Aoi club: If the non-signature item is this good....







Area:  a couple of blocks north of Shinsakaemachi station 新栄町駅
Shop:  Aoi Cafe  葵倶楽部

Website:  http://syumoku.exblog.jp/i30/

Hours:  12-7pm


I'm sure this is not just a regular cafe.  While I was there, the owner was giving a tour and talk to a young man who was taking notes.  Perhaps it's an old house of a famous person.  It seems they also hold art exhibitions once in a while.

Looking at internet reviews and the homepage, it seems that the most popular item is the NY style cheesecake.  However, just my luck, on this day, there was no cheesecake left.  All there was left were homemade scones.  They came warmed and immediately had the fragrance of butter.  The chocolate cheese cream (this is what she called it as opposed to cream cheese) gave a whole new flavor to it, like a savory cheese scone.  The crispy outer edges were like eating a crisp cookie.  The coffee was fresh.

The classical music playing made it easy to take my time and enjoy my scone and coffee.
