A cafe chain store that is convenient when you want to take a break. Not only coffee and other drinks, but also attractive food menus are available.
This time, at such a cafe, eat and compare the popular sweet "cheesecake". What is the difference between stores? I compared Starbucks Coffee, Tully's Coffee, Excelsior Cafe, Cafe Veloce, and Doutor Coffee.
・ Starbucks Coffee "New York Cheesecake"
A cake with crumbs on the bottom using two types of carefully selected cream cheese. It is baked so that the surface has a beautiful gradation. The price is 420 yen (excluding tax).
A fluffy texture like souffle. The rich flavor of cream cheese spreads with each bite. It also has a slightly sour taste in the mouth.
The crunchy crumbs are very rich in wheat flavor. The slightly salty taste enhances the taste of cheese. The taste and mouthfeel of the cake as a whole is light, giving the impression that everyone will receive it.
・ Tully's Coffee "Classic NY Cheesecake"
A classic cake with two layers of cheese dough and cookie dough. The price is 400 yen (tax included).
It has a solid texture that makes it look like cheese is condensed tightly. Although it has a deep richness, the aftertaste is refreshing thanks to the acidity. I felt the strongest acidity I ate this time. It goes well with espresso as well as sweet seasonal drinks.
・ Excelsior Cafe "New York Cheesecake"
Baked cheesecake with cocoa cookies. The price is 480 yen (tax included).
You can feel the mild acidity in the mellow body. The smooth cheese dough and the moist cocoa cookie go great together. Although there is no particular personality, it is a well-balanced and satisfying dish.
・ Café Veloce "Baked Cheesecake"
A cake made by moisturizing cheese dough using cream cheese. The price is 300 yen (tax included).
The finish is so hard that the fork will not fit unless you put effort into your hands. It is packed tightly and has a satisfying taste. The bottom is a sponge-like fabric. There were many crispy cookie bases, so the fluffy texture was fresh.
・ Doutor Coffee "Two-layered cheesecake"
A cake made by layering baked cheesecake and rare cheese mousse. Caramel ganash is sandwiched between them. The price is 390 yen (tax included).
Rare cheese mousse is fluffy and creamy. Combined with a smooth baked cheesecake, it spreads the taste and slight acidity of the cheese. Because there are many rare cheese parts, it is refreshing rather than rich. Accented with fragrant caramel ganash.
Even the same "cheesecake" has different finishes depending on the store. Personally, I like Starbucks. However, which one you find delicious seems to be quite different depending on your taste. Please check it with your own tongue.
