What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the visually stunning cakes, particularly the yuzu, matcha, and black sesame flavors. Many praise the calm, clean interior and say it's a great place to relax before an event. Friendly staff and consistent quality also get frequent mentions, as does the café’s ability to feel like a “hidden gem” in a busy part of the city.

Areas for Improvement

Seating is limited, so it may not be ideal for larger groups during peak hours. Some guests noted that while the cakes are beautiful, the flavor can be subtle—best for those who enjoy lighter, less sweet desserts. Don’t expect a full meal here—this is strictly a dessert and coffee stop.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers craving a serene, stylish dessert experience before or after the show, AnnTremet Cake hits all the right notes.
