Tucked inside the basement of Osaka Station’s Third Building, Cafe Sunshine has been a nostalgic staple for over 50 years. This old-school kissaten charms with its burnt-orange booths, counter seats, and a timeless breakfast menu that attracts commuters, regulars, and retro café enthusiasts alike. Their fluffy tamago sandwiches and classic "morning sets" — toast, egg, salad, and a cup of strong coffee — are served with warm, no-fuss hospitality. The atmosphere echoes Japan’s Showa era, complete with polished wood, jazz playing softly, and a slow, comforting rhythm that provides a break from the busy Umeda area. Whether for breakfast, a coffee break, or a solo read, Cafe Sunshine remains one of the city’s most beloved hideaways.
