A must-try for dessert lovers in Shinjuku: "Cheese Cookies" x "Caramel Basque"

Tokyo has so many desserts that it's impossible to try them all, but if you're staying just one day in Shinjuku, besides the super popular l’m donut (Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Fukuoka), I sincerely recommend these two spots that don’t require long lines and are conveniently located in the city center 🥰

🧀 Now on Cheese
If you pass by Shinjuku JR or the landmark department store Lumine, I recommend buying and eating these cheese cookies fresh out of the fridge. The portion is just right, rich but not greasy, with many seasonal limited flavors. Adding a Shinjuku-exclusive ice cream makes it even more satisfying 😋

📍 Shinjuku Station South Exit, Lumine 2, 1st floor exit

☕️ Cois espresso club (highly recommended!!)
A Korean-style coffee shop near Shinjuku Gyoen with a great atmosphere. The owner and staff are Korean but fluent in multiple languages. The black-themed interior has a modern nightclub vibe. The open space is small with limited seating, plus standing spots to eat—seems so popular it’s starting to have lines 😅

☑️ The espresso menu is huge. Following the trend, I ordered the signature cois latte with butter cinnamon powder and a whole lit cinnamon stick, just for the steaming and aromatic effect when served~
☑️ Highly recommend the brûléed caramel cheesecake, with a lava-like melting and dense texture. Sweet but not greasy, absolutely loved it 💕

📍 1-5-9 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo
