cafe Merry

Black sesame Basque cheesecake is a popular choice for those drawn to its rich flavour and nutty sesame notes. Diners describe it as smooth and not too sweet, and some particularly enjoy it with cream. A coffee or latte makes a fitting companion to the cake. Black sesame is not the only cheesecake option: some visitors have enjoyed the blueberry cheesecake, while others ordered the cream sesame Basque cheesecake. On another visit, diners sampled hojicha and chocolate Basque cheesecakes. The selection may vary, but there are different flavours to choose from, whether you are in the mood for sesame, fruit or tea.

One diner praised a vanilla bean latte for its interplay of bitterness and sweetness, while another enjoyed the vanilla café au lait. You could choose a sweeter drink to go with your cake, or let the coffee take centre stage. For a non-coffee option, a visitor described the hibiscus apple tea as sweet and tart. The café also offers a wide selection of teas, making them another option to pair with a slice of cake.

Some visitors have stopped in for cake and a drink after lunch; others came in for a break after walking. It is a convenient place to pause, with seating for dining in and cakes available to take away. If you are exploring the area around Tsuruhashi Korea Town, you can take a moment to choose a cake and drink along the way.
