Going down the stairs, the atmosphere is nice. Most people are choosing the afternoon tea. Today, I opted for the scone set. It had a moist texture which I like. I tried a rare matcha scone and an Earl Grey scone, both were delicious. I had a relaxing time in the calm interior of the shop.

I searched for a place to have the afternoon tea I had always admired in the retro Kitahama area, and ended up at this shop. The shop was filled with an English atmosphere, with antique furniture and accessories that made me go "Wow!" The place was bustling with female customers. The silver three-tiered tray included cakes, scones, cookies, and sandwiches. There were various types of tea to choose from, but I made the right choice with the familiar Darjeeling. When there are many sweet treats, it seems that a mild tea without too much flavor is better. Also, because I was hungry, I made the mistake of eating the sandwich first... The sweets were sweeter than I expected, so it's best to alternate between the sandwiches and sweets. I heard that the popular shop gets crowded quickly, so I made a reservation and visited on a Saturday. For afternoon tea, reservations are for one person only and cannot be shared. Well, I managed to eat the amount served. Compared to other shops, the prices are reasonable, making it affordable for a beginner like me. There is a similar group shop facing it, and I was a bit confused about which one to go to when I went there for the first time. The restroom is located deep underground in the building across the street. It's not very spacious, so you may end up waiting outside the door... That was a bit disappointing.

Actually, I like afternoon tea. Well, sorry, I have only enjoyed afternoon tea once in my lifetime. So, I still have a longing for it. The threshold is high for a single middle-aged man like me. I think afternoon tea is about enjoying conversation with close people while relaxing. That's why I feel that a middle-aged man like me, indulging in sweets alone, should not be there. That's the high threshold for me. I finally had the opportunity to visit "OLD ROSE GARDEN," a place I've wanted to go for a long time. A woman I've known for a long time was coming to Osaka from Kanto, so I took this as a good opportunity. I thought that with a woman, even a middle-aged man like me could cross the threshold. When I went down the stairs, it was like a stylish different world, with a classic British flavor. The area around the store is a modern, sleek office district, so there is a big gap and a sense of a different world, which is fun. Moreover, the area still has modern architecture, so it is a suitable location. When I went down the stairs, I realized that there were three stores side by side. In front of me was the English pub "ROYAL HAT," which I guess opens in the evening. On the right was the tea salon "OLD ROSE GARDEN," the main target of this visit. Facing it was the cafe "OFICINA DEL CAFE." In fact, both "OFICINA..." and "OLD ROSE..." offer afternoon tea. However, the former is from 2 pm (varies by day of the week), and the latter is from 11 am (details on the official website). Since the early hours were convenient for me, I chose "OLD ROSE GARDEN." The interior of the store is elegant, antique, lyrical, and cute. You can tell, right? It gives off a feeling like, "Isn't this a place where a middle-aged man alone shouldn't be?" The afternoon tea set is very reasonably priced and wonderful. It starts from 2,200 yen including tax, which is incredibly cheap. As a reference, I feel that even 3,500 yen is cheap, but in hotels, it's over 5,000 yen. That's the price of afternoon tea, so 2,200 yen is very cheap. The price has a "~" because it varies depending on the choice of cream, tea, and cake. I chose clotted cream for the scones. Since I'm not familiar with tea, I chose the Ceylon blend. For the cake, I chose the Berry & Pistachio Tart. I chose a higher-priced cake with clotted cream, so it exceeded 2,200 yen, but I didn't mind at all. Because the basic price is low, even with optional add-ons, it's much cheaper than other afternoon teas in the area. While other customers were choosing their cakes, I took photos of the interior of the store and waited. It was almost full on a weekday morning, and it seemed like I wouldn't have been able to get in without a reservation, so I'm glad I made one. Soon, the tea arrived, in an elegant teapot. And finally, the cake stand arrived. The top tier was the cake, usually for two people but this was for one. The second tier had sandwiches and cookies, with cucumber and ham for the sandwich fillings, which seemed British. The bottom tier had scones with jam and clotted cream. Looking at the whole thing from above, it was grand, luxurious, and got me excited. As I looked at the whole thing, the tea was also ready, so I started. They said to start before the ice cream on the cake melted, so I started from the top tier. Oh, everything was delicious. The scones were crispy, the sandwiches provided a savory cushion between the sweets, and the cakes were delightful. But well, it can get quite filling, right? Choosing a tart with the scones probably made me feel fuller. And before I knew it, time had passed while I was eating and chatting. When I tried to order a refill of tea, the time limit was approaching. The seats are for 90 minutes, they said, well, it can't be helped with so many customers. I had a sweet and enjoyable time at a reasonable price. And yes, I reaffirmed that a middle-aged man alone should not be at an afternoon tea.

