Exquisite fruit sweets are here! A popular cafe in Tenjin (Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City) frequented by cafe enthusiasts who have visited a total of 1,600 cafes
Hello. I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves cafes so much that she has visited over 1,600 of them in total.
This time, we will introduce you to the new creations of this cafe, which has long been one of the most popular cafes in Fukuoka since it opened.
ORTO CAFE: Cute-looking sweets and lunches are popular! (Watanabedori, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)
ORTO CAFE is located one street away from Watanabedori in Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City.
"ORTO" is a word that means "vegetable garden" in Italian. This cafe is extremely popular for its special lunches that mainly use vegetables from Fukutsu and Munakata cities, as well as its adorable-looking sweets.
When you enter the store, you will see a showcase filled with sweets.
In addition to lunch and cakes, they also offer baked goods and bread, all of which can be enjoyed in the store.
Order on the first floor and then proceed to the second floor.
Large branches are decorated on the second floor, and sunlight filters through the trees, shining brightly onto the tables.
With cute sofa seats and wooden box table seats, you'll have a hard time deciding where to sit ♡
Keep an eye out for the sweets that change with the seasons!
Before the summer really began, tarts made with peaches and American cherries, and cool ice cream cakes were available.
The most eye-catching item is the "Peach and Mixed Berry Tart" (880 yen), which uses peaches that are in season right now! It's a super cute tart made with half a peach.
This dish is deliberately kept simple with the desire to "let people enjoy peaches!"
A tart baked with mixed berry sauce and topped with peach compote.
The peach was filled with cream cheese and berry sauce, and when I cut it in half, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Looks delicious!"
The peaches are so juicy! When you put one in your mouth, the juice overflows. The subtle sourness of the cream cheese and the sweet and sour taste of the berry sauce create an irresistible balance.
This is the "Ice Cake Blueberry Yogurt" (450 yen), served with Amaou sauce.
An ice cream cake with the unbeatable combination of yogurt and blueberries.
The chunks of blueberry pulp and the marbled sauce give it a cute appearance, a crunchy texture, and a light, refreshing taste with a subtle sweetness.
This is a popular fruit tart, and currently available is the "American Cherry Tart" (680 yen).
Custard cream and American cherries are served on top of the pistachio tart, and the popping texture of the cherries is delightful.
The pistachios kneaded into the tart dough went perfectly with the custard, and I finished it all in no time.
Don't miss the fizzy limited edition drinks either ♡
The drinks I ordered this time were the classic "Iced Tea" (480 yen) made with Ureshino's Japanese black tea, and the seasonal drink "Grapefruit Soda" (700 yen).
Grapefruit soda is made by breaking up the fruit pulp by hand, combining it with syrup made from the fruit juice, and creating a sorbet-like consistency, which is then floated on carbonated water.
As it melts, the fruit flesh dances beautifully like flower petals.
"Orange Tea" (600 yen) offers an extra flavor to iced tea.
A slightly sweet drink made with iced tea and orange syrup. A perfect drink for this hot and humid season.
The limited-edition sweets are only available for a limited time while the fruit is still delicious, and although the timing of availability changes depending on the stock, American cherries are available until July, and peaches until August. You cannot reserve a seat, but you can reserve sweets, so if there is a sweet you like, we recommend making a reservation to reserve it.
