I thoroughly enjoyed the Gorgonzola cake at this cafe. The Camembert cake, while boasting a delightful texture, didn't quite deliver the pronounced Camembert cheese flavor I anticipated. However, my husband insisted it had a straightforward Camembert taste. The Americano was also a delicious addition to the experience. The ambiance is inviting, offering both Western-style seating and tatami seating areas. If you have a penchant for cheese and cheesecakes, I highly recommend a visit to this cafe. UPD: I also tried their pistachio aragosta, but was disappointed as there was zero pistachio flavor. Otherwise, the texture wasn't bad.

以前百貨店の催事でチーズケーキをいただき、美味しさに感動したので今回は実際に店舗を訪問。席の予約が出来たので待たずに入店。どのお料理も独創性があり、特にゴルゴンゾーラの使い方が秀逸だと感じました。ボリュームもたっぷりで大満足です。また機会を作って伺います。ごちそうさまでした。

おやつで訪問 場所は茅ヶ崎駅を海側に出てすぐにある 高砂通りを茅ヶ崎市美術館の方へ 歩いていく途中にあるオシャレな 集合住宅の1階にあります。 この日は茅ヶ崎市立美術館でやってた 現代芸術過ぎてちょっとクセが強い 「フランシス真悟」の展示を観た帰りに ふらっと寄れて休めるカフェを探して このお店に伺ってみた。 頼んだのは、 スペシャリティコーヒー 800円 ゴルゴンゾーラチーズケーキ 850円 まずコーヒーだけど 少し酸味が強いフルーティーなコーヒーで 確かにさっぱりと飲める感じ。 スイーツとの相性がいいやつ。 次にゴルゴンゾーラチーズのチーズケーキ。 こちらを食べてみるとまずチーズが濃厚!! そしてゴルゴンゾーラな風味もしっかりあって クセも凄いある味わいかな。 ただ、はちみつをかけて食べると クワトロフォルマッジな味わいで美味しい! まさしく名物なのを実感する味で チーズケーキ好きならたまらないと思う。 まぁそんな感じで、、、 クセが強い個性的な展示を観た後には ちょうどいいぐらいに個性的でクセがある スイーツが食べれるお店だったかなwww 取り敢えず手作り感があって個性的な チーズケーキが好きならハマるお店かも。
