Whimsical Delights at Cinnamoroll Café in Osaka
#favouritecafe
My visit to Cinnamoroll Café in Osaka was a whimsical and delightful experience. The café's charming decor, inspired by the beloved Sanrio character, created a magical atmosphere that was both fun and inviting.
I started with the pasta, which was not only delicious but also beautifully presented with cute Cinnamoroll-themed garnishes. The flavors were well-balanced, making it a satisfying dish. Next, I tried the curry rice, which was equally impressive. The curry was rich and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked, creating a comforting and hearty meal.
For dessert, I indulged in a variety of sweet treats, each one more adorable than the last. The Cinnamoroll-themed desserts were almost too cute to eat, but their delightful taste made them irresistible.
The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Cinnamoroll Café is a must-visit for fans of the character and anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience in Osaka.
TOKA COFFEE STAND
#favouritecafe
It must be admitted that every Toka location is popular with customers of all ages. For example, this third location, even though I went since the shop opened, almost all the outdoor tables were full, not only young people but also middle-aged uncles and aunts showed up early to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. The old house, the cool green chill yard, the lovely facade, how can anyone not love a coffee shop like this, especially in this cool autumn weather. Even though there is also indoor space, everyone wants to sit outside to fully enjoy the vibe of the shop. Toka is always a suitable coffee shop to hang out and chat with friends or a hiding place for freelancers who need to find an open space to work. Toka's menu focuses more on coffee and this is also one of the shops with good coffee quality. As usual, I chose a cup of creamy coffee with a strong coffee flavor, enough to wake up and start a new day kaka.

Good Coffee, Good Vibes at The FOUNDERS Hutton 💛
#favouritecafe
The FOUNDERS Hutton is one of my new favorite café discoveries in Penang! From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff, cozy vibes, and beautiful décor. I couldn’t resist ordering their iced oat latte alongside two incredible pastries: a crunchy oat bun and a biscoff-filled treat that hit the sweet spot perfectly.
The café’s spacious layout gives off a mix of modern and vintage feels—think rustic walls, creative posters on the ceiling, and a bright, open space. What truly makes this café stand out is the charming outdoor garden, complete with leafy greens and shaded seating. It feels like you’ve stepped into a mini jungle escape!
Whether you’re here for brunch, coffee, or just a quiet spot to chill, The FOUNDERS Hutton offers the perfect mix of comfort and great food. Definitely a spot worth visiting! #favouritecafes

THE WAFFLE HOUSE
#favouritecafe
The Waffle House has a true West Lake vibe, so I really like it, especially when working. However, when I first entered the shop, the smell of strawberries and apricots was quite strong, this problem needs to be fixed by the shop's kitchen exhaust area. I went on a weekday afternoon and found it quite deserted, so I enjoyed sitting even more.
The waffle shop should sell many different types of waffles from savory to sweet. After eating and drinking, I chose a sweet waffle Chocolate Sweet Waffle a chocolate waffle served with chocolate mousse, chocolate sauce and chocolate crumbs, very delicious, chef kisses and all. I wanted to try other types but when I came today, the ice cream cabinet was broken so I couldn't serve it. I promise to come back next time to have a light brunch with savory waffles (because I saw the menu had fried chicken waffles.

Where Nature Meets Coffee: A Garden Escape 🌿☕
#favouritecafe
Looking for a peaceful escape in Penang? The FOUNDERS Hutton is the place to be! This charming café has both indoor and outdoor spaces that make you feel relaxed the moment you step in. I started my visit with their refreshing lemon mint soda and an oat latte—perfect picks for a hot afternoon.
The cozy indoor space has rustic wooden furniture and quirky ceiling posters, giving it a laid-back yet artsy vibe. But the real gem is their lush outdoor garden. Picture comfy seats, shady umbrellas, and the sound of leaves rustling—a hidden oasis in the city! 🌳 I sat back and enjoyed my drink while soaking in the serene greenery.
Their pastries and buns, especially the almond croissant and biscoff bun, are a must-try too—fresh, flaky, and delicious. If you’re looking for a beautiful, calm café to unwind and recharge, The FOUNDERS Hutton will not disappoint.

ROLLING BEANS
#favouritecafe
A brand new coffee shop for the brothers in Chua Lang area. The space of the shop is quite beautiful with two spacious floors, a wide frontage that leaves an impression even if you just accidentally pass by.
Rolling Beans has two floors, many seats for you to choose from, so during the day it will be suitable for studying/working, and at night/weekends it will be a space to gather and chat with friends. With the main wood tone combined with lots of green trees, the shop gives me a cozy vibe, not too fussy but still impresses first-time guests.
The 2nd floor has a seating area overlooking the bustling Chua Lang street, which is also quite chill. You can come and try it out. As much as I praise the space, I criticize the drinks. I ordered a cold brew apricot but couldn't drink more than half of it because it was bad. It's rare to find a coffee shop that makes me criticize it so bluntly like this because to be honest, I couldn't drink more than three sips even though I felt sorry for the money and kept telling me to try to drink a few more sips. I don't know if it's because I'm too stingy or what. I haven't tried the other dishes, so I can't say that all the drinks at the shop are bad. Therefore, I hope the cold brew apricot will be reviewed and adjusted to be more suitable.

