PATHFINDER XNOBU Osaka Tenmangu

Newly opened in August 2023, just a stone’s throw from Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and Minami-Morimachi Station, you’ll find the lovely “Pathfinder XNOBU Osaka Tenmangu” cafe. This is Pathfinder’s third branch, with one in Lucua Umeda and their popular main store “Pathfinder Xnobu” in Nakazakicho area.

The Osaka Tenmangu branch is situated in a renovated house, divided into two parts: the kitchen and order counter in the main building, and the seating area and roastery in a second building just around the corner. Each building has its own unique style. The main building boasts a vintage wood exterior and a sleek, contemporary dark interior. Inside the main building, you’ll spot the iconic Pathfinder Nakazakicho menu displayed with its distinctive horizontal lines, to the right of the kitchen, small shelves offer original Pathfinder brand coffee goods for sale and at the back of the kitchen, a wood lattice construction creates a beautifully backlit atmosphere. The seating space, on the other hand, sports a clean white exterior and interior, with elegant dark sliding doors for the entrance.

The menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of coffees like Black (Long black, espresso, Orange Long Black) and White (Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Soy Latte, Almond Latte), even including a Rainbow Latte among many other choices. Soft drinks range from various sodas to Chocolate Milk (with a soy base option), Mocha, Chais, Matcha, or Houjicha Latte. For sweets lovers, there’s an array of options such as Basque Cheesecake, Donuts, Coffee Jelly, Affogato, and various cookies – something for everyone.

Conveniently located in central Osaka, Pathfinder XNOBU Osaka Tenmangu, with its friendly staff, is an absolute must-visit for both coffee aficionados and café enthusiasts alike.
