Osaka, Japan｜MIXup（ミックスアップ）／W大阪

Although I was not staying at the W, the MIXup cafe is a fun spot in the middle of Osaka to have a tea or coffee and their amazing dessert(s). I was looking to try their seasonal dessert, the strawberry mille feuille, although it was already sold out when I arrived. This gives me another reason to return soon! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, I was swiftly shown to my table that I reserved ahead of time (thanks, Marriott Bonvoy), and was walked through the menu and how their orders work. Many teas to choose from, and the cake I chose was plated so beautifully. The chantilly cream with the berries - out of this world! The entire experience was smooth, and I was delighted with the level of service provided. In a way, this is "normal" and expected for Japan, but I want to highlight that I really enjoyed this visit and look forward to going back.

Funky café attached to the W Hotel. Very decadent desserts and great staff.

A cafe located on the first floor of the W Hotel. I used it for a spring strawberry afternoon tea. The store was also very clean and tidy, and the cutlery was very colorful, which made me feel excited. 2 types of savory, mini hamburger and ham croissant, strawberry sweets There were a lot of strawberries, so the portion was just right without being too sweet in the mouth. Also, the staff were all kind and hospitable, making the stay very comfortable. I want to go again.
