Cafè Noesis Shinsaibashi is a basement cafe connected directly to Exit 3 of Shinsaibashi Station, serving coffee and food. The menu includes curry, BLT, pizza toast, and hotcakes, with payment made in advance at the counter. Before noon the cafe holds about three people, but after 12 p.m. it fills with middle-aged women and office workers. Smoking is permitted at every seat, so the interior is filled with cigarette smoke.
