Café American

4.0

A coffee shop located near Dotonbori in Osaka City. This renowned shop was chosen for the Living Architecture Museum Osaka Selection list of exciting architectural designs sponsored by the Osaka municipal government. The retro-modern style, reminiscent of a ritzy café in business for ages, is decorated with eye-catching and luxurious chandeliers and a spiral staircase. The shop’s signature old fashioned hotcakes are made with a unique blend of flours. At American, you can enjoy these hotcakes with a cup of house-roasted, aromatic coffee in an atmosphere that will make you think you’ve traveled back in time to Japan’s Showa period.
