LONCAFE is known as "Japan's first French toast specialty store". This cafe is popular for its relaxed Shonan style, and has stores under the elevated Nakameguro in Tokyo.

Of course, the signboard menu is French toast, but I personally recommend this!


Although it looks like an egg tart, it is a product called "Cheese Inbaum", which is a hybrid dessert with baked cheesecake packed tightly in the holes of Baumkuchen. Isn't it a genius who thought?

◆ Two types, plain and Earl Gray

There are two flavors of cheesecake, plain and Earl Gray. Both outer Baum doughs are baked with Earl Gray tea leaves kneaded into them.


Plain is a basic cheesecake that goes well with Baumkuchen. The fluffy and smooth cheesecake has a slight acidity like lemon and is easy to eat because the habit of cheese disappears, yet the richness of milk and the mellow umami are plentiful ... the best.


And from the refreshing and moist Baumkuchen, the elegant scent of Earl Gray follows. Again, this is the best!


On the other hand, Earl Gray is a fragrant dish with both Baumkuchen and cheesecake. The gorgeous black tea flavor that stands out firmly scents for a long time from the moment it is stretched to the aftertaste. Black tea is stronger than cheese, and it has an adult taste that is different from plain. It seems to go well with soft coffee such as latte, and conversely lemon tea or milk tea.

◆ Where can I buy it?

An eco-sweet with two birds with one stone that makes effective use of the holes in Baumkuchen and allows you to enjoy cheesecake. Cheese Inbaum can be purchased at the Nakameguro store, Ebina SA up store, and Sendai store. Please note that it is not sold at the Enoshima main store and the Kamakura store. * Information at the time of writing the article
