Patisserie Vert Clair has been selling French styled cakes, chocolates, baked sweets and confectionery since 2012. Besides cakes, they have tarts and puddings as well. I've always loved fresh Japanese cream on the cakes (they are so much airer and sweeter) and also the Japanese's genuity of incorporating different layers of textures in the cakes. Look at all these delicious desserts which have been lovingly made.
Japan is known for its impressive bakes that tastes as good as they are beautifully baked and crafted. It's always a joy stepping into a Japanese cake shop and having the time to mull over what one should be getting. One cake is never enough!
It's a blessing that we were in the Shizuoka Prefecture during the Christmas period, to not only enjoy the many cake shops present in the region, but also to try out the seasonal cakes available specially for the Christmas season. The Shizuoka Prefecture is also blessed with many fruit produces (such as the famed Melons and Strawberries) and you will be able to spot them in many of their cake shops.
We ordered the Maple (Christmas edition) and the usual Noisette. Loved the crunchy candied pieces in the Maple cake. For the Noisette, the praline cream tasted really fresh and the chocolate crunchy layer sandwiched in between the layers of sponge cake added a nice contrast.
There is also an assortment of meringues, madeleines and financiers for you to select from and bring back as souvenirs.
You can choose to takeout your bakes or eat-in at the store. The store has approximately 14 seats where you can enjoy the cakes with their coffee and tea or even order their homemade brioche and quiche sets. Loved the details they put in the little shop to create a cosy festive Christmas spirit.
The parking lot at Patisserie Vert Clair is large and easy to park. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend you to drop by to pick up some cakes for your breakfast or as a leisurely afternoon snack. The delicate cakes are of high quality and will surely brighten your day. Patisserie Vert Clair also adds new items to their menu, allowing their customers to enjoy new surprises.
