    Absolutely love this coffee & coffee shop. So much space - perfect for social distancing during the pandemic. Fantastic coffee & bakery items. In the same building as Token Pizzeria as well. A great place to go buy yourself to read a book or to go with friends to hang out for the afternoon. They also sell “make it at home” coffee packets that are Brooklyn Roasting Company’s beans. I absolutely love these! They also sell other Brooklyn Roasting Company mercy - perfect for holiday gifts. Love this shop!

    Like Starbucks but cooler. The space is huge and looks like a refurbished warehouse. There are lots of people with laptops. The Maple Shay Shay (espresso, maple syrup & steamed milk) tastes great. However, if you're looking for light-roasted specialty coffee, there are better options in Osaka. The espresso drinks here are made with dark-roasted beans. Moreover, they don't have pour-over, only batch brew. When we visited, the coffee they were using for batch brew was a medium-light roast from Indonesia. Not bad but too chocolatey for my taste. The worst part is that all their drinks are served in single-use paper or plastic cups. I only got a proper mug after explicitly asking for it. As an environmentally conscious consumer, I won't come back.

    It about 4.3 but I rounded it off. Western style coffee shop. Nice place to hang out with your friends. The vibe here is good and chill. The cafe is located under train way so you can here dingding sound when there are train pass by. They decorated a tall Christmas tree inside the shop during the festive season. Really cool. #cafe#coffee

    Lovely place for coffee and chill out. It felt like a cyclist Cafe! And yes you are able to park your bicycle outside! Recommend to come by for the vibe, whereas the coffee it's ok. Decent enough and the only ingredients that's missing the milk. Try a few milk brand, u will evalute the coffee experience.

    Amazing coffee and I loved the cinnamon buns. The price of the coffee is a bit expensive but that’s just the Japanese good coffee prices. I’d love to work here on my laptop but the wifi throws you out every ten minutes which is incredibly annoying and makes it impossible to work productively here.

    Great coffee, nice vibe, good music. Coffee is roasting on site. A self-service cafe with plenty of seats and a place for parking bikes. 150 yen off second coffee on weekdays. Great place to work if you don't mind louder music.

    Café right under the train tracks! Such a cool and hip place with great coffee options :) Price was reasonable, had their drip coffee and egg sandwich. I was expecting for a warm toasted version but was given in a packed version, although it says freshly made by the company. Good place to people watch as well as working on your laptop. Wifi and plug points provided. Clean environment and toilets. The only part was the music which was way too loud.

    Still one of my favourite spots in namba even if the service is slow. I am always puzzled by their "do you really need lids?" environmental sign when all their drinks are served in disposable cups. Great coffee though.

    Hip locale under the tracks, hipstery staff, and the rich smell of freshly roasted coffee. I would highly recommend the coffee as it is excellently done but the pastries and sandwiches are just good. Side note: please throw away your trash in the bins on your way out. It's embarrassing to watch fellow Americans and the French couple that were there just walk out and leave their garbage on the table.

    Place is convenient right beside our hotel. Cafe is huge with loads of seating place. Coffee was great, cinnamon roll was soft and sweetness level was just right.

  • 5/5 Joe Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent large coffee shop that is perfect for getting some work done or hanging out with friends. The attached, but not attached, but attached bakery at the other end is also excellent!

  • 5/5 Francis T. 6 months ago on Google
    Great coffee, some of the best I've ever had. Smooth, strong, but not acidic or too left field. The entire vibe of the place really has the Brooklyn vibes, especially with the Metro running right above once every few minutes giving you the full rumble of the trains. Music is also popping off, and there's ple ty of seating. I'm in love with this cafe

    Really nice coffee. They have oat milk and Bonsoy! The staff are friendly and kind. The seating is not so comfortable but it's spacious. I bought some decaf drip bags to take home and it was good as well! (Nov/2023)

  • 5/5 Itzco C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good proper coffee with two kinds of beans to choose from. Beautiful and spacious. A perfect place to work without being disturbed, plus plugs are everywhere. Evening very happening, full of the young and beautiful!

    I travel the world seeking the best coffee ( Australian style espresso) and I found it at Brooklyn Roasting Company. I could choose from a selection of beans to satisfy my palate. The atmosphere and large space is funky and I swear they had my playlist for the music. If you have a passion for coffee then this place should be on your radar.

    Good latte and very yummy affogato. Very spacious and lots of seats. Very chill atmosphere as well. Nice place to chill from the summer heat for long hours.

