Osaka, Japan｜Sanwa Coffee Works Lucua 1100

Some reviews mentioned it being among the top 5 coffee in Japan. I thought that was overhype but… They were right! I’m big on coffee and it was the best I’ve had in two weeks across Japan. Surprisingly enjoyable vibe on upper floor of department store with classical and jazz music and comfy chairs.

A coffee oasis in Umeda. Skip your usual starbucks and spend a little more here, its completely worth it. Usually lots of seats available, they have wifi (ask the counter) and its quiet enough to enjoy some peace before going back into the crowd outside. The coffee is some of the best I've had in Japan - they had a nice Kenyan drip that was on special. A bit on the steep side (600 yen) but worth it in my humble opinion.

One of the best cafes in Osaka; the coffee is delicious and expertly prepared, and the cheese cake is delicious. Enjoy a cup of coffee while touring the massive shopping mall.
