Enjoy a luxurious breakfast in Osaka’s Namba – BAKE & Cafe Bar “UNREAL”

Hello, I’m Rina, a writer for Kodawari Times.
This might be sudden, but are you a rice person or a bread person for breakfast?
I’m definitely a bread person! So this time, I’m introducing a new bakery cafe that just opened in Osaka. Bread lovers will be thrilled, and even rice lovers are sure to be satisfied with their luxurious breakfast menu—be sure to check it out!

 

Sister brand of the popular Bono Bakery in Osaka’s Horie

UNREAL, a new cafe that opened on September 9, 2025, is the first cafe brand developed by Bone Inc. Located in Namba, a premier Osaka tourist destination attracting visitors from around the world, this cafe bar brimming with an extraordinary atmosphere has emerged along the Dotonbori River, just a short distance from the iconic Glico sign.

Bone Inc. is a company based in Osaka that develops products and branding for restaurants. In January 2022, it opened “Bono Bakery” in Osaka’s Horie district. Its signature “fresh bagels,” featuring a uniquely springy texture achieved through an original production method, have become a hugely popular item, selling one every 20 seconds.

BAKE & Cafe Bar “UNREAL,” born as a sister store to that popular bakery, offers a menu themed around “enjoying a travel breakfast in Osaka,” featuring the appeal of breads like fresh bagels.

This time, Kodawari Times attended a preview tasting event ahead of the opening and brings you this report.

At 11 a.m. on September 3rd, upon arriving at the building housing UNREAL, an atmosphere of quiet stillness prevailed—hardly believable given the bustling commercial district right next door.
Ascending to the second floor, a refined space unfolds: soft natural light filters into the stark concrete environment.

The back area features terrace seating where you can relax and feel time slow down while gazing at the Dotonbori River. In the morning, enjoy a revitalizing breakfast bathed in sunlight to fuel your day, and in the evening, unwind with drinks in a moody atmosphere that soothes the day’s fatigue.

I felt it was a space that stimulates the senses, where you can discover something new every time you visit, as its appearance changes between morning and night.

 

Signature Breakfast Menu

Now, let me introduce the breakfast menu you’ve been wondering about!
At the tasting event, we sampled four menu items and two drinks, so I’ll report on each one.

Rice Flour Vegan Bagel Sandwich

This luxurious sandwich features our popular “Rice Flour Fresh Bagel,” created by Bono Bakery in response to popular demand, generously filled with colorful vegetables. Made with a body-friendly gluten-free recipe, it’s a satisfying yet healthy choice. Take a bite and experience the uniquely soft and chewy texture of this innovative bagel, allowing you to savor the pure, natural flavors of the assorted vegetables.

Wagyu Bagel Sandwich

A luxurious sandwich featuring a homemade Wagyu beef patty layered with grilled onions, fresh tomatoes, and rich cheddar cheese, all nestled inside a fresh bagel. This hearty bagel sandwich delivers the authentic, deep flavor of premium beef. Perfect for those who want to dig in heartily first thing in the morning!

Tomato & Scrambled Eggs Over Toast

Fluffy and chewy white bread topped generously with mozzarella, then capped with a Scrambled Eggs—this is an over-the-top toast. With a juicy texture reminiscent of French toast, an unprecedented flavor and mouthfeel spreads throughout your mouth. It’s so delicious it makes you smile uncontrollably.

Avocado and Omelet Croissant Plate

A luxurious plate combining homemade croissants, a soft-boiled omelet, avocado, and a creamy mushroom sauce infused with porcini aroma. The elegant butter aroma pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce. Both visually and in taste, it’s utterly indulgent—a dish packed with the delicate flavors of Western cuisine.

Drink

UNREAL also puts a lot of effort into their drinks!
On this day, I ordered the original drinks “UNREAL Aerocano” and “Matcha Latte”.

UNREAL Aerocano (right photo) offers a café au lait-like flavor with the gentle sweetness of vanilla syrup. Creamy and smooth, it pairs perfectly with bread.

On the other hand, the Matcha Latte (left photo) is a luxurious drink where matcha is carefully whisked fresh for each cup. The flavor of domestic matcha blends perfectly with the mellow milk, creating an authentic latte that’s not overly sweet. Matcha lovers should definitely give this a try!!

 

Enjoy Bakery Tourism in Osaka

UNREAL offers authentic bakery goods and coffee. Their morning set was so good it made me want to make a special trip just to eat it! Why not incorporate some bakery tourism into your Osaka trip?

The morning set is available starting at 8:00 AM, and it’s a great spot for those who sleep in a bit, as it works perfectly for brunch too! It’s an ideal location for anyone staying in Shinsaibashi or Namba. If you’re looking to enjoy a luxurious breakfast and spend an elegant morning, definitely give it a try!

If you can’t make it in the morning, no worries! UNREAL also operates as a cafe and bar! They take their drinks seriously, offering rare selections like carefully curated craft beers and craft gins, along with tasty snacks. Non-alcoholic options are available for those who don’t drink! The menu is also in English, so you can relax.