    THE GOOD: The cinnamon roll was soft and fresh. THE BAD: Ordered a cappuccino, tasted more like milk with some coffee in it. THE UGLY: I asked the barista if maybe they could add a little coffee form the drip dispenser to make my cappuccino taste better and she said they couldn’t. Overall don’t come here for good coffee. Come here for bad coffee. Brooklyn would be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Pia J. 10 months ago on Google
    Western style Cafe with dark lighting and 80s american music. Got a cappuccino which was a bit too citrusy for my liking. It's nice to kill time here though and if you get hungry, there's stalls selling pizza at the end of the venue.

  • 5/5 Supakij K. 9 months ago on Google
    Good cafe, Great taste coffee and superb atmosphere. I got coffee drip, Ethiopia. Located under the train tract. Big seating space. Recommend for coffee lover and cafe hop in.

  • 5/5 Mark L. 8 months ago on Google
    Dang homie that was some sick coffee. I love coffee and this certainly was some top tier primo stuff. The vibe of this joint is pretty dope too. Sick sofas that I desperately want to buy and have in my house, cool pop up stores that I guess people like buying from, a pizza shop in the back that had "buffalo chicken" pizza dang I want to try that, and some other stuff. Whatever it is cool. Sell your shares in Starbucks so you can get some good good. The end.

    The coffees are good. The place is cozy with a lot of tables available. Just slightly noisy as the trains are above the cafe

    Had the ice latte Peru bean, was ok. Cookie seems pretty sweet more for use to complement your coffee or dip in. Almost all the tables here have socket plugs so it's very work friendly.

  • 4/5 Hiroki I. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice to come by for a cuppa. There is a big space inside so you can easily take a seat. Also a nice place to get a take away coffee and snacks.

  • 4/5 Matthew O. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice clean place, good tasting coffee. Latte art limited but I’m sure they will get better with practice. On the whole very nice. Will definitely come again

    This is easily one of my favourite coffee shops in Japan. I ordered an iced maple shay shay and a croissant. The coffee is GREAT, they have a PIZZA BAR, and the shop is located right under the railway. You might feel the trains passing by from time to time, but it isn’t really that distracting. They have big tables for people working and comfy sofas for people who just want to chill and relax.

  • 4/5 Dan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice coffee with a really great space. If you want to work while having coffee and pizza, this is the place to be.

  • 4/5 Nicholas H. 1 year ago on Google
    Western style coffee chain store. Lively atmosphere, a little noisy being under a railway line. Nice coffee. Glacially slow service (20 minute wait for 2x large latté). Free wifi. Window bench seats have power outlets. Crowded on weekends.

  • 4/5 Thao T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cool spot to hang out with friends. I wouldn’t get my study done here though, the music is quite loud and the place is packed at some certain time hence you might be distracted by the surroundings.

  • 5/5 Komson S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with variety of good coffee

  • 3/5 Joshua E. 1 year ago on Google
    Not bad coffee, a bit pricy, also I felt the beans didn't really match the drink I ordered. Overall wasn't too impressed with anything. Borderline 4star rating, but probably wouldn't go back so I'm giving 3 stars.

  • 5/5 Karl F. 6 years ago on Google
    Very hip place with nice long wooden tables that is perfect for remote work. It is usually quiet on the mornings and you can work here and enjoy a coffee without feeling too crowded. It does get crowded in the weekends though. They also have great music, some old tunes from the 80s and really nice stereo sound. However, the best thing is the coffee, this is probably the best place to get a cappuccino in Osaka, usually I find espressos in Japan to be too weak but here it offers nice strong coffee tastes. The soy version still needs a bit of work though.

  • 5/5 CW M. 6 years ago on Google
    A great place to have coffee and chill out!This was an unexpected find on my trip to Osaka! Really good coffee in a cool, trendy and stylish setting. Friendly and helpful staff to boot. A wonderful place to start the day! ^^

  • 3/5 Rebeccah F. 5 years ago on Google
    Huge space, trendy and comfortable this cafe will be liked by most people. Large tables and sofas provide plenty of space which is much needed when a lot of space is taken up by individuals who buy one drink and sit for hours. The coffee is supposed to be amazing however it is hard to taste as the soy milk (extra ¥100) so disgusting. When will these 'high quality cafes' think of non-dairy drinkers and use alternativs that do not detract from the coffee; after all that's what we're here for. Disappointing.
