    Very good place to chill nearby the river. Good coffee and light food. Recommended to try tiramisu (contains alcohol). Terrace side is the best place to take picture

    Nice coffee joint on the water. The place has a clean design to decompress, sip coffee, and enjoy one of their tasty pastries. There are three levels with outdoor seating on the main level and water views on the enclosed second floor. One note, the upstairs room is a little echoey, so if you want to have a quiet conversation maybe the other floors are better suited for that. I got the single origin which was Ethiopian beans, however they rotate the beans on a weekly basis. I also indulged in a cinnamon powdered sugar covered, banana Nutella filled, croissant. Prices were reasonable and service was good.

    Moto Cafe offers a picturesque terrace with a lovely view, perfect for enjoying your coffee or meal. However, the wait time for a table can be a bit long, which can slightly dampen the experience. Nevertheless, once seated, the ambiance and offerings make up for it. A great spot for those who appreciate both scenery and good food!

    I recently visited Moto Coffee, and I must say, it’s a gem for coffee enthusiasts seeking a picturesque view. Situated by the river with a stunning bridge in sight, it offers a delightful atmosphere for relaxation. The Good: 1. Coffee Quality: The coffee here is exceptional. The aroma and taste are top-notch, making it a go-to place for coffee lovers. 2. Scenic Location: The cafe’s prime location by the river and the bridge is unbeatable. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the beautiful surroundings. 3. Quick Takeaway: If you’re in a hurry, their takeaway service is impressively efficient. You can enjoy their great coffee even if you can’t find a seat right away. The Not-So-Good: 1. Long Queues: On busy days, you might find a long queue for seating. Be prepared to wait for a bit if you want to secure a table with a view. Moto coffee is a haven for those who appreciate quality brews and breathtaking views. It’s an ideal place for both a leisurely coffee break and a quick caffeine fix on the go. Just be ready for some waiting during peak hours, but the experience is well worth it!

    Everything I mean everything here is scrumptious! The texture and freshness of the bread and bagels is delicious. On top of that a seat in the terrace is lovely! The staff is very kind and cordial. You’ll be well cared for at this Coffee shop🫶🏼

    Very nice and cozy environment. Didn't get a seat with view though :( Tiramisu and pudding were good. Toast was delicious. Especially love Earl Grey tea.

    Excellent coffee. I had a cappuccino and it was perfect. Great textured milk. Nice micro-foam. Both the tiramisu and gateau chocolat were delicious.

    Ambiance: beautiful view, good choice of music (light classical guitar, satie on nylon), separate intimate rooms, good service. 9/10 Espresso: Soft flavours, mild bitter, mild acidic, round body, little fragrance. 6/10 Cappucino: round, full, good milk, good foam. A solid 8/10 Croissant: crusty, a bit dry, creamy mashed banana, middle quality sugary chocolate, well balanced as a whole. Slightly overbaked A good 7/10

    Nice cafe with a lovely view over the Tosahori river. Has a big menu and delicious sweets. Friendly staff. Next time I want to try the terrace seats. Extremely popular so expect waiting times.

    This cute place was between the Rose Garden and Yodoyobashi station so we stopped to take a look. There's a deck facing the water but it was full, then two more levels above with nice views. The cafe smelled of good coffee but their specialty are pourovers and we were looking for espresso. No harm trying. My wife ordered a dark roast flat white and I got the default cappuccino. And we shared a slice of matcha tiramisu. We were seated on the 2nd level (which is accessible from another door outside the cafe brewing area. Three tables with views of the water and the Osaka town hall. Cappuccino looked good but was just too milky. No real taste of coffee. The flat white came in a matcha tea type bowl (cute) and was also too milky. The tiramisu was pretty decent with nice flavours of matcha and just right level of sweet. The place is very pleasant to relax but if I find back, it'll be to try their pourovers. They need a darker roast and more shots for the milk based drinks.

