Café des Tartes (Okinawa, JAPAN) ★★☆☆☆

After visiting Lobby Lounge@ANA Crowne Plaza Okinawa Harborview in the morning, we managed to snap up another dessert café en route to Kokusaidori (国際通) in the afternoon. Café des Tartes (カフェでタルト), a café / cake shop located on the ground level of the Cargo's Building near Makishi monorail station, was kind of an unexpected find when we were looking for a bathroom in the area!



Despite the fact that the name suggested it's pie specialty café, its "products" turned out to be favoring Japanese style pastries slightly more.



As I have already expressed in my previous posts, it's very difficult to find decent pastries around here in Okinawa. Take this "Mont Blanc" style strawberry cream cake (¥360) as an example, it probably won't make my hit-list if I was in a different city.



Mixed nut pie  (¥300) - I was expecting it to taste like a pecan pie but unfortunately disappointingly it was not the case.



Their creamy cheesecake  (¥370) was probably the only one close to getting a passing score.




We didn't have time to try their savory dishes so the assessment was strictly from their collection of cakes and pastries only.
