A hidden gem. Totally worth walking a couple of minutes outside of the touristic centre for! The food is absolutely amazing and the coffee tastes great too. The place is run by one elderly woman (she doesn't look a day over 40 ) who does all the cooking and baking, and is also the barrista. She is a lovely lady with a great Kansai sense of humour. She will make sure everything is perfect for you. Great breakfast, brunch or lunch options! And I can definitely recommend the chiffon cake as a dessert! One of the best I've ever had.

Not many breakfast options in this area, so our family was happy to find cafe issui. Basic options in a cozy environment. Dine in only, no takeaway.

意外搜尋到這家早餐店,氛圍輕鬆西式; 老闆娘很有智慧地問我們是不是住附近,雖然很明顯我們就是觀光客~ 我們回:是從遙遠的台灣來的 她說:哇,那真是辛苦你們了 蛋包飯強力推薦 飯炒到得很有彈性有嚼勁 早餐套餐650好吃又便宜

八幡堀散策?(観光)でぶらりと立ち寄りました。 清潔で雰囲気の良いお店です。何よりマダムが美しくて見惚れてしまいました。 もちろんシフォンケーキセットもとても美味しくいただきました。