What stood out the most was the café's relaxing vibe, featuring artsy walls, hanging greenery, and warm lights that made the space feel welcoming. The "Love to life is like the wind to the Pinwheel" wall mural caught my eye—it’s an Instagram-worthy spot for sure!

80+ COFFEE ROASTER
#favouritecafe
A newly opened coffee shop located right across from the Temple of Literature. The space of the shop is small and pretty, not too many seats, so it is suitable for going to coffee alone or with a small group of friends. In fact, the shop is decorated quite simply, but this minimalism is suitable for the area of the shop, at the same time, the shop wants to target customers to enjoy coffee instead of taking check-in photos.
My favorite point is probably the expensive view, I like to sit close to the glass window to work and look over to Nguyen Thai Hoc street, it's so beautiful. Although the area is limited, the shop also tries to arrange many power outlets/hangers to serve customers who need to work/study. I saw the shop's bio "Specialty Coffee" - after researching, 80plus has traditional coffee, coldbrew, fruit tea, etc. Overall, the menu is quite diverse for you to choose from. I tried cold brew and found it quite mild. I was going to order more pour over but it was too hot that day so I put it off. Let's make an appointment for another day to try the delicious coffee.

EGGYOLK SPECIALTY COFFEE
#favouritecafe
Eggyolk has a new location on Chan Cam Street - a street that is beautiful in every season, not just in autumn. At first glance, I thought this was Eggyolk's smallest location, but that's not the case. With a total of 4 main floors and a mezzanine, Eggyolk has "fooled" us with its modest, small facade that fits the mood of Chan Cam Street. The interior space has a characteristic orange tone combined with gray walls, creating a modern and unique Eggyolk look. Each floor of the shop has a balcony, which makes the space brighter and more spacious.
From these balcony corners, you will have a full view of Chan Cam Street, chilling to the max (I also took a few photos on the balcony of the shop, hehe). For me, this is the most beautiful of the four locations, centrally located, eye-catching set up to suit all needs, it is not surprising that the shop will attract quite a number of customers in the near future. Eggyolk is famous for its delicious egg coffee, this time the shop has added an iced version to suit the hot weather. I suggest ordering a croissant to go with it, the croissant here deserves to be on the list of croissant that is both beautiful in appearance and delicious in quality. In addition, Eggyolk also serves savory food to stave off hunger or if you want to date for brunch on the weekend.

UNIVERSAL TEA
#favouritecafe
F&B Hanoi, although it has only been open for a few days, the "hotness" of the shop has been clearly shown through the number of people visiting. True to its name "Universal", the shop serves many different types of tea with diverse flavors from selected tea leaves in famous tea growing regions around the world such as Kenya, Ha Giang, Taiwan, etc. The shop space is designed in a minimalist style, thanks to the large glass windows, the space is bright and airy. Personally, I think the shop will be suitable for working/working dates on weekday mornings or gathering with friends on weekends. I like the shop's merchandise display corner the most, it is suitable for the space and delicately impresses customers. Although it is a milk tea shop, it is a table service model, although there are many customers, I noticed that the staff have been trained to handle situations and take care of customers quite well. Some of the tea lines I ordered were quite impressive, such as Fujian Tea, Kenya Black Milk Tea and Oolong Milk Tea.
Universal Tea is one of the few tea brands that left me with an impression of the tea flavor, not too strong to cause discomfort but not bland either. If you notice on the lid of the cup, there will be a round hole for you to participate in the challenge of "sticking the guy in the right round hole". It sounds like a goat but it's not. In addition, each cup will come with a cup sleeve containing positive messages, even though it's just a small detail, but for those who pay attention like.

I decided to try a variety of dishes, starting with the laksa pasta. This fusion dish was a pleasant surprise, combining the rich, spicy flavors of traditional laksa with perfectly cooked pasta. It was a harmonious blend of East meets West.
Next, I enjoyed the fish and chips, which were crispy and golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. The dish was served with a side of tartar sauce that complemented the fish beautifully. Lastly, the grilled salmon pasta was a standout. The salmon was grilled to perfection, and the pasta was tossed in a light, flavorful sauce that tied the dish together.
The service was excellent, with attentive staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Niimies Café is a must-visit for anyone in Johor looking for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere.
