TAKAGIYA

I visited expecting some gluten-free/vegan-friendly sweets and light meals. But surprisingly! It was set up so that people with various allergies could find something OK — items without nuts, items without soy, etc. — with each made by changing ingredients! Truly grateful! Made by hand with attention to organic, domestic natural ingredients. For the seat count, the chilled glass case with cakes is large — a cozy interior that gives the impression of a patisserie that started eat-in. ■ Gluten-Free Plant-Based Veggie Tacos No eggs, dairy, wheat flour, or white sugar; the plant-based crepe was sweeter than expected but not too sweet, and rice-flour gave it a chewy texture. Being plant-based, it's light after eating, so I greedily ended up ordering 2 sweets (lol). ■ Basque Cheesecake With higher egg ratio for being gluten-free, the flavor was custardy with little cheese feel? I've been sugar-free for a long time and this was my first basque, so I can't judge if it's correct as basque flavor, but I love burnt bits and custard so I was satisfied. ■ Henny Named after using Hennessy — a Mont Blanc. Uses 100% fresh milk with no plant cream — said to be quality you can normally eat after thawing from frozen. Neither cake is too sweet. The size is small, so apparently many people order 2 alone (lol). ■ Forest Coffee The iced coffee I ordered as a crepe set drink is Cafe Paulista's Forest Coffee (grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers). They also sell drip filter packs. As iced coffee, the flavor is very deep and rich. They reportedly moved to the current location from the other side of Hakusan-dori in Sugamo 10 years ago, and at that time changed to gluten-free style. Started in response to customer requests, so they carefully accommodate what specifications you need. R&B-centric records decorate the walls, with soulful BGM, and even the drink coasters have record designs ♪
