01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Some people return to base de carin for its parfaits, whose flavours change with the seasons. The matcha-and-shiratama parfait is another option, and could be paired with a tea such as Darjeeling or Nilgiri. Visitors have described the parfaits as just the right size, making them a good choice when you want to linger over tea as well as enjoy something sweet.

If you’re not in the mood for a parfait, there are scones in plain, chocolate and Earl Grey varieties. The chocolate scone contains chocolate chips, and some visitors have enjoyed theirs with berry jam and whipped cream. Cream soda is another drink to consider; one visitor recalled its pronounced fruitiness. With plenty of drinks to choose from, you can find a favourite to go with a parfait or baked treat. The café has also offered seasonal afternoon tea, which visitors have praised for its balance of sweet and savoury items. The menu and serving period may vary, so it’s something to look out for when you visit.

The café is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 to 18:00. Some visitors have mentioned that there are few seats, so consider making a reservation if you’re planning to take your time.
