I wanted to eat lots of fruits, so I went to a fruit buffet. I was hoping for muscat grapes and grape varieties, but it was a little late in the season, so unfortunately they were not available this time. They had two types of melon, oranges, pineapples, dragon fruit, mandarins, kiwi, and grapefruit. Honestly, the fruits were just average. The freshly baked pancakes and crepes were also average. The leafy salads were a bit limp. But I liked the dressing on the Cobb salad. The dessert section had sweet whipped cream for the pancakes, so I didn't eat it. The fruits were tasty, but just average. Maybe I had set my expectations too high.

Mercaparler offers an afternoon tea and buffet until 4:00 PM, after which you can enjoy parfaits and other desserts in the eat-in space at Lucua. The buffet includes a variety of fruits, such as mangoes, melons, and dragon fruits, allowing you to enjoy a fruit tasting experience. You can also create your own pancakes using the pancake and crepe batter available at the buffet, topping them with a variety of fruits and whipped cream. In addition to fruits, the dessert menu includes matcha pudding, fruit punch, and Mont Blanc. With options like vegetable salad, rice, and corn potage also available, you can keep enjoying the fruits without getting bored. Mercaparler is a recommended spot when you're craving a variety of fruits. Thank you for the delicious meal, Mercaparler!

I happened to be walking in Bal Underground when I found the Melkapa Parlor that I had been wanting to visit. It had a store in the food court, so the threshold was low. I didn't expect it to be in the food court, but it was a pleasant surprise. I went in the evening, so the selection was a bit limited, but they still had the milk crepe I was looking for. I ordered the milk crepe without any fruit toppings. The milk crepe looked really delicious with lots of fruit and cream, just like the ones you see on social media. I paired it with a black coffee. When I tried it, it had a good amount of fruit toppings, and the cream was delicious. The strawberries and kiwis were slightly sour, but overall it was tasty. There are other stores and supermarkets in this area that can be combined with a visit to this place, so I would like to go back again. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant is much smaller than it appears in the photos. The seating is close together, making it hard to enjoy a meal in peace. The fruits were delicious, but the salad and desserts were mediocre. It was strange that there was only meatballs as the main dish with white rice available.

The fruits were good, but the small sweets were disappointing. The salads at the salad bar seemed like they were just taken out of a bag and plated, except for the cucumbers. It was nice to be able to try the rare red-fleshed dragon fruit.

There was a common free space on the gourmet floor underground, and there was a corner there. The buffet was also available inside the store, but it seemed to be fully booked. Since I was mainly interested in the cakes this time, and the store seemed small, I decided to take out the cakes and eat them in the free space. It may not be suitable for those who want to have a leisurely conversation as it is difficult to know when a table will be available and it is noisy. The cakes had fresh and delicious fruits. Considering the location near Osaka Station, I think it's a good value for money. I would like to use it again if I have the chance.

A shop that specializes in sweets made with fruits. They are famous for their all-you-can-eat fruit buffet, but this time I chose pancakes. The pancakes were generously topped with fruits, but the syrup used seemed a bit like canned syrup, which made it feel a bit artificial. The tea also had a subtle bitterness due to the extraction temperature. It wasn't particularly delicious, but the atmosphere inside the shop was nice.

When I wanted to have dessert for under 1000 yen, I discovered this crepe shop! I usually only eat crepes with ice cream and fruits, so trying the Mont Blanc crepe was a first for me. I was afraid it might be too heavy without fruits, but even after eating lunch, I could easily finish it! The crepe was filled with plenty of ingredients and whipped cream, and for 650 yen, I think it's a good deal! Besides the whipped cream, there were large chestnuts on top, chestnut paste inside, and ice cream, giving it a strong chestnut flavor! Most of all, the crepe dough was chewy and just to my liking. I didn't know they offered all-you-can-eat here, so next time I go, I want to try that!

I chose the all-you-can-eat option. They quickly replenished the plates whenever they ran out, so I could eat whatever I liked as much as I wanted. The fruits were delicious, but the "pumpkin salad" was very tasty and I had seconds. There were a lot of melon-based dishes since it was summer. I would like to visit again when the seasons change!

I went for a fruit buffet before 1 pm, so I decided to get a takeout and purchased a milk crepe. There were about 4 types of fruits to choose from, and I chose melon this time. The whipped cream was not too sweet, and I could taste the sweetness of the fruits properly. The tea in the set was just okay. The cake, on the other hand, was amazing as expected from a fruit shop!

