Review Summary

Osmo X Marusan is described as a visually striking, club‑like cafe that blends Japanese inspired sandos, curry bowls and drinks with a strong coffee and matcha scene, attracting a young, studious crowd and often becoming a lively, crowded space. The atmosphere is frequently praised for its architecture, skylights and terrace, sometimes with a DJ or vinyl vibe, but the overall level of noise and activity can make it hard to study or have a quiet meal. The menu features crowd favorites like tamago sando, karaage sando and katsu curry, with matcha and hojicha drinks earning consistent praise, though some reviews note small portions, bland elements or variable quality and long waits during peak times. Service quality ranges from friendly and attentive to slow or uneven, contributing to mixed overall impressions. Taken together, the place shines for its unique vibe, drinks and creative sandwiches and is often recommended for a social visit or a first experience, while not being ideal for those seeking a quiet, quick meal or a predictable cafe routine.

Super ambiance. Petit restaurant insolite, caché au milieu de la ville, avec une super terrasse. Service rapide, accueil chaleureux. Un endroit agréable où on peut se poser & prendre le temps d'apprécier une.pause avec un.e ami.e

Came for the egg sandwich, stayed for the CURRY! Egg sando was definitely good, but I was blown away by the depth of flavor in the curry. It was a cold day & it warmed my soul. Will definitely be coming back with friends to show them my cool new find. Chai Latte was epic. Wish I took pictures, everything looked great, but I was super hungry haha

I enjoyed my veg curry. The only thing I’d say is I think the tofu had this airy dry texture & bland taste that made it require a lot of sauce to get the flavour & satisfying mouth bite right & while there was just enough sauce for that, i think it would have benefitted from more added to the bowl. The sauce was great : it had the flavour of a special curry & the texture of a lobster sauce. The pickled veg was a nice addition & the portion of rice was generous. I really appreciated the care that went into the green tea latte. It was my first time trying one & now my standards are high: wouldn’t settle for anything less fluffy, creamy & rich in that green tea powder. My friends & I sat on the terrace in the mid-fall so the wasps seemed to finally have gone on to other destinations & we were able to enjoy a peaceful lunch on a nice day thanks to the big picnic benches & calm minimalist modern atmosphere secluded from the streets. I paid at the front & paid tip before knowing I would have to go outside & wait & then come back to get my own tray to bring to my table outside which was all a bit difficult to navigate because when I left my table someone else took it because I couldn’t leave my stuff there unattended & if I had to have been carrying things with me other than my backpack & Fanny pack lol I may have dropped stuff or my tray but luckily no accidents happened. When my three friends ordered after me they were given a number & the waiter brought them their food & drinks. Seems like the logic is a bit backwards so hopefully this feedback is taken into consideration. I’d definitely come back to try other menu items especially on a day or evening with a dj

This spot draws a nice crowd, & for good reason. The food & drinks are masterfully made & presented, pricing is unpretentious, staff are good peoples & the playlist is curated for both efficient work & conversation. I can’t fault it here.

Enjoyed their tamago sando a lot, good iced latte too.
The only thing I didn't enjoy in particular were the jalapenos in the karaage sando, but that's a matter of preference.
The decor feels more like a cantine (netal tables & chairs), so wasn't that great but lovely place to have lunch nonetheless.

Been here twice now. Can't beat the atmosphere!
First time I came I had a vegan dish I can't remember the name of. But it was really good & well portioned! Second time I had a matcha latte as I wasn't as hungry as my boyfriend was. Haha. He loves the chicken - Karaage dish.
The biggest win is that this place is dog friendly! Even inside the building. We are thankful that we don't have to leave our dog in the car or eat in the car.

Great egg sandwich, but the drinks are a bit watered down & pricy for what they are. Really cool place to work or study though.
