Vegetable curry lunch with salad and coffee for ¥1,100 - and it even came with dessert. Great value for money! This place is a cake specialty shop on the first floor. It had been 10 months since my last visit, and the food was still delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, mainly attracting couples and groups. The staff are particularly soothing and provide natural and friendly service.

Morning with complimentary balm until 11:30 at the cake shop cafe. If you like brand and American style, you can have free refills. Today's special is bacon toast for ¥682, with a blend coffee. The set includes toast, bacon, egg, salad, and dessert. There are two dessert options, so please check the menu before ordering. I always end up choosing the same thing because I'm greedy (laughs). It seems reasonable to choose the set with dessert included. The melon cakes are now available for ¥1500, which may seem pricey, but they are delicious. Both the cakes and balm are tasty, so please give them a try. ❤️

I arrived at Nagata Station without having lunch. Although I could have gone straight to my destination, I thought it would be better to eat properly. I looked around and found this charming cafe. The atmosphere inside was lively and bustling, even though it was past 1 pm. I decided to order the lunch special, which was a set with hamburger and fried egg for ¥800. The price was reasonable considering the quality. Since I was on a business trip, I opened my laptop to do some work, but the food arrived quickly. I had to close my laptop in a hurry. The hamburger lunch was quite traditional, with a bit more spaghetti than usual - perhaps a Nagoya style touch. The taste was pleasantly ordinary, just like the hamburgers you would expect from a cafe. It may not satisfy those looking for a gourmet experience, but it was a comforting lunch. The cafe had a calming atmosphere and comfortable seating. I didn't know it was a chain restaurant, but I wish there was one near my daily life. It's a great place for a weekday lunch or a casual tea time with friends.

There is a famous cake shop right outside the Chuo Line Nagata Station exit, known for their Baumkuchen. The second floor is a cafe where you can enjoy breakfast and lunch. I tried the morning set for 880 yen, which included a croissant, raisin bread, scrambled eggs, 2 sausages, mini salad, yogurt, dessert, and coffee. It was a great value with a lot of food. And of course, the dessert included Baumkuchen! 😊

Special Morning set for ¥880. Hot order includes salad, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt with raisins, crispy croissant, and a moist and sweet dessert. You can have unlimited coffee refills for ¥100 after the first cup. The yogurt portion is generous with cornflakes included. Add strawberry jam for extra flavor. It's funny how I always order the same menu every time (laughs). Previously, I couldn't earn points using PayPay, but now both methods work. Today, I used my points for payment. You can also earn LINE points.

I ordered a special breakfast set for ¥880 at 9:30 in the morning. It was a lot of food! The set included raisin toast, croissant, salad, scrambled eggs, 2 sausages, yogurt with cornflakes, banana, and two types of baumkuchen with fruits. This was my only meal for the day. I was wondering where to start eating from. I used a croissant napkin just in case. I always think I shouldn't be too greedy with my food choices. The scrambled eggs portion was huge and the bread was crispy and delicious. The yogurt had cornflakes in it, which I don't like, so I removed them and added jam instead. Before trying to reduce food waste, I need to listen to my stomach and think about my food choices. It was a delicious meal, and I enjoyed it.

Today's lunchtime was around Nagata Station on the Chuo Line of the subway. I remembered a lovely cake shop and cafe I had visited before near Nagata Station in Higashi Osaka City, so I decided to go there for lunch. The name of the shop is "Le Jardin d'or." It may not stand out from the outside, but it is indeed a charming cake shop. The cafe is on the second floor, accessed by a beautiful spiral staircase. Luckily, there was no wait for a table, and I made it just in time for the morning menu. I asked about the difference between the salad in the salad set and the salad in the soup set, and was told they are different. The food was served promptly, and my initial impression was "this is amazing!" The morning menu is available until 11:30, which was great for a lunch substitute. The set included toast with margarine and strawberry jam, as well as a separate dessert set with baumkuchen, gateau chocolat, fruits (banana, grapes, kiwi, blueberries, orange), and whipped cream. The main salad was generously portioned in a bowl. What surprised me even more was that refills of the blend coffee and American coffee were free, and additional cups were only 110 yen each! All of this for just 660 yen. It was a highly satisfying lunchtime with the morning set. Today, I am grateful for my healthy body.

I chose this shop for a morning treat for my mother who not only loves sweet things but also tends to consume excessive amounts of sugar. The morning menu in Osaka generally gives off a cheap impression, but at this Lujandor shop, the quality of the items seems to have driven the prices even lower. They offer two types of bread, raisin bread, and croissant, along with scrambled eggs, sausage, salad, yogurt, and dessert. The dessert includes fruits, baumkuchen, and cake, piling on the sugar for a spike in blood sugar levels. As someone who doesn't usually eat breakfast, I felt like I exceeded my daily calorie intake. The popular shop quickly filled up upon opening, and the satisfying content lived up to the hype. I left feeling full and didn't feel hungry until the evening. Thank you for the feast!

Hamburg steak with teppanyaki demi-glace sauce for 770 yen. Rice for 165 yen. Blend coffee for 440 yen. The restaurant is usually crowded, but there were empty seats due to the rain. The hamburg steak here is cooked on a hot plate, which helps keep it warm.

The announcement mentioned that it would take some time for the Katsu sandwich and iced coffee, but I decided to proceed with the order. It definitely took some time, but the freshly fried and made dishes were delicious. The Katsu was quite thick and satisfying.

