The rich coffee warms up your chilled body, and you can get a refill at half price. The "Baked Vanilla Souffle" starts off without syrup, offering a fluffy and creamy texture. You can add custard or chocolate syrup for a sweet twist.

This is Hoshino Coffee Shop in Kitahorie, Shinsaibashi. I visited for breakfast at 9 am. There were various options on the morning menu, but I chose the 550 yen menu - toast or pancakes? This time, I had toast and boiled eggs. The thickly sliced toast was crispy and buttered, perfect for a morning meal. In Kansai, thick-cut slices of bread are preferred. I had the boiled eggs with a sprinkle of salt. Since I'm not a fan of coffee, I opted for iced tea and milk tea. It was just the right amount for a morning meal.

After lunch, I took a break and entered this cafe. They have single sofa seats where you can relax comfortably, which is rare for a cafe. The seating is spacious unlike Starbucks, allowing for a relatively quiet atmosphere. I ordered the burnt caramel custard apple pie with vanilla ice cream along with a cup of Hoshino coffee. It cost ¥1,000. Ah, it was delicious.

Today, my family came to Shinsaibashi, so we went to the coffee shop Star Cafe that my father likes! The chairs here are big and comfortable, which is nice. I've been here many times, but they have Blue Mountain coffee until the end of this month! I decided to treat myself and ordered the Blue Mountain coffee and Star Cafe Opera cake set. The coffee arrived and I took a sip... Wow, it has a deep flavor and bitterness, and I can drink it black without any problem, it's so delicious! Normally, I prefer my canned coffee with a little sugar, I'm not a fan of black coffee, but if it's really good coffee, I can enjoy it black, especially with cake! When I was in high school, I was still a kid and needed lots of sugar and milk in my coffee, but now as an adult, I can appreciate the taste of black coffee. I drink about two cans of coffee a day, I really love coffee! It's unrelated, but I used to work at a coffee shop and I was surprised at how cheap the cost of coffee is... Thank you for the meal!

A one night, two day business trip to Osaka and Kobe. First, I visited "Hoshino Coffee Shop Kitashinsaibashi Store" for a meeting with the client. The location is on the second floor of a building on the left side as you head north on Shinsaibashi-suji shopping street from Nagahori-dori. The interior of the shop is very much like Hoshino Coffee Shop, with heavy furniture and furnishings, and there is even a fireplace in the room. We sat on the sofa seats. Now, it's time to order. I have tried the "Hikoboshi Blend" and "Orihime Blend" at Hoshino Coffee Shop before. This time, I ordered a "Cafe au Lait". The shop is spacious, with a considerable distance between the seats, making it ideal for business meetings. And in 5-6 minutes, my order was served. The cup is the same as other blended coffees. The "Cafe au Lait" has about the same amount of coffee and milk. The coffee flavor is strong, so even with added milk, the taste doesn't get diluted. It truly has a robust taste and a core that is unique to freshly ground beans brewed with hand drip. It was a quite delicious "Cafe au Lait". Actually, I realized later that it was still within the time frame to order the morning set. In addition to toast, the morning set also includes mini pancakes. I heard that Hoshino Coffee Shop is famous for its pancakes, so I would like to try them next time as I left the shop. The bill was 620 yen. Thank you for the meal!

The ordered menu item, Beef Stew Omurice Doria, arrived in about 10 minutes. The beef stew sauce and the omurice sauce were delicious, with chunks of beef and mushrooms. The egg was slightly runny and not too thick, and the ketchup rice inside was flavored with bacon. The dish was served on a wooden tray that looked like it could be placed on a hot plate, with a white plate, spoon, fork, and stainless steel knife. A Kalita coffee mill, a hand grinder, was placed on the frame of the table seat's edge as an interior decoration. As of September 2021, the operating hours are from 9:00 to 20:00, with last orders at 19:30. The restaurant is open every day and does not serve alcohol.

I often use this shop and tried their katsu sandwich for the first time! It was so delicious! I wish I had tried it sooner. The shop has partitions for individual use, which is great. Although the smoking area is gone, they have a non-smoking booth.

After leaving the clinic, I took a little coffee break at Hoshino Coffee in Shinsaibashi Kita Shopping Street. I only intended to have coffee, but ended up trying their recommended strawberry French toast for spring. Even though I had planned to skip lunch today, I couldn't resist and ended up finishing it all in no time because it was so delicious. The cafe is spacious with comfortable sofas and well-spaced seating, making it a favorite spot of mine. I usually don't linger in cafes for too long, but I think I could relax and enjoy my time here without feeling rushed.

A cozy cafe in Shinsaibashi! The coffee is delicious and the desserts are also tasty! The best part is the comfortable sofa seats where you can relax and work on your laptop. I always enjoy working here at a leisurely pace!

