"PABLO" is a popular store where you can line up and specialize in "freshly baked" cheese tart. In June, a cafe-equipped store opened in Dotonbori, Osaka. This is a store where you can eat really freshly baked cheese tarts on the spot.

Previously, I ate "rare cheese tart " at To go, and I was completely fascinated by the eating editorial department. I was also interested in the "freshly baked cheese tart" that I ate at the store, so I went to Osaka.

The Dotonbori store is close to the PABLO Shinsaibashi store, and it's close to the well-known Glico signboard. When I arrived about 5 minutes before the opening time of 11 o'clock on the morning of the holiday, about 15 people were already in line. Is everyone aiming for eat-in? At the same time as the store opens, we will follow the customers who are steadily advancing and enter the store.

To go products are sold on the 1st floor, and the cafe space is on the 2nd floor. It seems to be a system that goes up to the 2nd floor after ordering on the 1st floor. By the way, it seems that most of the customers in line were aiming for To go.

Looking at the menu, you can eat 6 kinds of "mini cheese tart" and 4 kinds of "premium cheese tart" in the store. As for the mini cheese tart, in addition to the familiar "plain" at To go, "berry", "chocolate banana", "matcha", "chocolate" and "synapple" are available.

After much trouble, I ordered "chocolate banana" and "synapple". You can choose the degree of baking in To go, but it seems that you can not choose in eat-in. I also ordered coffee blended to match the cheese tart and went upstairs with my number tag.

At the end of the stairs, a nice smiling clerk greeted me with "Welcome to yes, PABLO!"! As you can tell at the To go store, I'm a little nervous ...

The floor, which is decorated like a forest, is very large, and the space between the seats is spacious and cozy. There is also a screen in the back. There is also a kitchen counter next to the stairs, and the staff is doing some work. People who entered the store before me feel at home.

Well, the tart has been brought in. Here again, throbbing hospitality. Two staff members brought the plates for me who ordered two, and said "Let's eat! Yes, PABLO!" With a smile that was too bright and left. Oh, "Seino" is too cute ...!

Let's regain our mind and concentrate on the tart in front of us.

On the plate are each tart, ice cream and sauce that match the tart. The diameter of the tart is about the palm of your hand. The height is about 4 cm, so it's quite voluminous.

First of all, I will have chocolate bananas. On top of the chocolate-colored tart, there are a lot of browned bananas! Along with the sweet scent, you can also feel the slight acidity of banana.

Gently insert the knife ... The thick dough has flowed out without disappointing! Exquisite hardness that is neither liquid nor solid, and it is slightly warm because it is freshly baked.

The surrounding tart is crispy enough to hear the sound. It's a pie-like dough, not the hard cookie dough that you often see in ordinary tarts, so it feels more crispy than freshly baked. An unprecedented experience.

Soo ...

However, it's too thick to separate well ...! If you try to cut it into small pieces, the center will collapse and it will be very difficult to stab it with a fork and eat it. The crispy tart dough will also crumble. It's hard! I'm happy but it's hard!

I managed to scoop it up with a fork and bring it to my mouth, and it disappeared in an instant. A mysterious texture like cream like mousse. As it melts, the rich scent of chocolate spreads. The taste of cheese is not strong, it seems to be eating chocolate tart. I can't stop fighting the dough that crumbles while I'm eating.

When I ate about half of it, I put in the chocolate sauce that came with it! I will spend a lot. The sauce is a bit bitter than the chocolate flavor of the tart. It draws the taste as an accent. I can't stop my hands again ...!

Add chocolate sauce!

The dough seems to harden a little when it cools down. Considering only the ease of eating, this may be better.

One cinnamon is an apple compote with cinnamon scent ... In other words, a tart topped with "cinnamon + apple = cinnamon". The surface is shiny and shiny.

When you insert the knife, it is a little harder than the chocolate banana. I get the impression that it is more plump than mellow. There are some compotes in the fabric that seems to be plain. The crispy texture is accented with a crispy texture.

Not to mention the good compatibility between "synapple" and cheese tart. Furthermore, when sprinkled with sour apple sauce, it is a refreshing dish with the slight acidity of fruits added.

Each one has more volume than it looks and is very satisfied. It seems that you will be addicted to the freshly baked “other cheese tart”.

In addition to the Dotonbori store, Pablo's cafe store is also located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture . Actually, this is the first store. It seems to be the same store with its main store in Osaka, both of which are developed in Kansai, but if you are near you, why not stop by? By the way, it seems that many people living in Kansai do not know that there is a store with a cafe because the impression of To go is too strong. I feel a little wasteful.
