It is a grateful café where you can relax and have coffee in the crowded and youth-centric Tennoji Mio. The spacious atmosphere is the best treat. I ordered Milk Sweet Potato. It's a little disappointing that the "condensed milk" is not very noticeable... Once the ice cream melts, it becomes milk. There is condensed milk... but it's scarce. The "Sweet Potato" is delicious though, I like it... even though there's not much of it. The coffee is strong and bitter. It's an oasis for exhausted customers in the hot, noisy, and humid shopping environment. Thank you for the meal.

When I tried to have tea in Tennoji on a Saturday afternoon after 3 pm, it was a challenge because there were few open shops and everywhere was crowded. However, this Kinokuniya bookstore has plenty of spacious seating so you don't have to wait too long. The seat I was guided to was in the back, which was even better. I was a bit bothered by the loud conversations of people around me, but the drinks and cakes were delicious, so I could relax and enjoy my time. I think it's a hidden gem of a place. Cake set: 1,260 yen including tax. Payment with PayPay is accepted.

In early March of the 5th year of Reiwa, I visited CAFE Eikokuya on the 10th floor of Mio Main Building in Tennoji after work. I had a chocolate chiffon cake and coffee jelly. The total amount was 1400 yen.

Around 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, I had some time before my appointment, so I decided to have some tea. There were already a few groups waiting, so I had to wait for a while before being seated at a table in the back. The seating arrangement was quite spacious, allowing me to relax without worrying about my surroundings. I don't usually eat chiffon cake, but I was drawn to the one made with chocolate, so I ordered it. Although ordering drinks and cake separately can be a bit pricey, you can choose any combination you like, making it quite a good deal. I chose the mixed juice, which I really like. Both the drink and the cake had a subtle sweetness and elegant taste, and they were delicious! I feel like 英國屋 is only found in urban areas, but I would definitely like to visit again!

I got tired from shopping at Q's Mall, Harukas, and MIO, so I wanted to relax somewhere. I decided to go to Eikokuya around 3 pm, but it was crowded during the break time. However, I was able to get a seat in about 5 minutes. I ordered a chiffon cake set and a mixed juice. They offer free refills for coffee, which was a nice service. The atmosphere was lively with many ladies chatting. Despite that, I was able to relax and enjoy my break. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for a early dinner and dessert at a unique British-style cafe. I decided to go for a light option, so I ordered the Uji Kin Time shaved ice with vanilla ice cream and three pieces of shiratama. It was a bit cold, so I wished they had served warm tea. With the British store's member card, I got a 10% discount. Thank you!

This is a set of plain waffle and a drink, with iced tea as the choice. The restaurant was quite crowded. The waffle had a slightly warm feeling to it. The syrup was really nice. I even added some syrup to the iced tea. It helped to soothe my tired body. Thank you for the meal! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

JR Tennoji Station is a complex building located directly above it, called Tennoji Mio. The 4th floor of the Plaza building and the 10th and 11th floors of the main building at the concourse of Tennoji Station have a restaurant area, with the 10th floor featuring slightly more casual dining options. In the western part of the 10th floor, amidst the casual atmosphere, this cafe exudes a sense of luxury. Although it may seem intimidating with the sophisticated feel of the Madams relaxing inside, I decided to visit during lunchtime. This cafe was established in 1961 in Namba, Osaka, and has around 60 stores in the Kansai region, including outlets in Abeno and Abeno Harukas. The semi-open interior has about 60 spacious table seats, with a designated smoking area provided. The interior design, including fixtures and lighting, reflects a luxurious and refined British style. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, curry, gratin, and coffee or tea sets, with a total of 7 options. Being a sandwich enthusiast, I ordered the Mixed Sandwich set (1,100 yen). Cutlery, salt, pepper, and paper napkins were promptly provided upon ordering, reminiscent of a hotel lounge style service. The sandwich and coffee arrived shortly after. The sandwiches, Egg Salad and Potato, were served on a white plate with a mini salad in the center. The sandwiches had a traditional British style with the crusts cut off. The Egg Salad sandwich had tomatoes, while the Potato sandwich had ham. The flavors were mild and suitable for everyone. The coffee had a slight acidity and rich taste, with the option for a refill, which was a nice touch. The coffee cups also added to the upscale feel. Despite the elegant atmosphere of the cafe, on this particular day, there was only one staff member serving the spacious area. Although the staff was efficient in taking orders, serving, and cashier duties, the constant running around detracted from the overall elegance of the experience.

Today I went shopping in Tennoji. It's been a while since I've been to Tennoji. After a fun shopping and lunch, before heading home, I decided to have a delicious iced coffee at the Engakuya store. The store's hygiene management during the pandemic is well done, with tables spaced out to avoid crowding. The store is spacious and clean. Engakuya is a store I used to frequent during my youth. It's been so long that I can't remember when it was... I may be old now, but I had a young past! The first time I entered Engakuya, I felt a sense of luxury, the sofa seats were comfortable, and sipping coffee made me feel a bit more grown-up. Since its first store opened in December 1961, Engakuya has expanded to Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe, and more. It's a store with a long and prestigious history. I had the iced coffee for 560 yen, which was slightly bitter, just the way I like it. Served in a tall glass with a straw, mixing the ice made a satisfying sound. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by in the middle of shopping and was surprised to find that the smoking room was full. However, I was able to move to an open space after about 20 minutes, and the coffee was delicious. I only know of this place, mio, where I can smoke, so if anyone knows of a good cafe for smokers, please let me know.

