A new cafe opened in Minami Namba in November! Cafe annon offers a popular Hokkaido dish called "shime parfait." The shime parfait menu includes alcoholic options, such as the "Brandy NON" for 1,280 yen, which features orange, kiwi, muscat grapes, yellow peach, and chocolate ice cream topped with brandy. The parfait is elegantly presented with sparkling jelly and infused with brandy. This is definitely an adult dessert. If you're not a fan of alcohol, they also offer other delicious options like fluffy souffle pancakes. I tried the "Coffee Jelly" for 800 yen, which includes coffee powder, marshmallow, soft serve ice cream, and coffee jelly with various textures. You can also enjoy a good cup of coffee brewed with a siphon. After a night out in Namba, why not finish off with a shime parfait at this cafe? Enjoy!

Summary: On November 9, 2017, the hidden gem cafe CAFE ANNON in the bustling Namba Chuo-ku, Osaka, opened its doors to tourists. The concept of Cafe Annon is a cozy space where you can relax, with a Japanese-style atmosphere featuring Ryukyu tatami mats and the warmth of wood. They specialize in fluffy souffle pancakes, evening parfait, and meticulously brewed coffee. The interior of the cafe exudes a nostalgic and calming atmosphere, with natural light streaming in through the windows and wooden furnishings. The menu includes a variety of pancakes like the classic "NON," original "ANNON," and rich "Strawberry Chocolate Banana NON," as well as unique desserts like the "Pudding a la mode." The cafe has 39 seats, private rooms for up to 6 people, and a terrace on the second floor. They accept credit cards and QR code payments via PayPay. Located a 5-minute walk from Namba Station, the address is 4-20 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka. Operating hours are from 11:00 to 23:00, with early closures on specific dates in August.

The seating in the shop is a mix of traditional tatami mats and Western-style cushioned chairs, giving off a fusion of Japanese and Western vibes. The atmosphere is lively with many young people and couples. The pancakes are incredibly fluffy and creamy, with a great combination of flavors with the cream. In the evenings, they also offer adult-only parfaits with alcohol. I ordered the ANNON pancakes this time. There are two sauce options, matcha and black honey, allowing you to enjoy each pancake with a different flavor. However, I do not recommend putting the cream soft serve on top of the pancakes as it overpowers the pancake flavor. Be cautious of the order in which you eat the items on the plate, starting from the top left with the cream soft serve, matcha ice cream monaka, pancakes, and fruits. The ice cream melts quickly, so it's best to come with a bit of hunger. Despite the seemingly small portion, the three pancakes and dessert are quite filling, so it's best to order when you have a decent appetite.

Visited around 12:30pm! The restaurant was already full, so I had to wait outside for about 20 minutes before finally getting a table! I ordered the strawberry non-pancake and an iced cafe latte. The pancakes take about 20 minutes to make after ordering. When they arrived, there were three fluffy pancakes. They were easy to eat, even for women. The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and relaxing.

When it comes to parfaits, there are many different kinds, but I love Annon's tiny parfaits. They come in a small compact size in traditional Japanese dishes. On this day, I ordered the strawberry parfait, mango juice, and cream puff. It's all very sweet, but it's still considered lunch. I heard that you can order cream puffs and coffee jelly for takeout, and also for dine-in, so I ordered them. However, they said that dine-in was not possible with just the takeout items, so I had to settle for the unexpected usual strawberry parfait. I used a drink service coupon and got a mango juice for free. Itadakimasu!

The hot days are still continuing! Fluffy pancakes and shaved ice are the best! Shaved ice is still in season and so delicious. Sweet and tasty shaved ice helps to relieve fatigue. The shaved ice with custard and caramel sauce is like a pudding a la mode, so delicious. Fluffy pancakes are amazing when paired with fruits! This cafe in Namba has a comfortable second floor seating area. It's a nice spot for couples or groups to enjoy tea together. I'll definitely come back again when I'm in the area!

- About the ordered souffle pancake: "Fruit Souffle Pancake - 1650 yen (including tax) - The fluffy and creamy texture was delicious." - About the restaurant: - "I don't think they provide receipts or number tags. You pay at the register." - "You can pay with PayPay by scanning the QR code." - "Other menu items include 'Black Tea (Ronfeldt) - 500 yen (including tax)' and 'Brandy Parfait - 1480 yen (including tax) - available after 6 PM."

The pancake melted in my mouth and disappeared. The alcohol in the parfait at night was served separately, so you could choose how much to pour over. My partner started with a little bit, then poured the rest... enjoying the change in flavor.

After watching a movie, I visited this cafe for tea time. I was lucky to enter at just the right time despite it being a holiday. It had been a while since I visited a pancake shop. The atmosphere inside was calm and I was able to take a breather. I ordered the ANNON and Tiramisu NON, both with a fluffy and melty texture typical of souffle pancakes. I was worried they might be heavy, but they were actually light and easy to eat. The ANNON, the most popular choice, offers various flavors and textures to enjoy, but personally, I recommend the Tiramisu. It's even more delicious when shared and topped with ice cream.

A shop with a strong feminine vibe. The pancakes are very soft. When you cut into them with a knife, they slice smoothly. They are as soft as marshmallows, with a smooth texture like a drink. They are not dry at all, so you can eat them without needing a drink.

I had the Annon Pancakes ♡* They were fluffy pancakes made with plenty of eggs, so I got full♪*ﾟThey also came with ice cream which was perfect for a hot day♬ I was able to make a reservation on a weekday, so I smoothly got a seat at a spacious table!

At the end of the drink, I felt like having something sweet, so I visited this cafe! Is it a cafe specializing in parfait for dessert? Sweets are a separate stomach, right? Chocolate parfait! It may look small, but it was packed with deliciousness and filled my stomach. I think they also had a variety of coffee options.

