Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan｜cafe trecasa

I love this cafe! It’s small, and can get quite packed and busy during peak hours, so don’t come with a large group. The interior is cute and homey. I came for lunch, which runs from 11am-3pm. The food consists of a selection of steamed dumplings and veggies. I got the shrimp dumplings and veggie set. It came with rice, broth, and side dishes, as well as a drink. I chose a hot black tea with milk, but you can also order the tea with sugar and/or lemon as well. The drink came after the meal and was served with ice cream that was garnished with lemon jam and a biscuit. The tea temperature was very hot and the milk was served separately, so you can pour however much you like. The lunch sets were about 1300-1400 yen. This place is also known for its chiffon cake. You can eat it in person, or you can get a chiffon cake sandwich to go, which I did. There are many flavors and all looked very delicious. I got the strawberry one. The chiffon cake sandwich was about 500 yen.

Extremely, extremely popular and crowded even now. It’s a good idea to reserve a table before you go. Their cakes are all soft and delicious and come with different plating designs. My one (tiramisu mountain) had a rabbit, and my friend’s (blueberry cream cheese) had red spots. The drinks are also nice. Be sure to try out all the cake flavours!!

This place is so good. The service is good, the ambiance is great, the coffee and the cake are ok. Will be back for sure!
