I had some time to spare before dinner, so I took a little break and came to this shop. It's located in Umeda, where everywhere is crowded, but this place always has seats available, which is quite handy for me. Even though there are a lot of people, the shop has a simple layout with plenty of seating, and there's also a Starbucks nearby, so it feels less crowded. Super helpful! (Visited around 5:40 PM on a Sunday) We secured seats and then went to order at the counter, where there were about 3-4 groups ahead of us. --- Taste Review --- Him: Drip Coffee (Iced) 550 yen Me: Homemade Lemonade 650 yen The lemonade was a bit more sour than I expected, but once I got used to it, it was just right. They gave us a card with a 2-hour seating limit when we received our items. Once we finished our drinks, we returned the card at the designated spot next to the return slot. The fact that there's also a Tsutaya bookstore attached to the shop might be why it's relatively quiet despite the crowd, which is also nice. It feels like an oasis in the city center, and I quite like it. I'll definitely come back when I need a break again!

A restaurant where you want to go with your loved ones. You can spend time in a relaxed atmosphere. It's a great place for book lovers. You can have a meal or just tea. It's nice to have a space like this, not like Starbucks. Of course, Starbucks is fine too, but it's refreshing to have a place where you can enjoy some leisure.

"LE GARAGE Umeda Tsutaya Bookstore. A cafe located in a bookstore. Free power outlets and wifi. You can bring up to 3 Tsutaya bookstore books or magazines for 90 minutes. Coffee is 605 yen. Enjoy books and coffee."

Located on the 9th floor of Lucua Ile in Umeda, this café is connected to Tsutaya Bookstore. I stopped by for a break, but it was extremely crowded on Saturday! There were couples, groups of friends, and individuals with laptops. According to their website, you can bring in books from Tsutaya Bookstore before purchasing them (up to 3 books, it seems). They have a 90-minute time limit, but looking at the card given with my coffee, it seems you can continue to use the space with a reorder. They offer free Wi-Fi and electrical outlets, but the seat we chose didn't have an outlet, so it's best to check for available outlets if you need one. It seems like a great place to spend time during quieter hours. The lemonade is popular here, and according to their website, they make it from scratch and let it mature for 72 hours before using it in their drinks. I'll definitely try the lemonade next time! Thank you for the meal!

This is a cafe attached to a bookshop called Tsutaya. Visited for the first time around 8 pm with a friend. Had a small bottle of Heineken beer for 600 yen, a baked cheesecake for 690 yen, and added tea for 250 yen as part of the cake set. There are seats with charging outlets. Free Wifi is available. The place was not crowded, so we could relax and enjoy.

After watching a movie on April 24, I went to LE GARAGE in Lucua Ile. The company that operates it is Cafe Company, which also runs various other food and beverage establishments, including WIRED CAFE. I was surprised to learn that they also have an Iemoto Salon. The taste is typical of a chain restaurant, consistent but average.

When I ordered a ginger ale, it came in a very photogenic way! It was nice to relax and read a book.

I used this place for a nighttime meeting. I ordered a Blue Moon, but when the young male and female staff took out the bottle, something seemed to be solidified. They seemed unsure whether to serve it as it is, use the glasses on the shelf, use orange, or not. They kept whispering to each other with their backs turned to me for about 5 minutes. Eventually, the drink was served in a glass with an orange thrown in, but there was no comment on the wait, just a normal service. It may be my subjective opinion, but it wasn't a very pleasant experience. It's important to teach staff and not show mistakes to customers, but I think it would be nice to at least say a word to the customer waiting in front of you. I may have a small heart, but I think it makes a big difference. If the young male and female staff see this review, I hope they take it as a reference.

The atmosphere was relaxed and very nice. However, there were notes on the table saying that studying was not allowed, so I was unsure whether to study or not.