"Afternoon Tea Set - We will serve scones, cookies, seasonal cakes, finger sandwiches, and ice cream baked in our store on an afternoon tea stand." "Keyman - A high-quality Chinese tea from the ➖ region. It is characterized by a unique oriental aroma likened to orchids."

I had afternoon tea and chose the Lapsang Souchong tea. The scones were a mix of plain and today's special. Surrounded by the British atmosphere, it was a bit of a luxurious tea time. The cake was like a daifuku-style shortcake, which was interesting.

Located between Yodoyabashi Station and Higobashi Station, you will find the Old Rose Garden. Going down underground, you will enter a different world. I visited on a weekday just after 12 pm and managed to get in. There was a bit of a wait, but eventually, many people were able to enter. The tables are mostly round, and there is a smoking area, which may be why men also frequent this place. I ordered the daily sandwich special. First, they bring you a pot of tea. Each person gets their own pot, so there is plenty to drink! You can choose from black tea, lemon, or milk. I was a bit confused about how to use the tea strainer... The sandwich came on a plate with today's special (beef sandwich), which was a classic and satisfying choice. The plate also included potatoes, salad, and was quite filling. Even while savoring the sandwich and tea, there was still plenty of tea left, so it's a great place to relax and enjoy your time.

I love tea. I've always wanted to try it, so I went with my daughter to enjoy afternoon tea. The interior is so cute (^_^) It's definitely appealing to girls, and if you love England, you'll enjoy it. You can enjoy plenty of tea in a pot, and considering the atmosphere, the higher price is justified. But I think the scones I bake are tastier, so I give it 3 stars.

"Afternoon Tea Set - We will serve freshly baked scones, cookies, seasonal cakes, finger sandwiches, and ice cream on an Afternoon Tea Stand." "Keyman - A premium tea from a top Chinese tea-producing region. It is characterized by a unique oriental fragrance likened to orchids."

Located right in the middle of the business district, this place has a hidden gem vibe as it is underground. As you descend the stairs next to the building, you'll forget all about the business district and be surrounded by greenery. The shop has a luxurious British feel to it. There are two shops facing each other, Oficina Del Cafe and Old Rose Garden, so just choose the one you like without worrying too much about it. This time, I had afternoon tea, and you can choose your own cake. You can also choose from two types of scones and different creams to go with them. If you go with two or more people, you can try everything. Every plate was delicious, but the highlight was definitely the coffee. The Oficina Blend Coffee was outstandingly delicious. It was a truly elegant morning on a relaxing holiday.

Yodoyabashi Station, about a 4-minute walk, is a cute cafe located in a business district where your girl power will skyrocket. I went with my cute junior colleague! This is the sister store of Officina Del Cafe across the street where I went last time. Officina Del Cafe has a larger interior. I really can't tell the difference well... Afternoon tea costs around 2,200 yen per person, including cakes, 2 types of scones, sandwiches, and drinks. You can order without a reservation on weekdays from 14:00 onwards. It's full of girls. Everywhere is cute with bears and flowers. When you want to be told, "Mami-chan, you really know a cute place!" bring them hereヽ(´ー｀) The attentive customer service of the staff is wonderful. Thank you for the meal♫

I have been going here for a while. It had been a few months since my last visit. Did they change the way they bake the scones? I preferred the previous version (T-T). The taste is delicious, but it feels more like bread now. I liked the previous crispy texture better. The tea is delicious, but it was hot so I had an iced milk tea. The staff is friendly, which I like. I will definitely go back again.

It seems that I like berry cakes, so when I opened the door, it felt like entering a different space. The interior of the shop was lined with antique goods, very cute. I had a berry cake and lychee tea. The cake was not too sweet, had a smooth texture, and was delicious. It was light and I could eat as much as I wanted. The cups and plates were cute and lifted my mood. The toaster-shaped teapot was really cute. The prices were reasonable, so you can easily enjoy a tea time. Thank you for the meal!

