Pâtisserie Cacahouète Paris (Tokyo, JAPAN) ★★★☆☆

Tucked away in a small backstreet in Nakameguro, Pâtisserie Cacahouète Paris has a rather unusual address for a French pâtisserie. But what it lacks in location and size, it more than makes up for it with its wide selection of pastries and bakery goods.




They even serve a small selection of ice-cream here. How can they fit everything within such a small space?



I was reading a blog about Pâtisserie Cacahouète Paris where it mentioned that owner-chef Jerome Quesnel used to work for Pierre Hermé back in France and that was the reason why some of his creations looked a little like Pierre Hermé's. 

But I didn't find that was the case at all. Well maybe some of the tarts?

One of the signature items at Pâtisserie Cacahouète Paris seemed to be their choux cubes with different flavored custard. They looked really heavy. 



I had trouble deciding which pastry to get and finally ended up ordering this one called "Happy Halloween", a creation especially designed for Halloween.

It's a pumpkin cream cheese cake. I thought it was slightly disappointing.