I finished work in the morning and decided to kill time before the shops opened. I ordered a morning coffee with Hoshino Blend. The toast here is all small... The taste is average, but sitting by the window, I can overlook the shopping street, so the view is pretty nice. I paid 28 yen with a card for 500 yen using a premium meal ticket.

I had some time before my next appointment, so I decided to stop by Hoshino Coffee Kitahorie store. I've always been curious about Hoshino Coffee, as they have quite a few locations. I ordered the Hoshino Blend coffee and Deluxe Mont Blanc cake. I was planning to write a blog post while enjoying my coffee here, but the large sofa they led me to was so comfortable that I ended up dozing off (laughs). The coffee and cake were both well-made. Even though it's on the second floor, the place was packed with customers. It's a popular spot!

Today, I took a break here. The staff guided me to a quiet spot in the back away from other customers. However, three tough-looking girls seemed to be having a serious conversation. I ordered a hot dog and a Showa-era pudding. The hot dog had a simple, nostalgic taste and was delicious. The Showa-era pudding was recommended by a friend and had a nice caramel sauce with a hint of bitterness. The pudding had a perfect texture and a lovely egg flavor. Despite the intense conversation happening nearby, I enjoyed the delicious pudding.

I wandered around Shinsaibashi-suji looking for a place to charge my phone, but unfortunately, I couldn't charge it there. However, the atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable! The chairs were nice and I felt like I could really unwind. I made a mistake coming in because I didn't have much time to relax. I wanted to take my time in a space like a gentleman's study. I ended up ordering the oven-baked souffle pancake, which was the signature dish. I chose maple syrup over caramel or honey. The cup had a cute design. The pancake was so fluffy! Even just the whipped butter was delicious. I decided to pour some maple syrup on top. It was tasty. However, I felt that the pancake was more like a sponge cake than the usual fluffy and moist texture you'd expect from a souffle pancake. I would definitely come back if they had phone charging available.

An antique interior coffee shop that is right up my alley. The single-seater sofa is so comfortable, I could spend a whole day here. I ordered the specialty "Hoshino Coffee Opera" and "Hoshino Blend" for the first time. The Hoshino Blend has a light taste and aroma with no strong aftertaste, making it a coffee that anyone can enjoy. The Opera cake exceeded my expectations. It consists of layers of bitter chocolate on top, coffee-soaked sponge cake, buttercream, milk chocolate, and sponge in the middle. It's not too sweet or bitter, and the chocolate inside is delicious. Whether eaten normally or layer by layer, it's delicious. The only thing that might be lacking is a deeper coffee flavor that would complement the Opera cake better. Since the Hikoboshi Blend and Orihime Blend are also representative blends of Hoshino Coffee, I would like to try them next time. The interior, atmosphere, taste, overall, this was a high-level shop. Thank you for the meal.

Baked souffle with anglaise sauce, Star Blend, total cost 1045 yen. Takes about 15 minutes to bake. Larger than expected. Hot and fluffy. Occasionally, the crunchy sugar crust adds a nice touch. It's hot, but eat it before it deflates. Adding anglaise sauce and firm whipped cream enhances the dessert feel. The blend has a deep and rich flavor. The spacious and cozy atmosphere makes it very comfortable.

I wanted to eat a freshly made souffle, which took 20 minutes, but it was no problem at all. I waited leisurely with my friends in a stylish and calm atmosphere. The souffle was even more delicious than I imagined! I definitely want to come back to eat it again! The texture and sauce were addictive! The iced coffee we ordered together was also very delicious!

I visited this restaurant in the afternoon on a holiday, and there was no parking available. This day was the only event I could attend during Golden Week, a Yoshimoto theater performance. After having lunch at Chediluan, I strolled around Shinsaibashi, which was crowded with people. The drugstores were calling out in Chinese, and the flyers outside the stores were in Chinese and Korean, making it hard to tell which country I was in. Since I was in Shinsaibashi, I went on a shopping spree at Rega, Fossil, Urban Research, and also tried to find a tumbler at UNIQLO. Finally, I took a break at this place. It is located on the second floor in a prime location within the shopping district. The interior of the restaurant is smoke-free, which is rare in this area. Once inside, you can relax and enjoy a cup of iced coffee for 480 yen plus tax. It's a lovely place to take a breather. Thank you for the meal!

On a holiday afternoon, I had Sakura season udon for lunch and had some time to spare before my next appointment, so I decided to visit "Hoshino Coffee Shop Kitashinsaibashi Store" for a coffee. However, I was intrigued by the menu photo of the "Ice Brulee" which looked quite Instagrammable, so I couldn't resist and ordered it. The surface was nicely burnt and crispy, while the inside had a firm ice cream texture. The accompanying whipped cream and fruit were also a nice touch. After taking a proper photo, I dug in and it was delicious! Thank you for the wonderful treat.
