Cafe connoisseurs take note! A hidden cake shop in a residential area with exquisite sweets (Minamisho, Sawara Ward, Fukuoka City)

Hello! I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves cafes and sweets.

This time, we will introduce you to a popular hidden sweets shop located in a residential area of Minamisho, Sawara Ward, Fukuoka City.

ALEKS'S CAKE, a small coffee and cake shop operating out of a shipping container (Minamisho, Sawara Ward, Fukuoka City)

ALEKS'S CAKE is a coffee and cake shop that opened in February 2023 with the support of crowdfunding.

The owner, Aleksandra, who has been in Japan for five years, runs her business by setting up a container in the parking space of her home.

Alexandra originally ran a shop overseas, but stopped making cakes when she came to Japan. Then, after giving birth, she started making cakes again using carefully selected ingredients for her child. She started the shop with the desire to share her specially made cakes.

Cakes are available for take-out, and can also be enjoyed in the eat-in space (4 seats).

Enjoy three types of standard cakes and a cake that changes monthly.

ALEKS'S CAKE offers a total of four types of cakes (600 yen each), including three standard types and one monthly type. On this day, I ate in the cakes. If you eat in, a set with a drink costs 900 yen.

Drinks available include drip coffee, espresso, cappuccino, cafe latte, black tea, herbal tea, and other soft drinks.

For an additional 200 yen, you can also change to the winter-only "Hot Chocolate."

Monthly Sweets

Among the cakes, the monthly sweets are especially popular. If you really want to try them, we recommend making a reservation.

"Mille-feuille" will be available exclusively in December 2023.

Everything is handmade, right down to the dough. The crispy pie crust and gently sweet custard cream are irresistible♡ The taste of seasonal fruits also adds a nice accent.

I was lucky enough to see the process of making the cakes, and was fascinated by how intricate the process of squeezing the cream was.

By the way, the November cake they served was made with plenty of pistachios and was apparently very popular.

There is a lot of fun to visit every month.

Hazelnut Chocolate

The most popular classic cake for birthdays and other custom orders is "Hazelnut Chocolate."

The balance of the caramel sauce and chocolate cream is perfect! It's a flavor that's loved by both children and adults. It also contains rock salt as a secret ingredient.

The crunchy texture of the roasted hazelnuts is addictive.

Orange Almond

"Orange Almond" is the most popular cake with a repeat rate of over 100. It is a four-layer almond cake decorated with soft white chocolate cream.

It has a gentle and soothing taste.

Raspberry Earl Grey Tea

Inside is a soft Earl Grey tea mousse with sweet and sour raspberry sauce and gently sweet caramel chocolate.

The cross section is also beautiful.

The colorful macarons are also very popular!

In addition to cakes, macarons (3 pieces for 900 yen, 5 pieces for 1,400 yen, 10 pieces for 2,550 yen) are also popular.

For eat-in, a set of two macarons and a drink costs 700 yen.

The flavors change with the season, but the most popular ones include chocolate, yuzu, matcha, raspberry, salted caramel, lavender, coffee, and Earl Grey.
