Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜FAbULOUS

My eye immediately latched onto the berry chocolat pistachio parfait here. And let me say that ¥1400 parfait was worth every last yen. Normally, I think parfaits are a little overpriced and more about presentation over eating experience. But, I was definitely wrong about this place. By far, this is my favorite parfait in Sapporo. They perfectly balanced the textures and flavors, especially in the layering. Absolutely the best from start to finish. The tumble weed thing was a mess to eat but when eaten in one go, it tastes lightly of those fried noodle chips 😂. Still fun and tasty though. The pistachio was light and refreshing. After that, you get to the chocolate which is absolutely and deeply rich. Then you reach this oatmealy, healthy protein shake tasting batter or something that definitely wasn’t ice cream, which I also enjoyed. I really couldn’t put my finger on what it was. But it was a nostalgic flavor for me. It was even more enjoyable with the bits of chocolate rice balls and cinnamon-y gingerbread probably. And finally, there’s the layer of mixed berries. I don’t normally write a long review about a single dish but I was seriously happy and satisfied the day I ate this. Not a single bite of disappointment. The other food was also delicious! They really focus on herbs and more natural flavors. The vibe is relaxing with all the plants. My only complaint is that some of the seats were aesthetically arranged but not very comfortable to eat at (as in you had to lean over in an awkward way and distance to eat). I’ll be coming back to try some other things on the menu!

A quite good place for coffee and food. Breakfast is reasonable, but you need to order by 10.30am. Most clients were women and took photos (and maybe posted onto Instagram) while a few business people had a meeting over coffee. I chose single origin coffee. I did not expect much based on reviews but coffee tasted quite good (a bit dark though) and service was also good and polite. The shop had a nice atmosphere, and good place to stay and enjoy your time. They also sell some sweets, so staff might ask if you would like to buy some at cashier. I did not but maybe I should buy some next time. Overall, it is worth traveling and it lives up to hype.

Incredible coffee shop and food. There's also a great boutique in here with many beautiful items. Definitely worth stopping in after checking out the nijo market or if you're just in the area