    This cafe delivers both good coffee and splendid riverside view. So you can expect it to be popular and crowded. The most popular sitting is the terrace by the river. Unfortunately it is very hard to come by. We were led to 2nd floor after placing our order, and there was a big window that overlooks the river - it was serendipitous. My flat white was mellow with subtle notes in a balanced velvety way. The matcha tiramisu was just as you’ll expect it, with bitter tartness in a sweet creamy mix. Yummy!

    Nice cozy place with views over the bridge and the river. You should get there before they open. We arrived 10 minutes before and still had to wait a bit in line. We couldn’t sit on the terrace because it was already full. They offered us to sit inside. We went to the 2nd floor and sat by a huge window with a great view of the river and people walking across the bridge. Btw, mushroom & ham sandwich was delicious 🤤

  • 5/5 Samantha N. 5 years ago on Google
    Super pretty but be prepared to wait. It's a very small cafe so you'll have to wait your turn. The outdoor seating is right next to the river but there is only space for around 4-6 tables. Please order the tiramisu, it was good.

  • 1/5 Dear R. 6 months ago on Google
    Poor service. I was waiting for outside table. There is only one available seat outside so I ask to wait for another seat outside. I can wait. But staff said you can’t wait, there is only one seat that you can sit. Then she told me to sit inside at underground floor. No view. No mood for take photo. No suggestion. Disappointed.

  • 4/5 Mark M. 5 years ago on Google
    The best part was the view. I enjoyed my latte but it had a rather bland flavor compared to cafés that I would give a 5 star to. I still recommend if you want to relax by the water, if seating is available.

  • 4/5 Jessie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Small cafe. Waited for a bit before I was led to my seat, as I told them I only wanted seat at the terrace. It was worth the wait. I scored the best seat. Great view. When I visited, it was a little cold to be sitting outdoor, but there's a heater near my feet and there are also blanket available.

  • 5/5 Mabda N. 7 months ago on Google
    It’s very aesthetic cafe, the location is close to the river and bridge, adding to the beautiful impression. very easy to find as it is near the bridge. Maybe because it's beautiful, lots of customers come here, so it takes quite a long time to queue. Maybe it will be very suitable if you come in the afternoon.

  • 3/5 A O. 5 years ago on Google
    The patio is adorable and amazing view. Super tiny. They only take cash and it's a bit pricy so very inconvenient to pay cash. Very little selection on the pastries. Don't go here if you are looking for breakfast or hungry. Staff could have been nicer. We have flew hours and spending money in their city and helping local business. So give us more gratitude.

  • 4/5 Misun L. 11 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed the weather in terrace. The coffee was not favorful; not bitter nor sour. The tiramisu had a strong alchohol taste(too bitter as a dessert). It might be better to use a mixture of Kahlua as well as coffee extract. However, I would like to come back because of the atmosphere. It seemed busy during lunch time. Try to avoid that time. Paid 1100yen: coffee nd tiramisu

    Service was excellent. Food price is affordable and make sure you make a reservation before visit to the cafe.

  • 5/5 Apolline L. 1 year ago on Google
    A very cute cafe, with inside and outside seats, all allowing you to enjoy the view of the river. The coffee is good, I took a tamago sando which was delicious! The place might be crowded depending on what time you go there, but I definitely recommend it !

  • 3/5 Arthur L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to chill. Coffee not particularly special and no non-dairy options. Would be good if they are more inclusive.

👍👍 Go to the basement floor which has all kinds of food stalls and specialty stores. Go there an hour before closing and most of the packaged food items will be discounted like 30% or Y300 off. It’s great deal for budget travel. They also have very good yogurt drinks and other bakery items.

👍👍 Had to wait ~15 min to enter at 10am on a Friday. The beef curry rice was ok. The pancake was nothing special, borderline disappointing. The cafe au lait was decent though. The star of the show was the french toast. It has this melt in your mouth sensation which was quite unique. Felt like eating...
