Exquisite sweets in Yoyogi-Uehara
Yoyogi-Uehara has many cafes and bakeries where you can enjoy delicious sweets, but the taste of specialty shops is still exceptional. We will introduce three shops that we particularly recommend for cakes, parfaits, and donuts.
Asterisk, a famous shop for beautiful and delicious Uehara sweets
Yoyogi-Uehara's most popular cake shop is run by Izumi Koichi, who was the long-time chef and pastry chef at Chofu's famous Salon de the Cerise. The cakes look beautiful and have a rich taste that will have you hooked once you try them. The open kitchen is also rare, allowing you to see the lively atmosphere of the cakes being made, along with the sweet aromas. Not only cakes, but baked goods, chocolates, jellies, etc. are all beautifully presented and packaged very stylishly, so they are sure to make a great gift.

Bienvenue is very popular for its seasonal fruit parfaits and cakes.
The most popular item is the seasonal parfait. Packed with seasonal fruits, the parfaits are not only beautiful to look at, but also have an exquisite combination. The mille-feuille, which has different fruits inside depending on the season, has a superb harmony of crispness and fruit. In the summer, the unique fruit shaved ice is also popular. The eat-in cafe seats are always full, but reservations are available, so reservations are a must on weekends.

Haritz, a gentle-tasting donut that can only be found here
This popular donut shop has the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese cafe tucked away in an alleyway, typical of Yoyogi-Uehara. The most distinctive feature of this donut is the soft dough that doesn't feel oily at all. It's soft enough to melt in your mouth, and has an exquisite aroma and sweetness. In a word, it's the kind of gentle donut you've never eaten before. You can eat inside the shop, so be sure to try the freshly made delicacy.
