neel 中崎町店

【Foodholic Nako @ Osaka, Japan】

There are many cafes around Nakazakicho, perfect for an afternoon stroll and a cup of coffee. This time, we chose to come here in the morning for brunch, opting for the popular café "neel Nakazakicho."

The signature of "neel Nakazakicho" is a pear, and both the exterior and interior design have a wooden style. The entrance alone makes you want to take a ton of photos.

Pork Cutlet Sandwich ¥1480
This sandwich is enormous, much larger than it appears in the photo. When we each ordered one, we were shocked by the size upon arrival. I strongly suggest sharing one between two people. Although the pork cutlet is thick, the meat is quite tough and feels hard to chew. Honestly, the only thing worth trying in the whole pork cutlet sandwich was that little bowl of rich soup, which was incredibly creamy and delicious, but unfortunately, it seems you can't order it separately.

Sweet Cream Crepe ¥610
I was expecting a softer French crepe, but the edges were already crispy thin to the point of being like a cookie, and everything fell apart, making it hard to eat with just a knife and fork. However, the crepe combined with the cream was really delicious and gave a sense of happiness.

Matcha Latte ¥760
This isn't your typical café's matcha milk; it has espresso added, giving it a slight bitterness. I personally think it tastes better. I highly recommend this drink!
