Their cheese tarts worth a try. I tried their seasonal sakura cheese tarts and pistachio cheese tart. Both taste good. The cheese element is impressive. There will be people lining up for the cheese tarts from time to time. Better seize an opportunity when the line is short. The attendants are friendly, diligent and friendly. Appreciate.
The Mog Champ sends his regards. The cheese tarts here are amazing, ordered their 6 piece mini set which had a different topping on all of them. It's a very nice dessert to have and share in a group setting especially. Service is quick but they only offer take away. Thanks for the tarts, team! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ
Had a cheese tart from here. It was solid. I really liked the bottom of the pastry specifically, and how crunchy it was. This crunch was really addicting. The main cheese filling was decent - the top showed light signs of broiling, but nothing crazy. The cheese / cream-cheese like flavor was also good. I think it would've been better warm, but it felt lukewarm to the touch. Overall, a solid dessert that's a good option on this street. 7.75/10
Supposedly this is one of the most popular dessert places in Osaka, maybe even in the entire Japan. It’s definitely worth it, especially for cheesecake lovers. They have a variety of flavors, including raspberry, cream brûlée and matcha. I ordered a set of six different ones, out of them I really liked just one - with raspberry. The taste is well balanced in sugar and flavors, however excessive amount of tart dough makes the dessert very dry. So after every bite I had to chase it with tea. If you’re in the area, go ahead and give it a try but it’s definitely not a must visit place.
If you're exploring Shinsaibashi and craving something sweet, do yourself a favor and stop by Cheese Tart Pablo. I tried the Pablo Mini Brulee Twist Cheese Soft Serve in a Cup (¥880), and it turned out to be one of the most memorable desserts I've had in Osaka. At first glance, the price might seem a little steep for a soft serve dessert, but after the first bite, I completely understood why people keep lining up for it. The cheese soft serve is unlike any ice cream I've tried before. The cheese flavor is noticeable without being overpowering, creating a rich and creamy balance between sweet and savory that keeps you wanting another spoonful. The real star, however, is the mini brûlée sitting on top. It's smooth, creamy, and wonderfully indulgent. What makes it even better is the layer of hardened caramelized sugar that adds a satisfying crunch and texture contrast. Combined with the soft serve, every bite feels like a carefully crafted dessert rather than a simple snack. This place is extremely popular, and there's almost always a queue outside. Fortunately, the line moves surprisingly fast, so don't let it discourage you. It's actually a great stop when you need a quick break after walking around the busy Shinsaibashi shopping district. One thing to note is that most customers enjoy their desserts standing beside the shop because there are NO seats and tables available for dining in, which wasn't a problem for me since I wanted a quick treat before continuing my exploration of the area. They also offer a variety of other desserts and food souvenirs that looked tempting enough to make me want to return. Whether you're visiting Osaka for the first time or you're a local searching for a special dessert, this is a place I would highly recommend. Yes, it's a calorie splurge, but it's one that's absolutely worth making.