I was satisfied with the cake, but when I arrived, there was a line at the register waiting to pay, and the cashier seemed busy. I waited a few minutes at the reception, even though other staff members seemed available and made eye contact but did not guide me. In the end, the cashier guided me after the line at the register disappeared. It's a minor issue, and not all staff members are like that, but the impression was not very good.

Sweets & Fruits is a cute and bustling shop located in the Kitchen Market inside LUCUA B2. I wanted to try their Strawberry Afternoon Tea, so I made a reservation and visited. It was summer vacation, so the place was packed with many children. The whipped cream was lightly sweetened, with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness from the strawberries, and everything except the fruit sandwich was light and enjoyable. I also ordered a hot coffee as part of the set menu, which cost 300 yen. It seemed like they were fully booked for reservations today, as other customers were being turned away. It might be a good idea to make a reservation in advance depending on the day.

During the Obon period around 1 pm, I visited a popular restaurant known for its fruit buffet. Although there were a few other menu options besides the buffet, I wondered if I could eat them inside the restaurant. Since the restaurant was fully booked, I had to enjoy my meal at a seat in the food court. I tried the milk crepe for 680 yen, which had a top layer of fruits including orange, melon, and another one that I can't remember. I chose the orange. The portion looked quite big, but the cream was not too sweet, and the fruits inside were refreshing, so I finished it in no time. I would like to try it again and also visit the fruit buffet.

A cute little shop tucked away in the back of the second basement floor of Lucua. It's a bit hard to find, but once you step inside, you'll notice it's popular among younger people with a sparkly vibe. However, on a holiday like Sunday, you'll also see elderly couples and solo male dessert lovers. Many people were ordering the red birdcage afternoon tea set. They also offer all-you-can-eat options, but it seems like you need to make a reservation for that. I opted for the milk crepe because the fruits looked delicious. For tea, I chose hojicha with apple flavor. It was served in a pot and had a subtle apple taste. Despite some negative reviews I had read, the food was decent, and the service was smooth. The cute staff member who assisted us was really nice. The cake took a bit long to be served, but the young and adorable staff member made up for it. It was around 3 PM on a Sunday, and although I had made a reservation, we were able to get in smoothly without much of a wait. The place was about 80% full, but there was no line, and we could find seats easily.

I visited looking for a reservation-only afternoon tea with strawberries. I arrived on a weekday at 2:30 pm and was surprised to find the place almost full. It must be really popular! You can buy individual cakes and eat them in the free space provided. The interior was filled with people ordering the lunch buffet and afternoon tea. For only 1,738 yen including tax, you get 7 sweets and a drink, which I think is quite cheap. The sweets included strawberry sparkling drink (non-alcoholic), strawberry pancakes with condensed milk sauce, strawberry mousse, strawberry cream puff, strawberry cake, strawberry sandwich, strawberry soft serve, and strawberry tart. The actual menu may vary slightly, but I was able to get the items mentioned above. It's great that you can try a variety of sweets in small portions! They are also very cute in appearance. I'm not good at taking photos, so I couldn't capture them well. If you want to order the afternoon tea, it's better to make a reservation before going. It's recommended because you can eat a variety of things at a reasonable price.

Today's cafe review is about the "Kuidaore Report Cafe Edition". Exhausted from the scorching heat, I decided to stop by "Merca Parlor" at LUCUA Osaka to energize my body. Luckily, they still had several servings of the fruit milk crepe I was looking for, so I went inside. Despite the slightly awkward service from the staff, I managed to get my hands on the "Black Cherry Milk Crepe". It was filled with layers of banana, strawberry, grape, black cherry, and kiwi fruit - a delightful combination. The set came with a hot pot of "Cassis Fruit" tea, adding to the fruity experience. It was a relaxing time after work on a weekend that I want to cherish. Grateful for a healthy body once again today.

I visited a fruit buffet. The quality of the fruit was similar to pre-cut fruit from a supermarket or lower. The pancakes were average. The crepes were left out for too long after being cooked, so the dough hardened and couldn't be unfolded to eat. I don't think I would go back for this price.

I'm happy because it's rare to find a fruit buffet♡ In addition to pancakes, crepes, and cakes, there were also rice, salad, and meatballs, which was nice as it wasn't all sweets. I'm sorry for the messy plating. I couldn't eat much that day, so I want to go back for a rematch ( ¯ᵕ¯ )♡ They were very accommodating even with small children, thank you very much \( ˶˙˙˶)/♡

I went for lunch on a regular day and ordered the all-you-can-eat option. I made a reservation and it was great because I don't usually eat a lot of fruits. It was delicious! Maybe there weren't enough staff members because there was a shortage of sauce and water, and they seemed busy and hard to approach. But when I finally asked for help, they promptly assisted me. Overall, they were wonderful.
