I have been to this place with my boyfriend, we had the famous egg sandwich, tea & coffee! Everything was delicious, the ambiance is soo fun! I came back last week for the Christmas market & again, the vibes are immaculate 💓

My hojicha latte was great, I just wish the music was slightly quieter for a better studying environment. The loudness (with the added sound of people talking) made it a bit distracting. Will be back to try the food next time!

Un très beau café au design unique, avec un menu d'inspiration japonaise qui se démarque. L'endroit est populaire auprès des étudiants, donc ce n'est pas l'adresse idéale si on cherche un moment calme.

Nous avons pris un matcha & un osmo fog, tous deux bien exécutés. Les sando étaient bons, mais manquaient un peu de saveur selon moi.

Malgré tout, l'expérience globale reste plaisante & je retournerai chez Osmo x Marusan sans hésiter.

Really interesting looking place, the vibes are so cool. Definitely targeted to a younger university-aged crowd though. Also very loud at times. There's a dB meter that helps you keep track at least.

Excellent teas & the food is amazing! Also a good place to work, with a nice terrace in the back that's perfect in the summer.

Came here with my boyfriend on a Thursday afternoon & it was super packed with people studying but they were able to clear a seat for us to eat. 10/10 service for that!

We got the Karaage Sando & Tamago Sando. We found the tamago sando a bit plain, wish it had a bit more salt or maybe chili crisp 🤔🤔🤔. However, the karaage was delicious. We also shared a Hojicha Latte which was suuuper yummy, definitely recommend that.

It's a nice small cosy café in my Neighbourhood, which I have never seen before I discovered it because it's kind of like a hidden Café. I've tried their much with lavender, which was tasting good. Also, they had nice sandwiches. I haven't tried yet, but they looked very good. Maybe next time I will try that too.

The place is littered with laptops & people out overextend their stays. Choose your time wisely if you plan to visit this hidden gem. Feels more like a library with food than a great café with food.

Limited seating time would be a great suggestion for this place.
