| - Amazing, just amazing! It's a small bakery, but packs a punch. We ordered the matcha chiffon cake (a light cake), and Osaka style strawberry roll cake. I asked the owner...who I assume is the baker as well, what Osaka style means. She basically said it's a simplistic roll cake where there isn't any frosting or any decor on the outer layer, rather there is only a filling inside. Honestly, both cakes were winners for me, but I did prefer the roll cake (it was different from anything I have tried). They both taste, texture-wise, very moist...as if she baked/made it 5 minutes ago! The chiffon was a perfect balance of matcha, not too bitter or strong, and not too sweet. It was just right. The strawberry roll cake was just heavenly...like holy, how do you make cakes that moist??
For me, when it comes to dessert, I don't like it super sweet or crazily rich. I sort of like the subtle taste...nothing over the top. Little Pebbles just seriously hits the spot.
Anyways, it's a really cute gem in Kensington market. Just be warned there isn't a lot of seating, so prepare to stand, get the cakes to go, or wait for an empty seat.
Really recommend this spot, I want to try the dacquoise next or the macarons. This place is superb!
