1,580 yen, and then had the "Dessert Pancake Set" for 440 yen. There are other pancake options like the "Royal Milk Tea Pancake" that I want to try next time I visit!

"Delicious Pancakes at Shonan Pancake Osaka Bay Tower Branch" (Osaka, Bentencho). I ordered the Caramel Banana and Chocolate Mousse Pancakes for 1,280 yen."
