Lemon meringue tart, with coffee 1200yen. This is a casual cafe of the French restaurant Pierre Gagnaire where I had lunch before. The cake set is a bit expensive for the quality but then the cafe is on the first floor of Shin-marunouchi building where everything is expensive.
Part of the cake menu here.

Mont Blanc made from Japanese chestnut. Chestnut paste on top, cream in the middle, and merengue at the bottom. Very good and not too sweet overall. The house blend coffee included in the cake set(1200yen) is very nice too. Such a cozy little cafe in the middle of Ginza.
Went back again twice after having dinner in Ginza. It is opened til 23:30 so rather handy. Though they don’t do cake+drink sets at night.
Cheese cake is soft and creamy. Mille-feuille is a bad choice…don’t order it.
Mont Blanc again. New kind of chestnut since Oct and much richer than last time. Strawberry cake is not bad.
Drink menu(J) here.

シブースト・キャラメル（中にはみかんのコンポート）。
Ciboust caramel(orange compote in the middle). Simple but good.
サントノーレキャラメル。 タルト・ポンム・カシス。
Saint Honoré Caramel. Tarte Pomme(apple) Cassis.
Both are popular items and get sold out quickly so I called up in advance to reserve. Both are very nice! It was very busy on a Sunday afternoon so we had to wait for a bit to get a table. My friends ordered the weekend-only dessert plates and they looked great. Going to try that next time.
Mango mousse cake.
Green apple mousse tart. Chocolate tart with praline cream inside and passion fruit cream on top - wonderful!

Chocolate tart is rich yet not too sweet. Very nice! Herb tea “Spice” is good too.
Dessert plate with nut souffle(in the cup) and chocolate souffle. The chocolate is not as rich as I had expected, and the souffle is not that fluffy. Tried the other herb tea “Fruit”. I like “Spice” better. This place is a chocolatier and the menu offers chocolate chaud drink(about 1300yen) and you can also pick the chocolates from the showcase and eat in the cafe. Prepare to pay at least 2000yen for a dessert and a drink though. The shop is inside Shimaru building.

モンテ ビアンコ、￥５００。ババ。
From two separate visits.
Monte Bianco. Italian version of Mont Blanc. Bottom is merengue, then chestnut paste, topped with a mountain of cream. Nice but….too sweet! Even the cream is sweetened. It is very big too. I only managed to eat half. Baba with lemon liquor.
カフェミスティ、￥１１００。
Dessert plate with espresso-flavoured sorbet, ice-cream, mousse and semi-freddo in a cup shape. Not bad. Very strong espresso taste. Though it doesn’t look as nice as the picture in the menu…^^;;
Menu: 1, 2, 3.

金銀財宝、￥５００。
Not kakigori, not sorbet, but “snowflake ice” apparently. Originated from Taiwan. It does feels very fluffy and feathery. I had the one with mango and mango sauce on it. The shop is in the middle of the busiest street in Akihabara.
