Basque cheesecake with smoked honey at "allée," Omotesando's hottest sweets store. Read in Japanese

allée

We visited "allée," a sweet cafe tucked away in a back alley in Omotesando that is currently the talk of the town. Located behind the long-established bookstore "Sanyodo Bookstore," just a 2-minute walk from Omotesando Station Exit A3, the store has attracted attention from the media and SNS for its relaxed atmosphere and exquisite cheesecakes that can only be enjoyed here.

Basque cheesecake with smoked honey is very popular.

The store's signature menu item is the Basque cheesecake with smoked honey. The grilled surface and the rich, moist, melt-in-your-mouth texture of the center are truly one-of-a-kind.

The smoked honey used is produced by "One Drop Farm," a beekeeping farm in Chiba. The honey has a natural floral aroma and is cold-smoked to give the cheesecake a rich, smoky aroma that adds depth and lingering flavor.

A quality hideout space where adults can feel at home

The interior is cozy, with a counter seating four and a table seating nine. The refined white-based interior, combined with the inorganic feel of concrete, makes the space feel like a wine bar. The dimness of the space, with natural light softly shining in, is also comfortable, making it a relaxing space for adults.

On that day, many people were quietly enjoying sweets alone, spending a relaxing time in the calm atmosphere.

Excellent pairing with specialty coffee

We were served with an iced "Coeur de Bleu". The coffee, poured into a beautiful glass like a wine glass, rose with a fruity acidity and aroma, making it a perfect match for the cheesecake.

The original blend "Ale" with spices is also recommended. The aroma of cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and other spices warms the heart.

For brewing, we use special equipment such as the "Silverton" and "Milk Brew" to bring out the rich flavor of specialty coffees.

Other baked goods and cakes are also noteworthy.

In addition to the "Basque Cheesecake with Smoked Honey," the lineup includes a wide variety of baked goods such as "Crepes," "Cream Puffs," and "American Cherry Cake.

When I visited, many people were also purchasing cream puffs, and I was impressed by the style in which the cream puffs are filled with cream and served on the spot.

Take-out and online purchase are available

In-store sweets can be taken out, and whole cakes (smoked honey/chestnut/strawberry, etc.) and baked goods can be purchased in the online store. They also make great gifts and souvenirs. The beautiful packaging is another attraction.

Service with a keen sense of detail

Even the plates, cutlery, and water glasses used to serve the sweets are beautifully arranged, showing the delicate care taken to enhance the mood of visitors.

Coffee utensils are displayed in front of the counter, creating the illusion of a cup floating in midair. The staff, mostly women, were also impressive for their courteous service.
