Two Unbeatable Hidden Gem Dessert Spots in Cincinnati 🤤

Both are incredibly thoughtful Japanese-style bakeries and cafes. Whether you're just passing through or visiting Cincinnati—don't miss these! You'll regret it if you do. 🍰✨ The first is Chako Bakery Cafe. Their matcha Swiss roll and strawberry Swiss roll are absolutely divine 😍 These two flavors are a must-try—so rich, smooth, and perfectly textured. We also tried the raspberry one… it was good, but those two are the real stars! Enjoy them with a cup of matcha latte—the pairing is just perfect. And I say this as someone who doesn’t usually love matcha drinks! 🍵❤️ The second is Cafe Mochiko. They even had the cutest little Christmas tree 🎄😂 Everything we tried here was delicious: The ube croissant is hands-down the best I’ve had in the US so far 🇺🇸 The hōjicha cake is also a great choice And the black sugar monkey bread was a surprising delight—sooooo good! 🍠🍞 These two spots are definitely places I’ll keep coming back to in Cincinnati. Love them! 💖 #InternationalStudent #InternationalStudentsMatterToo #Dessert #HiddenGems #USA
