Hidden Gem in Osaka: Afternoon Tea in a Secret Garden
I’ve completely fallen for "Calm Garden"! Tucked away in a residential area of Hirano Ward, Osaka, this treasure of a café feels like a secret garden in the city 🌿
Walking through its unassuming entrance feels like stepping into a fairytale. The European-style tables and chairs in the garden are perfect for photos, capturing an exotic vibe effortlessly! The interior is also full of thoughtful details, showcasing the owner’s creativity✨
The highlight is the afternoon tea! Their parfaits, which require advance booking on the official website, feature monthly seasonal themes. I visited during the autumn chestnut season, and every dessert was a delightful surprise with layers of chestnut flavors 🥧 The afternoon tea set costs 3,600 yen per person (including drinks), and you can order additional drinks to try more. For Osaka, the value is quite impressive!
If you don’t make a reservation, you can still walk in to order desserts à la carte, as well as sandwiches and main dishes 🥪 With an average spend of 1,000–2,000 yen per person, you can enjoy the serene atmosphere. The café is open until 5:00 PM, making it perfect for a relaxed afternoon gathering. I’ve heard their Christmas specials are coming soon, with reservations opening on the 27th—time to snag their Christmas parfait 🎄
If you’re traveling to Osaka and want to escape the crowds for some peaceful moments, this spot is definitely worth bookmarking!
