Coffee by day, drinks by night in Kyōbashi

Kyōbashi is a drinking district with almost no daytime options. Monica fills that gap, running as a café through the day and flipping to a bar in the evening without touching the room.

The area under the train tracks is one of the last unpolished corners of central Osaka. Show up around six and watch the whole place turn over.

The hamburger plate had plenty of vegetables and everything was delicious! It was my first time trying potato salad with pickled ginger, and it was really tasty! The Basque cheesecake was huge and the best cheesecake I've ever had – I was so impressed! Also, it was my first time eating it with salt, and I was surprised at how well it went together! The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was great, and I will definitely go again!

I was looking for a place to relax in Kyobashi and found this! ✨ The atmosphere inside was stylish, and the hamburger steak for lunch was incredibly delicious! It's also great that it's a cafe during the day and a bar at night 🍹 I definitely want to go again when I'm in Kyobashi! ♡

Leaving the Mint Museum, I wondered whether to go home or not... I decided to walk towards Kyobashi, and as I strolled along, I discovered this restaurant. I was peeking in from the storefront when a staff member called out, "Please come in! (^ ^)" so I decided to have lunch here. It was hot and I was parched, so I ordered a sour and a double hamburger steak with cheese. The sour was ice-cold and delicious, and the hamburger steak was juicy with a handmade feel! I was also curious about the cheesecake, so I had it with the drink that came with the lunch set. The cheesecake was seriously delicious!! It had a melt-in-your-mouth texture and was super rich (^ ^) Fantastic! They also seem to have wine, so I think it would pair well with that. I highly recommend it!

They have a lot of cheese dishes, and lots of other dishes that would go well with drinks, so I'd like to come back for dinner next time! The interior is cute, and the staff were friendly! I also thought it was great that they're open until 2 AM, which is quite unusual!