Hamburg Steak (on a hot plate) 770 yen Rice (small) 165 yen Iced Coffee 440 yen The hamburg steak here is served on a hot plate, so it stays warm until you finish it, which is a great point. The meat quality is clearly different from the last time I had it. The size is also smaller, making it feel more like a portion of Napolitan. It was ready in about 5 minutes. I'll ask the staff about the differences on my next visit!

Today, I took a rare frontal shot of the train(o^^o) I had the bacon toast set for ¥580 at a cake shop for breakfast. There are 3 types of morning sets that come with dessert, and I want to try the special one, but it's amazing (ーー；) It's right after you go up from the Central Line exit 4^ ^ There's a new Pinocchio nearby, but I prefer Rujandoru^ ^ The toast is crispy and delicious. You can have a refill of hot coffee, so let's order hot for the sweets^ ^ The coffee is easy to drink and comes with 2 types of balm^ ^ I'm so happy♡ It's hard to eat it all by yourself if you buy it to take home, so it's best for breakfast or dinner (lol) It comes with pineapple, orange, apple, kiwi, and blueberries, which is great for someone who likes hard textures(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) They could even add some balm scraps, it's that delicious^ ^

Hamburg steak (on hot plate) with demi-glace sauce (770), cheese topping (+50 yen), and rice as a side. The first photo is a bit blurry due to the delicious smoke coming from the hamburg steak. The hot plate kept the food warm for a long time, allowing us to savor every bite. Thank you for the meal.

First lunch out ^ ^ The special morning menu was not available anymore, due to not making it in time for breakfast (lol). Stuck in traffic, decided to have lunch instead. Ordered a sandwich set with drink and dessert while in traffic. It includes a cake for under 380 yen after 5 p.m., which sounds appealing. Wonder if it has balm in it like the morning menu? Exciting to find out (o^^o). It does have balm! Roast beef sandwich for 979 yen, with well-seasoned soup. The sandwich, drink, and dessert (balm, banana, kiwi, orange, cream puff) were all delicious. The custard on top of the cream puff was especially tasty. The cake was good too, but the balm was the highlight. This place is affordable, tasty, and cozy.

Rujandoru is a chain of Western confectionery stores with 5 locations centered around Higashi Osaka City. In addition to selling sweets, they also have a cafe where you can enjoy breakfast. Upon entering, you go up a long staircase to the second floor. The atmosphere is stylish and elegant, and the customers seem refined. I ordered the Soup Set for 682 yen, which came with toast, a drink, salad, and dessert. The Baumkuchen was particularly delicious, especially when eaten with fresh cream. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the experience. I look forward to visiting their other branches in the future.

In front of Nagata Station, there is a sweets shop called Legendre2F that also has a restaurant where you can enjoy sweets and lunch. The showcase is filled with a variety of cakes, baked goods, and bento boxes, making it a fun experience to choose from. I ended up taking out a lot of items... (^ ^;; The soft cakes are easy to eat, and you can easily have 2 or 3 pieces! The baked goods also go well with tea or coffee and were delicious!

Lunch time! I didn't plan my lunch menu properly after finishing my morning routine (ーー；) I decided to go for roast beef with a drink and dessert, similar to a morning set. The roast beef was very filling and the large tomato was a nice touch. The bread was perfectly baked too. I couldn't open my mouth wide enough to eat it all (lol). The meal came with coffee, soup, and dessert. I had a Mont Blanc dessert with green tea balm, banana, orange, kiwi, blueberry, strawberry, and chocolate chiffon. The Mont Blanc had custard and chestnut at the bottom, which was delicious. The green tea balm was okay, with a strong green tea flavor. Overall, I had a satisfying lunch experience with a Loco Moco dish for around 1000 yen, including dessert and drink. Great value for delicious food! (〃ω〃)

This time, I visited "Rujandoru Nagata Store" in Higashi-Osaka City. The location is right next to Nagata Station on the subway Chuo Line, so it's easy to find. They also have a parking lot at the back, so you can park with peace of mind. This shop is famous for its Baumkuchen, but this time I bought three types of Mont Blanc. Order: 1. Mont Blanc 460 yen 2. Beniharuka Mont Blanc 450 yen 3. Premium Mont Blanc 580 yen → Personally, the Premium Mont Blanc was delicious (of course, it's expensive! haha), and the Beniharuka Mont Blanc scored high. This shop has a second floor where you can eat in a stylish atmosphere, so I recommend it. Various credit cards and PayPay are accepted. Thank you for the meal.

2022: Third Visit♪ Embarrassingly, I turned ○○ years old this month, so my dad took pity on me (laughs) and bought a cake for me! (*^-^*)★ Strawberry shortcake♪ Wow, it's beautiful! The overall color balance is amazing~ When I took a bite... Hmm? The cream and sponge cake melt in my mouth!(^^)! It has a light sweetness, and the strawberries are delicious too! Truly, cakes from popular shops are a cut above the rest, aren't they? (^^♪

Good afternoon in March 2022! "Tomorrow is Hinamatsuri!" my wife said with a smile. "I'm going to make chirashi sushi!" So we lined up and bought some. I got a special Mont Blanc shortcake, which was enough for lunch. Sweets and food are separate stomachs, after all. It's the girls' Hinamatsuri... Congratulations! It was delicious. Thank you for the meal! ❤️
