"Osaka City Nishi Ward" Popular dessert shop "Le Goutte" located about a 7-minute walk from Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line, reservation required, celebrates reaching 3000 reviews! Visited on May 26, 2023. Ranked as one of the top 100 dessert shops in the West in 2022! The exterior of the shop is colorful and lovely, and the customer service is excellent. Their sweets sell out quickly, so reservations are a must. I visited in the afternoon and the display case was almost empty. I had made a reservation the day before. I purchased the "Awai" for 560 yen and "Capone" for 530 yen. Both cakes are beautifully coated with white cream or pistachio cream. They are both incredibly delicious. "Awai" is a cute cake with a citrus mousse made from berries and lemon, balancing sweetness and acidity perfectly, a refreshing dessert. It is very enjoyable to eat, with cute strawberries as a nice accent. "Capone" is also extremely delicious! It is quite rich, with a base of caramel banana and plenty of pistachio cream, a treat for pistachio lovers. The textures and flavors of the cream, sponge, and tart crust spread out harmoniously in your mouth. Bon appétit!"

Thank you for viewing. I hope you can give me your "likes", "follows", and "save the shop". This time, I visited "Le Gouté", a shop that won the Sweets West Top 100 Stores 2023 award. This shop is a regular customer who has won the Top 100 Stores award many times. It is a very popular sweets shop that is often sold out when passing by, and is already closed. The access is about a 7-minute walk from Higobashi Station, with a 7-ELEVEN on the opposite side and Utsubo Park behind it. The exterior of the shop is cute and looks like a fairy tale land. The cake I had this day is a cute cake called "Delicious Chocolate Cake". Unfortunately, this was the only cake left. It is a Gâteau Chocolat with chocolate cream and crispy chocolate puff on top. The sweetness is elegant and easy to eat. The staff is also very kind and polite. Next time, I would like to visit a little earlier and get a few more varieties. Thank you for the meal.

I went to buy my last meal a week before the restaurant closed. There were many people there around 10:30 AM, with almost 50 people already in line. I was able to enjoy the Mont Blanc and cream puff that I wanted to eat before they closed.

My favorite patisserie, Regoutte, has been my go-to place for Christmas cakes for over 10 years. However, last year, they suddenly announced their closure on September 2, 2023. The news was shocking, and I anticipated that there would be a fierce battle for Christmas cake reservations. As expected, when I was on my way to the store, I received a message saying that all reservations were full. I couldn't buy the cake that day, and I was in a state of shock. Now, with less than a week left until the closure, the store has been overwhelmed with reservations. I recently lined up for 2 and a half hours to get a cake from my friends as a surprise. The store only allows a limited number of cakes per person, and they have prepared around 400-500 cakes and pastries, all of which sell out quickly. Today, before the store even opened, there was an announcement that they had sold out due to the number of people lining up. I carefully selected my favorite cake from Regoutte, which I have enjoyed many times in the past. The store will only be open for three more days, so if you want to secure a cake, be prepared to line up before opening. After the closure, the store will be relocating to Hokkaido, although there is limited information available at the moment. I hope to visit them when I go to Hokkaido in the future. Though there are only a few days left, I wish that many more people can experience happiness through Regoutte's cakes. Thank you for the delicious treats, Regoutte.

After announcing the closure of the store, my chances to eat at this extremely popular restaurant gradually decreased. I have experienced the bitterness of visiting the shop multiple times, but I was able to taste a few cakes in the end. The blueberry tart was delicious, baked to perfection with a rich flavor amidst a gentle sweetness. Each cake had a unique and delightful taste that quickly made the enjoyable time come to an end. It was a bit sad, but I was able to have a wonderful time enjoying the delicious treats. Thank you!

Elegant flavors! I have heard that the shop will be closing soon, but it seems to be very crowded! I ordered the Capone, Rare Cheese, and Eclair. The Capone and Eclair were rich and sophisticated in taste, while the Rare Cheese was light and delicate, bringing out the goodness of the fruits. I want to eat more at this restaurant!

I arrived around 12 o'clock and there was a long line here. While waiting, the cakes were sold out. I ended up getting a takeout of rum raisin chocolate. I wished the raisin flavor was a bit stronger. But since it's chocolate, it's understandable that the rum taste is strong. Next time, I'll go earlier to buy a cake. Thank you for the meal.

Marco ¥580 I thought the peach was in compote, but it still had a fresh taste and was delicious. Trochi ¥580 The cheese flavor wasn't too strong, making it easy to eat. The caramel in the middle was also nice. It's a shame that they will be closing at the beginning of September.

I went to pick up a cake I had reserved after the store opened around 12 o'clock, but there were about 10 people in line. There were plenty of cakes available right after opening, but it seems they sell out by around 1 o'clock even on weekdays. The cakes were as delicious as ever.

I received delicious sweets! The crispy cookies had a pistachio scent and were a light type of baked good. They were not meringue... a new texture for me. The dacquoise was fluffy and matched well with the cream inside. I heard they are closing soon. The cakes also seem delicious... I would like to try them!

My top recommendation is the Jersey dessert. It has a rich creaminess, chestnut aroma, and a fluffy texture that are perfectly balanced. This popular shop always has long lines, but unfortunately, it will soon be closing due to a shortage of staff. However, the plan is for the couple to continue running a small-scale shop once things settle down, but the timing and location are still undecided. I hope that when they reopen, they will keep Jersey on the menu.

