Not worth the money and the trip

The cakes are small, pricey and NOT fresh!

When you enter the cafe you get seated, they put an QR code on your table and tell you to order from it and vanish off into the kitchen not to be seen again until they bring out your order.

We waited over 30 min for our cakes because they decided to tend to customers that came 10 min after us first.

They wrote that it takes about 10-15 min to finish an order because they make everything freshly. If they mean 'thaw the frozen cakes' with that then they are correct.
The cakes we received were still frozen in the middle and it was kind of an mess to eat.

The creams were tasty and the (unfrozen) chiffon was fluffy. The tarte of the montblanc was more of an almond cookie. It tasted good but was really hard and dry. Impossible to eat without destroying the whole thing.
The tiramisu was sad. It consisted of whipped cream, dry chocolate chiffon and cocoa cornflakes in an plastic cup. The top tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge without being covered.

Everything lookes beautiful and didn't taste bad but paying 800¥ for an half frozen cake that you have to wait for for over 30 min...

Alrightish, but pricy

This is a very cute place with very friendly staff. The cake I had was alright, though not great, and the coffee was less than alright. The price for both was rather high (around 1700 yen combined). I have no gluten issues, so I don't know how being gluten-free impacts the price, so please take that into account.

Slightly disappointed

Appearance 5 stars but taste wise it’s slightly disappointing. The chocolate cake and soya tart was not bad but the strawberry cake was very plane.
In summery wouldn’t go back again

Really love their strawberry shortcakes!

Can’t believe their cakes are gluten free and vegan, they are my absolute fave and I always get them as a special treat! It’s pricey but worth every penny.

Pros: Vegan and gluten free sweets

Cons: A little expensive

Fantastic vegan desserts

We had the creme caramel and a strawberry tarte, they were delicious! The creme caramel was probably the best I’ve had! Definitely worth going out of your way if you would like a variety of delicately made vegan sweets.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious , Friendly staff

Lovely cafe with delicious cakes and coffee

I stumbled upon this place in the way to the Tanuki Temple on the main road from Ichijoji Station. The cakes and coffee were delicious and the waiter was lovely. Even got to try the ice cream. The vegan cakes are all soy based and they have gluten free options also. Can be ordered too.

Pros: Delicious cakes and coffee, Nice and calm setting, Staff understand vegan
