The Marni Flower Cafe is a whimsical eatery that was opened inside of its Umeda Hanky boutique in Osaka. Located on the third floor of the Japanese shop, the cafe boasts whimsical -- and of course, flower-adorned -- design details that stay true to Marni signature brand aesthetic along with a decadent menu of authentic Italian eats.
In addition to its elegant decor and tasty menu of homemade foccacia, espresso and a handful of dessert options, the Marni Flower Cafe is also home to collectible decor merchandise like lunch boxes, picnic sets and branded flasks. Featuring everything that a serious fashion lover would desire in their kitchen, the fashionable eatery is both inviting and experiential while marketing Marni's collections in a memorable way.
