How we read reviews →Japanese-style cakes baked on-site at this charming Maribyrnong gem near Highpoint.
A beautifully presented small cafe with a distinctly Japanese aesthetic. Cakes are made in-house and visible to customers, lending an artisan bakery feel. The setting is cosy and intimate, the kind of place you'd stumble upon near Highpoint and immediately want to tell your friends about. Warm and quietly elegant without being stiff.
All cakes and breads are made on-site. you can watch them being prepared behind the counter. Japanese-style construction techniques result in light, airy textures. The teddy bear latte art appears in hot chocolates. A range of signature matcha drinks uses pure matcha powder rather than premixed blends.
Strong Japanese influence in technique and style. Japanese-style cheesecakes, chiffon cakes, and matcha preparations align closely with authentic Japanese patisserie methods.
Priced at a slight premium reflecting handmade, in-house production. Most reviewers find the price justified for the quality and craftsmanship; some find portion size relative to price a consideration for the cakes.