On this day, after having pasta, I casually decided to go to the British cafe. The comfortable sofa was nice! They have a smoking area, and the customers were talking quietly, creating a good atmosphere in my opinion. When one person ordered a banana juice, the three of us also decided to have banana juice. It was made with fresh bananas and was very delicious. After taking a short break, we headed back home. Thank you for the meal.

☆ Snack time after visiting the MIO beauty salon in Tennoji~♪ Located in the middle of the 10th floor of MIO's restaurant floor. This is my first review, but I have been here a few times before (^^; The interior used to be visible from the hallway, but it has been renewed and the feeling has changed a bit. Around 4 pm on weekdays, there are quite a few customers. The age group is slightly older (^^; The atmosphere is both calm and lively (^^; The staff's service is smart and attentive, which feels nice (^^)d I was a bit hungry and didn't want something sweet, so I ordered the "Egg Benedict-style Waffle Drink Set for 1300 yen including tax"~♪ It comes with a refill of coffee (^^)d It has arrived! The egg in the middle is wobbly and jiggly (*^^*) The essential Hollandaise sauce for Egg Benedict! It is generously poured over the waffle! I crushed the pastrami beef and half-cooked egg on the waffle, mixed it with plenty of Hollandaise sauce, and took a bite! Delicious~♪ I also enjoyed a refill of coffee and had a delicious meal (*^^*) Thank you for the meal~

I visited "Cafe Eikokuya" located on the 10th floor of Tennoji MIO, which is easily accessible from JR Tennoji Station and Midosuji Line Tennoji Station, for some tea after dinner. It was my first time visiting the restaurant area of Tennoji MIO, and I was impressed by the clean restrooms and the spacious layout of the shops, which was a fresh discovery for me as I am more familiar with the Umeda area. This was my 7th visit to an "Eikokuya" restaurant, and this time I ordered the "Cake Waffle" set with a drink. I chose the "Blend Coffee" which you can always get a refill of. The waffle was crispy and topped generously with ice cream, fruits, and whipped cream. The cozy sofa seats in the restaurant made for a happy and relaxing time. As a long-established coffee shop, they have a separate smoking area, which I think is valuable for smokers. The non-smoking area had plenty of space, but the smoking area was full. The staff were considerate enough to wait to serve my daughter's drink until she arrived, and looking back, I always appreciate the thoughtfulness of the staff every time I visit an "Eikokuya" restaurant. It made me think that perhaps the company "Eikokuya" is good at nurturing people.

Tennoji Mio's 10th floor chiffon cake and coffee set for 1260 yen. Coffee comes with one free refill. Cafe au lait is not available. The chiffon cake was light and delicious, but I wish it had a bit more thickness. Everyone was chatting happily.

I stopped by after shopping. The place is spacious and has a nice open feel with good distance between tables, making it easy to have conversations. I tried the waffles and chiffon cake, which are well-known here. They were delicious.

I really want to eat this waffle (*^^*) Drizzling it with plenty of syrup, so happy~❤ It always comforts me with its reliably delicious taste❤

After a lecture at Mio, I went to Eikokuya for coffee. I didn't have many opportunities to go there, but I found out that the second cup of coffee is free! I ended up chatting with a friend for a while, so I got a refill. They brought me a new cup and a receipt, which said "Second cup served," but the price remained the same. Interesting. I usually drink 2-3 cups of coffee at home every day, but for some reason, this one didn't sit well with me. It made my tongue feel rough, so maybe it didn't agree with me. I was happy that two cups for 540 yen is cheaper than Doutor, but maybe the beans weren't that great after all.

A cafe with an image of high-class nobility ☕️ The open space without partitions was relaxing! The iced coffee was refillable, which felt like a good deal. I plan to use it next time when I want to take a break (^^)

I think I have used this cafe when it was just a regular coffee shop, but this is my first time since it became an open cafe with self-service. After the meal, I wanted to relax and have a coffee, but I found that the price of coffee and mixed juice was almost the same, so I decided to try the mixed juice. It was a mixed juice from Osaka, a bit refreshing. But if it's only 350 yen, I guess this is what you get, considering that juice bars are expensive these days. I thought I took a photo, but it seems to have gone missing, so there's no photo.

I often use this place. Another British-style café I frequent does not offer refills on coffee, and when I ask for one, they seem bothered to prepare it. However, the staff here not only informs me about refills but also happily prepares them when requested. That's why I try to use this shop as much as possible. It's truly a cozy favorite spot of mine.
