Boston Cafe | Basque Cake has a matcha flavor!

🧀 Cafe Weekend: Boston’s Go-To for Basque Cheesecake—New Matcha Flavor Steals the Spotlight Still the only spot in town where I can grab a Basque cheesecake in person—and their new matcha version is worth the trip. Located on Harvard Ave, this tiny cafe keeps winning with its rich, creamy desserts. 🍵 The Matcha Basque Cheesecake ($8.5 + tax) Flavor: A smart twist on the classic. The matcha isn’t bitter, but it cuts through the cheesecake’s sweetness, making it more balanced than the original. Think: earthy, slightly sweet, with a subtle green tea kick. Texture: Thick, dense, and velvety—true to Basque style, with that signature “burnt” edge (not too charred). Price: A bit steeper than the original (which has also gone up), but justified by the better flavor balance. ✨ The Vibe (and Quirks) Size: Tiny space—weekend brunches mean lines out the door. Heat: No AC, which was noticeable on a 30°C day. Takeout is the move (I ate mine at home, no regrets). If you’re a Basque cheesecake fan, the matcha version at Cafe Weekend is a must-try. It’s richer, less cloying, and just as satisfying as the classic. 📍 Cafe Weekend 120 Harvard Ave, Boston, MA 02134 #BostonDesserts #BasqueCheesecake #MatchaLovers
