Best coffee spots in Osaka

01

LiLo Coffee Roasters

Osaka's best specialty coffee in a tiny shop near Shinsaibashi. The single-origin pour-overs are precise and the owner is passionate about sourcing. The space is minimal — three seats and a brew bar.

02

Brooklyn Roasting Company

A spacious roastery-cafe in Kitahama with excellent cold brew and a gorgeous riverside terrace. The New York-meets-Osaka aesthetic works perfectly. Good for a long afternoon work session.

03

Takamura Coffee

In a beautiful old wooden house in Nishi-ku, this cafe serves exceptional single-origin coffees with the care of a tea ceremony. Each cup is brewed individually by the owner. Meditative and delicious.

04

Mel Coffee Roasters

A modern roastery near Shinsaibashi with light-roasted beans and a clean, bright space. The espresso tonic is refreshing on hot Osaka days and the cheesecake is a perfect pairing.

05

Granknot Coffee

A hidden cafe in Nakazakicho in a converted wooden house. The owner hand-drips every cup and the quiet neighbourhood setting is a world away from Dotonbori. The seasonal blend is always interesting.

06

Moto Coffee

A beloved Osaka institution with a no-frills approach. The drip coffee is strong, the toast is thick-cut and buttery, and the retro interior with wooden counters feels timeless. Cash only.

07

Streamer Coffee Company

Started by a world latte art champion, this chain's Osaka location does beautiful milk-based drinks. The signature streamer latte and the pancakes are both Instagram-worthy and genuinely good.

08

Café Absinthe

Despite the name, this Kitahorie cafe is best known for excellent coffee and a creative international menu. The outdoor terrace and the bohemian interior attract Osaka's creative community.
