GLITCH COFFEE Osaka

Opened it’s doors in June of 2022 is ‘Glitch Coffee Osaka’, the third branch of the extremely popular Glitch Coffee brand. The café is located on the groundfloor of the Conrad Hotel in the Festival tower [WEST], on a 4 minute walk from Yotsubashi Line’s Higobashi station (exit 4). Glitch Coffee was launched back in 2015 with a small coffee specialty shop in Jimbocho, Tokyo and grew quickly in popularity, becoming one of the ‘must visit’ cafes for coffee lovers all around the world. In February of 2020, the second branch was opened right next to Nagoya station which also saw a similar popularity. Now in 2022 it’s time for the third branch to challenge the Kansai coffee scene.

The Osaka branch differs from the other two as it doesn’t have it’s own shop but instead is a coffee counter island and seating area located under the escalators of the Conrad Hotel Lobby. The interior is very spacious with a high ceiling and combines retro and urban interior design with beautiful antique furniture pieces. The coffee counter island has a beautiful C-shaped wood counter and the sides have stylish wood paneling. The café area consists of various tables, chairs and sofa’s all with a different shape and size as well as a sideboard with a record player on top providing the background music for the cafe. The hall has ceiling to floor windows that let in a lot of natural light which gives the café a comfortable atmosphere.

The menu consists mostly of Glitch’s specialty coffee as well as one non-coffee drink (applejuice). The coffee is delivered in a nice ceramic cup and small glass decanter on the side on a wooden tray that also includes a card with the information of the ordered coffee beans.

Glitch Coffee is a stylish coffee stand with comfortable seats where coffee lovers can relax and enjoy their drink. The café opens early morning (08:00 am) and is accessible for people in wheelchairs.
