Tokyo’s Dolce Tacubo Caffe is a sweet haven that’s catching the eye of dessert aficionados and social media enthusiasts alike. Nestled in both Daikanyama and Toranomon Hills, this confectionery spot has garnered a loyal following for its delectable offerings, including canelés, puddings, and cream puffs. However, it’s their soft serve ice creams at the Toranomon Hills location that are stealing the spotlight, resembling veritable works of art.
Pistachio, a limited-time flavor, beckoned, but on our inaugural visit, we settled for the classic milk rendition. At a price of 800 yen (approximately US$5.23) for takeout or 815 yen for dine-in, with the latter requiring an additional drink order, indulging in this treat may dent your wallet, but the admiration from onlookers and the flood of likes on social media make it a worthwhile investment.
The store’s lighting accentuates the contours of the dessert, rendering it even more visually captivating. Resembling a masterpiece, the soft serve appears almost too beautiful to consume. However, one spoonful reveals a sublime sweetness that quickly wins over the taste buds, leaving us yearning for more.
The ethereal soft serve is artfully juxtaposed with the crispiness of the cone, a testament to the quality of ingredients used. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this ice cream promises a delightful flavor experience. With such an enticing offering, it’s no wonder patrons are eagerly anticipating future creations from Dolce Tacubo Caffe.
