Bake Cheese Tart — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I've been long knowing Bake, even before moving to the US as I've been their huge fan of them and they're my must-have when going to Singapore.

Taking place at its Century City outlet, as expected there's almost always long line at peak hours especially given I visited on Saturday. Great thing was it moved pretty quickly, kudos to the nimble attendants for sure!

Going for their original cheese tart most of the time, I guessed this was perfect time to finally try more of the newcomers flavors. In my assorted box, I opted for Choco Marshmallow, Matcha, Crème Brulee, Caramel, and Raspberry, besides the all-time favorite original for sure. I would say Bake never failed to amuse me with all newly invented flavors as it's amazing how those flavors could stand out yet not overpowering the signature cheese tart taste, which obviously what made everyone fell for it the first place. It's also super nice that despite I didn't enjoy everything straight away, the shell texture could still stay crispy and the cheese cake could stay moist. I would say my new favorite would be their crème brulee with that nice crispy burnt layer of caramel on top.

Not stopping there, I got the chance to finally having again Press Butter Sand, after so long that I couldn't even recall last time having it. For you who're not familiar, it's basically butter sandwich cookies brought to the next level. Yep, never questioning the precision and quality Japanese could bring into foods, and butter cookies weren't even an exception. The original one featured delightful butter cream and caramel layers inside the yummy butter cookies. This was my first time trying the matcha one, which as expected had matcha buttercream instead and was...

If reviews have 6 stars, I will totally choose it. Although the cheese tarts are on the expensive side, we were BLOWN AWAY by their stunning appearance, creamy texture, sophisticated and subtle flavor (not overall sweet but full of flavor). We especially like the fact that they added a hint of salt to each fruity flavor, which brings up even more flavor. The products feel really premium and high quality with lots of varieties to choose from.

The staff were also super friendly even on a busy day with many customers waiting. He helped me pick the top 6 flavors (original, marshmallow, raspberry, matcha, strawberry and caramel cream brûlée). We also got the two boxes press butter sand (one original, one matcha). Both are super delicious with a buttery punch!

The boxes are labeled as made in Japan. Very sturdy and serve as very nice gift boxes. We were especially impressed by the tiered design once the box was opened to show a full nice presentation of all cheese tarts. Definitely worth a red dot design award!

All in all, I highly recommend giving all cheese...

Free therapy = going to Westfield Century City mall to walk and heading to Bake Cheese tart for a mid afternoon snack😌❤️ (okay not really free because the parking rates are hella expens & the cheese tart is kinda $ too🤣🤣)

I love trying diff flavors but for some reason I’m an original flavor type girl ‼️‼️ (for example: I only get the original flavor at pinkberry, uncle testu, melo melo, etc .. is this too specific?) The original cheese tart has my HEART. It’s the perfect most creamy texture and it just satisfies me every time!! The chocolate one was actually rly rly good as well and is almost tied with the original for me :O

The cheese tart is best eaten fresh when it’s super fluffy and light so I would recommend eating it on the spot! They also sell frozen tarts too but I prefer their fresh ones. This is one of my favorite desserts ever and I wish they had more locations in SoCal...
