01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

The shop's signature mille-feuille is assembled strictly to order, piping luscious cream between layers of pastry so the crispness remains at its peak. The fragrant, airy puff pastry combines with generous, smooth cream, delivering a deeply satisfying dessert best enjoyed shortly after takeaway.

The petit gâteaux in the showcase highlight thoughtful contrasts of flavour and texture across each layer. The Pistache Rouge combines aromatic pistachio mousse with tangy berry jelly and a crisp sablé base, offering dimension while dissolving smoothly on the palate. Other options cater to varied tastes, from the Rich Chocolat with its dense mouthfeel and bittersweet cocoa depth, to seasonal fruit tarts pairing bright fruit acidity with an aromatic pastry shell.

For casual daily treats, popular picks include custard-filled sablé choux and the soft, melting TAGU pudding layered with fresh cream. The baked confectionery selection also provides versatile choices for gifts and afternoon tea, featuring diamants, florentines, and rum-and-brandy raisin butter sandwiches.

A street-facing window offers a peek inside at the pastry counter, framed by calming Tiffany-blue walls. With support for major credit cards, electronic money, and QR code payments, CAKE TAGU makes a convenient stop for takeaway while shopping around Saiin Station or heading home from work.
