AI Spot Summary
The dishes, such as the fruit mille-feuille cake and the cheese sweet potato pasta, have an excellent texture. The bread has a strong flour aroma, and the meal combo brings a satisfying feeling. The strawberry mille-feuille cake's whipped cream is not overly sweet, balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the strawberries. The pasta set is abundant.
Located in the Lucua department store in Umeda, the atmosphere is suitable for afternoon tea, with most customers being local girls. The environment is comfortable.
The bathroom is a bit far away and you need to walk to the other side.
Reviews
Review from a brace-wearer: The restroom is a bit far away on the other side.
This is the Afternoon Tea LOVE & TABLE LUCUA Osaka branch. I had a mille-feuille cake in Tokyo before and thought it was pretty good, so I specifically sought out the Osaka location this time. It's a bit rare to find this series of shops, so I consider myself quite lucky.
Currently, it's the seasonal strawberry festival, so of course I had to order the strawberry mille-feuille cake. The mille-feuille is still delicious, with the fresh cream not being overly sweet and balancing perfectly with the sweetness of the strawberries.
Additionally, we ordered two pasta set meals:
Pasta Smoked Chicken
Pasta Organic Tomato
The set meals come with salad, bread, and a drink, and you can also choose to add half a slice of cake. Overall, it's quite a generous offering.
Total amount: 6,171 yen.

Japan's popular afternoon tea features a signature fruit mille-feuille cake🍰
I've loved this place since the days of afternoon tea in Taiwan, and it's even better in Japan!

It's located inside the easily navigable Lucua department store in Umeda. On weekdays, most diners are Japanese women, ranging from grandmothers to mothers with babies enjoying afternoon tea.

🍰 Fruit Mille-Feuille Cake Set (¥2,046 + 275):
This cake is the highlight of my visit to this shop 🤩🤩
Although it's not cheap, it offers a very satisfying experience.
Surprisingly, the layers of the mille-feuille are filled with delicious cream, making the overall cake not overly sweet; the fruit is also fresh and tasty.
Additionally, there's a drink included, and I upgraded to a seasonal item—a combination of grapes and black tea—you have to pour it over ice yourself. It's refreshing and not sweet.
