There is no elevator on the second floor of the supermarket, only stairs. It seems like this cafe is not well known, as it is very quiet and peaceful. The customers seem to be mostly office workers in suits or local residents. The recommended matcha latte by the staff was delicious. Additionally, you can toast your bread to your liking using the toaster. The other menu items also looked delicious, so I will definitely visit again.

Today, I had lunch here. I usually take a break here after shopping, but this time I decided to have a late lunch. I had a ham and cheese sandwich with salad set. The sandwich was warmed up in the oven toaster before serving, and it definitely tasted better warm! The ham and cheese with ketchup was delicious. I also added extra vegetables from the salad into the sandwich. It was so tasty that I will definitely want to eat it again. Thank you for the meal!

I went to the supermarket "Big Beans" in Shinmachi and had a tea time at the café on the second floor before shopping. The café is spacious and quiet, making it a great place to relax. I ordered a small Mint Passion Fruit Tea (385 yen) at the counter and received it at the pick-up window next to the register. The tea had a sweet sediment at the bottom, so I mixed it well with a straw before enjoying it. It was refreshing and delicious. There were moms chatting with their kids, people working on their laptops, and others like me taking a break from shopping. The café has Wi-Fi and smoking seats, making it a convenient place for various purposes. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I took a break here♪ As I mentioned before, the first floor here is a bit expensive supermarket, so I did my shopping at the nearby Life store before coming to the cafe on the second floor. I was feeling a bit peckish, so I looked at the menu and was surprised to see that they now offer bread, omurice, and pasta in addition to sweets! I ordered the bread set to satisfy my hunger. When I placed my order, they brought the bread from the shop on the first floor and prepared it in the cafe. It was a great deal for just one coin, and I even got 5 yen back as change! Even though it was only 495 yen, the ham sandwich set was of high quality and delicious. It was a satisfying snack. Thank you for the meal♪

Today, I took a break here. I did some shopping at the slightly expensive Beans store and then came up to Coco for a sugar boost. I got the Maritozzo and drink set, which is an Italian sweet originating from Rome. It seems to be popular lately based on reviews, but its popularity might be fading soon. Well, it's basically just bread with a lot of whipped cream in it, so you can imagine the taste. The whipped cream might be the key to the flavor. It's a good sweet treat for when you need a little sugar boost or a snack. Unlike choux pastry, it has a good bite to it. Short and sweet (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

Before a meeting, I was looking for a cafe and remembered that a friend had mentioned there was a cafe above the Big Beans supermarket nearby. I visited the Big Beans West Main Store for the first time. The interior was beautiful and there were plenty of seats, including solo seats. They also have meeting rooms available for rent, which seems convenient for corporate use. There are smoking areas and Wi-Fi available, making it quite useful. Since it's located above a supermarket, it seems to have low visibility and fewer customers, making it quiet and ideal for repeat visits. They also have a good selection of food available. Thank you for the meal!

After finishing Sunday lunch at Nishiohashi, I decided to take a walk and came across a stylish supermarket right in front of me. I went inside and it was called Big Beans. In my neighborhood, which is rural, I don't often see such fashionable products. I was envious. The second floor was a cafe space, very spacious and relaxing. I had coffee and apple pie. It's perfect for spending time leisurely, reading a book, etc. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I took a break here. The supermarket here is a bit expensive, so many ladies living in the high-rise apartments nearby come here in their dresses. I came to get broccoli for breakfast, and some items are cheaper here than at the supermarket. I took a break on the second floor with an iced coffee for 346 yen including tax. The atmosphere is chic, and the coffee is delicious. They seem to use good quality coffee beans. Wi-Fi is available, which is very convenient. I plan to stop by again next time I go shopping. Thank you for the meal!

I took a break at the café on the second floor of Big Beans (๑>◡<๑). This place is always quiet and has sofa seats, so you can relax comfortably. Plus, they have charging outlets, which is great~♡ Recently, my favorite Starbucks underwent renovations and expanded the interior, which is nice, but they completely removed the cozy soft sofa seats and increased the uncomfortable high chairs and round high tables. I call it the "no lingering strategy" (ㆀ˘･з･˘). Because of that, I've been going to Starbucks much less now... but I found a good spot~ (*^◯^*)♪ Big Beans is a high-quality supermarket opened by President Takanabe in Osaka with the idea of "wanting to have a market-like face-to-face sales experience." It's located just east of Naniwa-suji, right across from Bridgestone Tire Company. When you enter the store, you'll first see a variety of fruits lined up, perfect for gifts. The selection is extensive (о´∀`о). You can shop for vegetables, fresh meat, and seafood while wandering around. I haven't been there on weekends, but I'm sure it's crowded. They prioritize freshness, so it's a bit pricey but within an acceptable range. It's convenient to buy ingredients for hot pot dishes during this season. The seafood section is stylish, and the sashimi looks beautiful. The meat section has a design where you can see the back yard. The recommended area is the deli section. There is a glass partition between this section and others, giving a sense of cleanliness. The deli dishes are made with the ingredients sold in the store and look delicious. There are many stylish options, making it perfect for home drinking or party shopping. They also have a variety of wines and liquors (ヽ(*＾ω＾*)ﾉ). Today, I used the café above, and the prices were... ⚫︎ Blend Coffee Short 290 yen ⚫︎ Spiced Chai Tea 350 yen Reasonable prices and easy to use♪ It was delicious! Thank you for the meal... My phone is fully charged now (о´∀`о)

