Vee Sweets CAFE YOKOHAMA

Located on the 1F of APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower — a 100% plant-based & gluten-free sweets cafe. I'd been curious for a while, but it's not a place I'd come without errands. This time I happened to stay nearby, and dropped in on the way from hotel to Cosmo World. Visited during cafe time during a holiday weekend, but thanks to the rain it wasn't crowded — could spend quietly and leisurely. I ordered strawberry shortcake; my daughter, matcha ice cream. The strawberry shortcake isn't the classic sponge-and-whipped-cream type — it's a style with plain doughnut topped with a little cream and strawberry. The cream is mellow and delicious, the doughnut has a thick biscuit-like texture — cute appearance and reasonably satisfying, but considering volume and composition, honestly felt a bit pricey. The matcha ice cream has less of the typical sherbet feel found in plant-based — moist texture, delicious. My daughter was very satisfied. The shop sells chocolate terrine, dorayaki, doughnuts, and ice cream — takeout also available. The high-ceiling, naturally lit shop has Wi-Fi and outlets, and opens early. Not a place to travel far for, but convenient as a place to leisurely enjoy sweets or light meals during a hotel stay or when nearby. Since sweets are main, fullness is lower, but it's a cafe just right for a quick drop-in.
