“Rice Flour Chocolate Cake” at Northern Eight Coffee Ashiya

“Rice Flour Chocolate Cake” 590 yen (tax included)

Set drink “Hot Tea (Earl Grey)” 470 yen (tax included) *620 yen (tax included) when ordered separately

Besides Earl Grey, the tea lineup also included English Breakfast and Darjeeling Second Flush.

↑ It looks like an ordinary gateau chocolat, but surprisingly, it’s a gluten-free vegan sweet made with rice flour and no animal-derived ingredients.

↑ When I tried it… it was incredibly moist, with a rich, deep chocolate flavor! It totally exceeded my expectations in the best way.

↑ Even though it doesn’t use wheat flour or butter, it was still very satisfying. Such a happy little treat♪

↑ In addition to drinks like coffee and tea, and sweets, they also have a full lunch menu with lunch plates, curry, pasta, and more. There’s a kids’ menu too.