This is an English-style tea salon located in the basement of a building. Despite being in an office building above ground, the tea salon has a charming English decor that creates a unique atmosphere in the Osaka business district. I made a reservation for the afternoon tea set this time. - Tea: You can enjoy tea for free from the afternoon tea menu. The teapots, especially the toaster-shaped one, are adorable. - Cake: You can choose your favorite cake from the showcase. I chose a cake with black tea and pear layers. It was fluffy and had a good balance of sweetness, thanks to the black tea and pear base. - Vanilla Ice Cream: Served with berry sauce, the vanilla ice cream was just the right temperature to enjoy before it melts. - Sandwiches: Three sandwiches with ham and cucumber filling. Simple but delicious. - Biscuits: Two types of biscuits, one plain and one with chocolate chips. Both were classic and comforting. - Scones: Two types, plain and fig. I paid extra to switch to clotted cream, which I prefer. The scones were delicious, especially with the cream and blueberry jam. Despite the weekend crowd, the staff's kindness and good service made the experience even more enjoyable. The cakes and tea were delicious, but I think the secret to their popularity lies in the staff's excellent customer service. I would love to visit again. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I go to Yodoyabashi about once every two months on my way back from errands. This time, I had the grape shortcake. It had lots of grapes in it. The tartness was strong and delicious. (It wasn't as sweet as I expected.) I also had an iced milk tea. I quietly hope they will have iced royal milk tea too. I will definitely go back.

A genuine British-style tea salon suddenly appears in Yodoyabashi. Located in a semi-basement, this hidden gem of a tea salon is sure to excite the ladies. Surrounded by greenery, the cute exterior is matched by the adorable interior, with floral patterns adorning the tables and walls. The afternoon tea set includes sandwiches, scones, cookies, mini madeleines, and a choice of cakes from the showcase. The cakes were delicious! With all the Instagram-worthy decorations, the set is priced around 3000 yen, making it a great choice for girls who love cute things. Highly recommended!

Suddenly appearing cute signs in the office district ♡ I went down the stairs and found myself in a different world (*≧艸≦) I enjoyed delicious tea at "Old Rose Garden" which had a charming scenery reminiscent of a scene in London, England. The place was mostly filled with women during lunchtime. Many people seemed to be enjoying the daily special, which was apparently a gratin. The sandwiches also looked delicious and hearty. Since I had already had a full lunch, I decided to go for the cake set. The cake set prices start from 1100 yen, with a 50 yen discount from the total bill. - Caramel Lee Gency: A caramel-scented tea that is mild and soothing, with hints of marigold, and served with milk. It was a delightful treat that helped me relax. There were about 20 types of tea available, and they serve two cups worth in a teapot. The first cup is to be enjoyed as is, while the second cup can have milk added as the tea leaves still have flavor. I opted for a larger cup. - Caramel Choco Banana: I decided to go all out with caramel in this one. It was sweet and delicious, with a balance of caramel bitterness and banana flavor. The cake was a caramel mousse, not too heavy, and paired perfectly with the tea. The interior of the place had antique furniture, tin items, and lovely goods for sale such as teapots, teacups, cakes, and tea. They also offer an "Afternoon Tea Set" for 2000 yen, which I wanted to try but it seemed too filling so I had to pass this time. I hope to come back with an empty stomach for a rematch.

I was finally able to go back after the self-restraint period was lifted. It was calming. It was hot, so I was craving for iced tea and something sweet, so I chose the melon shortcake (although I was also considering the cherry tart). It was delicious.

I visited on a Sunday, so Yodoyabashi, an office district, wasn't too crowded, but still a popular spot with a few groups coming and going. It's located underground, but with a skylight at the entrance, natural light fills the space creating a bright and pleasant atmosphere. The afternoon tea set was 2000 yen! We shared it between two people, and the freshly baked scones were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, really delicious. The Royal Milk Tea came in a large cup, allowing us to fully enjoy its rich flavor, it was very tasty! It's a relaxing space, so I would love to visit again!

I have been here many times, but it was the first time in a while with a friend. We ordered the afternoon tea set. The portion was huge and we couldn't finish it all. I feel bad for wasting food. We ended up leaving one piece of cake and one sandwich uneaten. With two scones already, we were already full. But with cake, two scones, ice cream, sandwich, cookie, and delicious tea, we were very satisfied and full. The dishes were cute and it was a soothing experience. Despite being busy, the staff were friendly and provided good service. My friend was also satisfied, so I'm glad we came here. *I apologize for the poor quality of the photos, I couldn't capture the goodness of the food in the pictures.*

Afternoon tea set for 2365 yen. I chose the Uva option, so there was an additional charge. Although it says from 2 pm, it was also okay during lunchtime. It had been a while since I last visited, and I feel like the texture of the scones and the content of the plate have improved. The sandwiches were neither good nor bad, but the bread was better. Vanilla ice cream was included from the beginning, so I had to eat that first. It had plenty of beans and was delicious. The scones were plain, and also had seasonal fig and black tea. The clotted cream was also delicious. The jam would be better if it wasn't blueberry. The berry shortcake had frozen berries and whipped cream, which was okay. The tea was served in a pot with plenty to drink. It seems like the warmer is gone. The portion was just right, and I could relax in an English cafe atmosphere.
