It all started when I received a cake from here for my birthday. Every cake is delicious, and my favorite is especially the red heart-shaped Amore cake! I order from here every time for someone's birthday!

I think this is a fairly well-known cake shop in Naha City. They have a wide variety of cakes, also carry baked sweets, and even have a cake vending machine outside the shop. It is fun to buy several kinds and share them with family and friends. I casually like the macarons here the best.

We stopped by after sightseeing at Shurijo (Shuri Castle). The delicious cakes made with ingredients from Okinawa Prefecture were so comforting. I ended up getting some cookies for Takeout too. It’s a lovely cafe where you can relax and spend your time at ease.

There was a wide selection of sweets, from cut cake slices and whole cakes to cream puffs and baked treats. Since it was my first time, I decided to start with a chocolate cake, inspired by the shop name Chocolat. I went home and tried it right away(^^)The sweetness was just right, and the chocolate was delicious!

This Western confectionery shop is said to have delicious freshly baked apple pie. A friend who lives in Okinawa recommended it to me. It looks simple, but it tastes incredibly good! Since I’ve always believed simple is best when it comes to apple pie, this flavor was exactly my kind of thing!

“The ultimate chocolate cake that brings out the aroma of cacao to the fullest. Renvoll’s signature item.” The surface is coated with hard chocolate. The inside is moist, with a rich cacao flavor! It is not too sweet, so you can finish it in no time. It really lives up to its name as the signature item.

This time, I had the last remaining Mont Blanc. It was the kind completely covered in marron cream. The rich depth of the marron cream and the aroma of chestnuts were wonderful. Inside were small chunks of marron glacé, and these too were just the right size and very tasty.

The banana in the cake is on another level good! It might be the best banana I’ve ever had!! The sponge is moist too, and they go perfectly together◎ The cake is almost all banana, so it feels pretty guilt-free, and the juice is also delicious with its natural sweetness♫ Honestly, I never thought banana cake and banana juice could be this good...!

I planned to get only the banana cake, but there were so many tempting items like the restaurant-exclusive stick financiers, gateau chocolat, and rusks that I ended up buying a variety of things. Then the cakes caught my eye too, so I ate in. Everything was delicious, but the banana pudding is a must-try. The souvenirs were also well received.

I had Rose Rouge, Matcha Griotte, and Tarte Fraise. Every one of them looked beautiful, like little jewels♬ Rose Rouge even looked like a rose. But the most delicious of all was the Tarte Fraise, a tart with strawberries, rhubarb, and Earl Grey. It was even dusted with gold leaf, making it feel like the ultimate reward sweet.

I have visited many times. It is a little upscale, but I always want to go when I want to relax or for a small celebration. I was very Manzoku with the cake, sweets, and coffee. The fruit tart was large, so it might be better to share it. I will go again!

I had wanted to try the afternoon tea here for the longest time, so this was something I had really been looking forward to! The atmosphere and the staff were both wonderful, and I had a great time! Best of all, both the sweets and the savory items were really delicious! You can only get refills of the drink you choose at the start, but I also liked that you can pick either hot or iced!

Everything at Regens is good. The No.1 pick is the Mont Blanc. Everyone is thrilled when they get Sonnekranz as a gift... The baked sweets are also top level, and even the weekend-only German bread tastes authentic. At Christmas, the stollen is outstanding. Applause.

The shortcake has lightly sweetened cream, so it tastes fresh and goes down easily. It is very delicious. On the other hand, the roll cake has pistachio as a nice accent, and the cream felt rich. It was a shop that made me want to try the other cakes next time.