Located on Nishiohashi, this supermarket stands out for its high-quality selection, allowing you to enjoy shopping with a slightly luxurious feel. It offers a variety of goods that you wouldn't find in your everyday supermarket, with many tempting high-quality products. From fresh produce to processed items, the quality is top-notch, albeit a bit on the pricier side. As you browse through the aisles, you can feel your buying urge rising. Today, what should I buy? Hokkaido snow potatoes, Hokkaido beef brisket, Yotsuba milk, Yotsuba butter, Starline tomatoes that were exceptionally sweet! My partner found a great deal - a box full of fresh shiitake mushrooms for ¥500. What a quantity! This is truly a bargain! We made shiitake mushroom steaks with butter and soy sauce. So delicious! The mushrooms had no unpleasant taste and were very easy to eat. You can have as many as you want! With the snow potatoes and beef brisket, along with onions and carrots we had at home, we made a flavorful and delicious beef stew. Quality meat is essential! Even though it may be a bit pricey, using good-quality meat makes a huge difference in taste. Rich flavor and depth! Soft and fluffy potatoes, melt-in-your-mouth goodness! Sweet and delicious! The tomatoes had a firm flesh and intense sweetness. Whenever we're in the area, we always make sure to stop by. You never know what great find you might come across!

This is my favorite pasta sold at the deli corner of Big Beans supermarket. It's made in the attached kitchen, so you can enjoy restaurant-quality food to go, which I love. The freshly made taste and homemade flavor are what I enjoy the most. It's reasonably priced and comes in a generous portion. This supermarket offers items that you can't find in regular supermarkets, and the deli corner has a variety of onigiri, salads, and Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes. They even have cold juices available. On the second floor of the store, there is a cafe as well.

This is a supermarket that opened in October 2012. It is slightly more expensive than regular supermarkets, but it has a unique selection of products. It falls somewhere between a regular supermarket and a high-end supermarket like Meiji-ya, Seijo Ishii, Kinokuniya in Kanto, or Ikari Supermarket in Kansai. I use it a few times a month because it's close by. I always buy the "Kitanaka no Mutenka Koji Miso." They also have affordable De Cecco pasta, olive oil, Ishigaki Island la-yu, Echire butter, and Gen Ryo Kakaku shichimi (seven spice) available.

［Mon, May 06, 2013］ Gourmet Market BIG BEANS West Theme: ♪ Food and Beverage Shop Bakery Shop After visiting Sharoa, I went to Gourmet Market BIG BEANS West main store located at 1-30-7 Shinmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka City. Inside the store, there is Boulangerie Tour de France. I bought a Gruffa donut, which is known for its firm and chewy texture. It is said to be an Italian-style donut. Here is a cross-section of the Gingerbread and a sliced piece. The next morning, I enjoyed it deliciously. Next stop is Takoyaki Gorou!

This is a trendy supermarket with a chic design featuring black and white colors. Despite the stylish appearance, it is not overly intimidating like some other high-end stores. The highlight is the circular checkout counter in the center, giving it a unique touch. The store offers a variety of products similar to those found at Seijo Ishii, giving off an impression of high prices. However, there are also hidden gems to be found. One such item is the "100% Dragon Fruit Juice from Taiwan," which, despite being sweetened with fructose, has a thick and delicious texture, making you feel like summer is already here. At this price, it's worth indulging in regularly. Another great find is the "Ume Hijiki Inari" in the deli section. Two pieces for 160 yen is a good deal for a satisfying snack. The crunchy texture of the ume and hijiki added an unexpected deliciousness to the inari. Just to clarify, I did not eat the inari and drink the dragon fruit juice together.

When this supermarket first opened, it had a grand title as "Legendary Supermarket". It is a high-end supermarket. It gives the impression that you can shop on both the 1st and 2nd floors, but you can only shop on the 1st floor. It is cramped and your basket will bump into others quickly. Overall, they have fresh and delicious items, as well as some unique ones, but everything is just so expensive! Every time I reach the checkout, I think "Wow, this is expensive!" The best value for money item in this supermarket is definitely their bread. It is as good as bread from a fancy bakery but slightly larger in size. The best value item is a French bread with lots of dried figs throughout, priced around 380 yen. It's the size of a half loaf but very satisfying and delicious. I visit this supermarket just to buy this bread. Sometimes, I get a sudden craving for this fig bread, so I guess you could say I'm hooked on it.

Big Beans West Hombu in Nishi-ku Shinmachi. A renowned shop with products that far exceed the level of a regular supermarket, including fresh fish and meat. The Honmaguro Tekkamaki was delicious, with various parts of tuna inside. The sushi toppings are also fresh and of high quality.

The other day, I bought some things at Big Beans - I prefer penne over macaroni, and I bought Alchereno's penne. I also got Hachimanya Isogoro's shichimi togarashi. Recently, they have not only cans but also bottles and refills available.
