01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Fresh, juicy fruit paired with crisp, fragrant pastry makes Princess Tart Shimokitazawa a place to look forward to visiting for a seasonal tart. One reviewer described the fruit-based tarts as light and refreshing, and the cream-based ones as rich but not too heavy; another singled out the fruit tarts for their restrained sweetness.
Seasonal fruit is part of the appeal. Reviews mention choices including figs, Hyuganatsu citrus and grapes. Menu examples have also included a seasonal tart made with a whole peach, as well as mango, blueberry, and strawberry-and-blueberry tarts, offering plenty of fruit-led options.
For a drink to go with your tart, try the royal milk tea, described as gently sweet and full-bodied. The menu also lists Earl Grey and Darjeeling, along with herbal tea combining chamomile, lemongrass and spearmint; each is 580 yen.
You can enjoy tea and a tart in the café, or order them to take away.