After having dinner, I felt like having dessert, so I decided to go into this shop. I ordered pancakes and a parfait. The pancakes were incredibly fluffy and disappeared in my mouth. The parfait had lots of fruits, ice cream, and crunchy chips at the bottom, allowing me to enjoy various textures. Eating sweet desserts at this time may feel guilty, but I would love to visit this shop again.

Today I took Marill to a cafe in Namba, Chuo Ward for some coffee time. We visited CAFE ANNON (@cafe_annon_namba) and ordered Matcha Tiramisu and Blue Raspberry. The Matcha Tiramisu was a parfait with matcha flavor, matcha jelly, and ice cream inside. The combination of rich matcha and creamy milk cream made it delicious, and the strawberries and chestnuts on top were a perfect match. The Blue Raspberry was a raspberry cream soda that was sweet and refreshing. It was delicious! The pancakes on the menu also looked tempting, so I will definitely come back to try them. Thank you for the wonderful meal! 🍵🍰🍓🥤🥞 #OsakaCafe #OsakaFood #NambaCafe #NambaFood #CafeAnnon #Pokemon #Marill #PokemonLover #PokemonPlush #PokemonPhotography #FoodWithPokemon #MarillAdventures 🍴🍵🍰🍓🥤🥞

I went on Sunday for lunch and it was crowded. Even though there was no lunch menu, I saw "NON" written on the menu, which apparently means "with ~" in Osaka dialect. I didn't know that, haha. I thought the pancakes would come with two pieces, but it was actually three, haha. They were fluffy and I finished them in no time. The cream was not too sweet and had a nice texture, I liked it. There was maple syrup on the side, and although it was delicious when poured on, the pancakes and cream alone were also tasty. I want to go on a pancake food tour like in the old days. Pudding is good too, but I want to go back for pancakes ❤️.

I ate at a table on the second floor, and it had a very calm atmosphere, allowing me to eat slowly. The strawberry pancake was fluffy and paired well with the sauce. They also had a wide variety of drinks, so I'm thinking of trying something different next time. It's a fun and enjoyable place.

Arrived at the restaurant around 2 o'clock on a festival day. There were about 6 groups waiting in front of the store, but 2 groups left halfway, so we were able to enter in about 45 minutes. We ordered tiramisu and fruit pancakes, with coffee and cafe au lait as set drinks. After about 20 minutes, the pancakes and drinks arrived. The pancakes had a strong egg smell and were a bit difficult to eat. The tiramisu didn't have much mascarpone flavor. My friend ordered the fruit pancakes, which were easier to eat with the added fruit acidity. Personally, I don't think I would visit again, but my friend seemed to like it, so it may depend on personal preference.

I made a reservation and went! The hot chai was the gentlest and most soothing flavor I've ever had, and it really healed me. The pancakes I was looking forward to were incredibly fluffy and just melted in my mouth, so I could easily eat three of them! The staff at the shop were also very kind and the interior was a very comfortable space, so I ended up staying longer than planned. Thank you for a wonderful time!

After lunch, I felt like having something sweet, so I found this shop. They said the pancakes would take 20 minutes, but I ordered them anyway. I chose the original Japanese-style pancakes and parfait. Both were delicious. The pancakes were really fluffy, and even though I was full, my friend and I finished them in no time. They came with black honey and matcha syrup, so you can change the flavor while eating. Of course, they are delicious as they are! They also have siphon coffee, so I want to try that next time I visit.

I stopped by on a whim after visiting Animate. The pancake batter was even fluffier than I had imagined, it melted in my mouth immediately. The sweetness was mild and easy to eat, I was very satisfied! I would love to go again if I have the chance.

As a goal for this year... I had decided to try new restaurants instead of going to the same place multiple times, but I quickly gave up haha. Because the "Night Parfait" and "Non-Alcoholic Red Wine" at "Annon" that I tried last time were too delicious! The separate "Rich Red Wine Sauce" that came with the "Non-Alcoholic Red Wine" I ordered last time was poured over the parfait, and the remaining sauce was mixed with mango juice to create a delicious "Original Cocktail." It was so easy to drink and delicious, the best! I quietly got hooked on it and wanted to try other items, so I waited for the weekend to revisit. The Night Parfait is actually a limited menu available only on Fridays and Saturdays after 6 pm, not on the regular menu. It was raining heavily that day, so the restaurant was empty, with only 3 couples on the first floor and 3 on the second floor, lucky me! This time, I ordered the "Non-Alcoholic Plum Wine" and the Mango Juice. They were served about 10 minutes after ordering, and the presentation was perfect! The "Plum Wine" this time was just as good as the "Non-Alcoholic Red Wine" I had last time. It looked great too! I poured the separate rich plum wine sauce over the parfait and enjoyed it. The remaining plum wine sauce was mixed with mango juice to create another delicious Original Cocktail! Let's dig in! The not-too-sweet parfait was amazing, with grape sherbet, yuzu sherbet with a hint of bitterness from the peel, plum wine jelly, and fruits. It was incredibly delicious when eaten together! Although the regular parfait here is small, I was satisfied, but the Night Parfait is still the best! The Mango Juice mixed with Plum Wine Sauce that I made this time was also incredibly delicious as a cocktail! Once again, I made my own "Tipsy Set" and was completely satisfied. When I left the restaurant, I was in a tipsy mood, so I didn't even mind the heavy rain. But when I arrived at the station and looked at my coat, it was completely soaked, which surprised me haha. I must have fallen asleep on the train right after sitting down. Luckily, I woke up just before my stop, so it was all good. Thank you for the pleasant 20 minutes! I was completely satisfied once again. Thank you for the delicious meal! I also recently had a strawberry parfait, which was full of strawberries and cute. Satisfied! Adding a photo ✨️
