"This cozy, unassuming cake shop is headed by patissier Yoshio Kurimoto, who placed fourth in the 2005 Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie, or World Pastry Cup. The afternoon cake set is 1060 yen ($10) for a hot or cold coffee or tea, a “glass dessert” (compote or gelee served in a tiny glass container), and a piece of cake from the case. Choose your favorite flavor or pick at random. You really can’t go wrong. [$$]" - Nina Li Coomes
