A Charming Sweets Shop

What a treat to have such a charming French sweets shop in an area that is not very vegan-friendly!
The owner was so friendly and kind, and from a leaflet we found out that she received her training from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and has worked at a Michelin star hotel and pâtisserie.
About 90% of the sweets are vegan, and everything we tried was incredibly delicious. We got the soy cheesecake, the Gâteau au chocolat, and three madeleines - pumpkin, raspberry, and a seasonal cinnamon pumpkin.
We ate the cheesecake and the Gâteau au chocolat almost immediately. Both were amazing, and the Gâteau au chocolat was so light but full of flavor at the same time - truly incredible!
Per the owner's instructions we warmed up the madeleines in the toaster oven at home. They were fresh and light, and it is truly spectacular what the owner was able to accomplish without the traditional eggs and animal butter!
As it is within walking distance from Shin-Yurigaoka station, where I sometimes go shopping, I will be stopping by for delicious vegan sweets soon again!

(I would give it a five star rating, but as of right now Happy Cow is not letting me do that, as it is not a fully vegan shop. If that policy changes, I will come back and change my four stars to five.)
