The storefront looks like a traditional shop with sliding doors, but inside, it's a modern and industrial-style Korean cafe. They serve cute muffins and waffles. I tried the waffle topped with strawberry daifuku, and it was delicious, especially when warm. The coffee was also really good. Located near a maze-like shopping street in Tsuruhashi, it might be easier to find if you enter from the main street leading to Koreatown.

A cafe with a stylish interior of exposed concrete that you wouldn't expect from its appearance. It can seat around 10-14 people, and it was full when we arrived, with people waiting on pipe chairs. It seems to be a popular cafe. We only had coffee as we stopped by after lunch and didn't have room for dessert, but it was delicious.

I heard that a café opened in the Tsuruhashi shopping street, so I went to check it out! It's a nice spot around here. I was happy to find a place to have tea after leisurely shopping! Surprisingly, it's quite stylish and seems like it will become popular among those exploring Koreatown! The shop is a bit hidden in the back, which gives it a nice hidden gem feel. The Croffles, which are the talk of the town, were delicious!

I came to Koreatown with my daughter to have tea. It was a bit difficult to find the place without Google, but we finally discovered it after wandering around. We ordered at the counter and received our drinks first. The muffin was around 400 yen, and the waffle was 600 yen. Inside, there were plain concrete block chairs and tables. Soon, the waffle and muffin were brought to us. The waffle was slightly warm. As for the taste, the muffin was a bit dry and had air bubbles in some parts. The waffle was hard. It seems like you pay for the appearance and atmosphere. However, my daughter was delighted and kept saying how delicious everything was after taking photos from various angles. So, let's consider it a good experience. Thank you for the meal!

I finally had the chance to visit a cafe I had been wanting to go to for a while. It was a stylish and modern cafe ☕✨ The coffee and muffin I ordered were delicious. I had a great time enjoying my cafe hopping experience. Thank you for the delicious meal once again.

The products are all cute and on-trend, mostly from Korea. I was torn between choices!

This makes me believe that their coffee must be delicious too! I'll have to try it next time ♡ I was able to relax in the simple interior ♡ It was delicious ♡ Thank you for the meal ♡ I will visit again ♡

Shelter Coffee, which recently relocated from its previous location near the old coffee stand, is a hidden gem that may be hard to find without a map. Despite its somewhat obscure location, it is a popular spot with customers constantly coming in. The small shop only has 5 seats, so during busy times there is a 45-minute time limit. You order and pay at the counter, and then the staff brings your order to your seat. The croffles seem to be a popular menu item, but I only had a drink this time. They have a one-drink minimum policy, so you can't just order croffles or pastries. I had an iced cafe latte for ¥450. The shop didn't have the logo sticker of the girl seen on Instagram, but a simpler logo sticker. I also got a "Kumafin" muffin to go, which was adorable and cost ¥380 each. There were three flavors available: white bear, black bear, and marble (which is only available on weekends). I chose the white bear and black bear, and they were surprisingly large and had plenty of chocolate chips inside. The black bear was tastier because of the abundance of chocolate chips. However, the muffin was quite soft and crumbly, so be careful when taking it home. Mine was a bit of a mess by the time I got home, but I was glad I took a picture at the shop!

It was delicious, I want to go again in the winter. Even if it freezes, the iced Americano.

It was a stylish cafe near Tsuruhashi Station, and it was just so cute!

In May 2018, SHELTERCOFFEESTAND opened in Osaka, Tsuruhashi. Since then, they have expanded their cafe space and opened a second location called "SHELTERCOFFEE" on May 2nd. Unfortunately, I missed the reception invitation from friends and acquaintances due to a scheduling error. However, I had a chance to visit the new location and chat with the owner. The new cafe is stylish and cool, with a simple design that allows for social distancing with 5 seats available. The floor is decorated with the word "SHELTER," showcasing the owner's taste. The menu includes popular drinks crafted by the talented barista owner, as well as in-demand sweets like the "kuma muffin" featuring a cute bear face. The new takeout cup stickers have been redesigned, and the new logo is also stylish. I was able to photograph the sold-out kuma muffin alongside a latte. They also offer waffle-based menu items that were not available at the previous location. If you're interested, I recommend visiting early to capture photos of the sweets you want.

It was delicious!
