About this place
The black cat-shaped Chat Noir cake is a choice for anyone drawn not only to its appearance but also to a chocolate-forward flavour. One diner described it as a sweet chocolate coating around chocolate mousse, with a little vanilla mousse and crisp chocolate for contrast. Its layers and textures make it a good match for coffee, too.
For a cake to mark a special occasion, the whole tart made with Kotoka strawberries is another standout. One customer praised the strawberries, whipped cream, custard and pastry in their own right, recalling choosing it for the day they came home from hospital after giving birth and for a child's birthday. They wrote that it was a cake they would want to eat every year. Strawberry shortcake and strawberry tart also appear on the menu as single-slice alternatives to a whole cake.
For a take-home treat, the black cat financier assortment includes plain, chocolate and pistachio flavours, making it easy to offer a mix as a gift. The plain financier is made with butter and almond powder, and is described as crisp on the outside and moist within. There is also a small eat-in area for a break with cake and a drink, although one visitor's account notes that seating is limited. The cake set lets you choose a cake from the display case and pair it with a drink.