This time, I went all out with Capone!! I noticed the delicacy when I made my first purchase last week, so I hurriedly made another purchase today for my parents and relatives' birthdays! (I was able to make a reservation by chance when I called the day before~) This time, I only ordered Capone, and they served me in the hall~ When you order in the hall, macarons are placed on top, which is also innovative!! The taste is not too sweet, allowing the goodness of matcha to shine through, and the visual presentation is artistic and flawless (^^)

I received delicious cookies. They had a good buttery flavor and were just to my liking. They were crispy and the cookies, in particular, were very delicious. I heard they will be closing soon, so I definitely want to go buy some fresh cakes. I also want to buy some baked goods at that time.

A popular pastry shop near Higobashi Station on the Yotsubashi Subway Line, known for selling out of cakes by early afternoon. This time, I purchased some baked goods, which were delicious with just the right amount of sweetness in the moist dough. I definitely want to visit again.

Regretful Leguet! I lined up in just 10 minutes after opening. The world view is super cute and the cakes have a unique design that you won't find elsewhere. It's almost cheating how delicious this place is! It may be a bit pricey, but the portions are satisfying. Some cakes are only available by reservation, not at the storefront. Unfortunately, they didn't have the salted pistachio on this day. I want to come back for a rematch! Reservations can be made by phone or directly at the store. The pistachio flavors were delicious. I want to visit until closing time! Purchases (excluding tax): Cakes - Setaka ¥620, Capone ¥530, Eclair Pistachio ¥400. Baked goods - Florentine ¥250, Fig ¥250, Duckwa ¥240. * indicates especially delicious!

I visited Le Gute. It was my first visit in a while. I ordered the Trochee, Jersey, and Rare Cheese. The Jersey had rich cream and a fluffy sponge, very delicious. The Rare Cheese had a nice balance of grapefruit acidity and cream sweetness, very tasty. The Trochee had a combination of souffle cheese and mascarpone cheese, with caramel that added a nice touch, very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I used to avoid this place because of the long lines, but after hearing good things from people around me, I decided to give it a try. As the reviews suggested, reservations are a must if you want to buy cakes here. I ordered the Capone, Jersey, and Miyama cakes. I tried the Miyama, and it was delicate and not too sweet, with a perfect balance of sweetness and the goodness of fruits (mango). I also took a bite of the famous Capone, and it tasted elegant. I heard they will be closing in the fall, but I will definitely visit again!

I think it's better to make a reservation because the cakes tend to sell out. I visited on Sunday evening at 4 pm. There was a sign at the entrance saying that today's cakes are sold out. But I had made a reservation a week in advance, so it was okay. There was nothing in the cake case, it's really a popular shop. The Pistachio Salt Cake was amazing, with a great pistachio aroma and a hint of coarse salt. The fruit shortcake was delicious, even though strawberry season had ended. I also bought two eclairs and some baked goods, all of which were tasty. The shop will be closing in early September, but the couple who run it will be opening a new place. I want to make another reservation and visit before they close. I hope to reserve the Jersey and Troche cakes next time.

Baked Cheesecake ¥470 is recommended. The cheese flavor is rich and delicious. Salted Pistachios ¥660 had the perfect amount of saltiness. When I visited at 12:30 on a weekday, there was a long line. Most of the cakes in the showcase were already sold out.

Last time, I couldn't get a reservation for the salted pistachio that I really wanted to eat because all the slots were full. But this time, I was able to reserve it three days in advance! Lately, it's been hard to get through on the phone even on weekday evenings. There are a lot of busy signals. I wonder what will happen in September if it continues like this. It will probably be even harder to get through. Luckily, the day I visited coincided with the release of a new cake, so I was able to reserve that too! - Salted Pistachio (660 yen): The nuts and caramel on top added a crunchy texture, and the hint of salt was nice. However, maybe because I had high expectations, it turned out to be just okay. It's delicious, but for the price of 660 yen for a small size, I expected something more outstanding. Sorry for being presumptuous. I apologize. It's just that the cakes I've had from Legute before were so delicious that I can't help but compare them. - Rare Cheesecake (570 yen): Grapefruit chunks mixed with cream cheese on a tart base. The taste was exactly as expected. It was good, but compared to the Torochi cheesecake I had last time, it felt ordinary. - Miyama (new): Mango mousse roll cake. It lacked impact compared to the other roll cakes I've had before. - Blueberry Tart (new) (640 yen): The tart was small but had a satisfying bite with chunks of blueberries on top. This was my favorite among the cakes I bought this time. It had a clear and delicious taste, and the yogurt cream on top paired well with the blueberries. I've been a repeat customer at Legute since they opened, enjoying their unique and impressive cakes. But this time, I couldn't find a cake with a significant impact. They were just delicious in a normal way. I've always found Legute's cakes worth the price, but for the first time, I thought they were a bit expensive this time. I didn't write reviews for all the cakes, but I've always expected something extraordinary from Legute based on my past experiences. I don't want it to end like this. It's a common phenomenon for a restaurant to struggle when too many customers come in, making it difficult to deliver their best performance.

Last time, I couldn't get the Jersey I wanted to eat, and after seeing recent reviews, I decided that I needed to make a reservation in advance. So this time, I made a reservation over the phone for Jersey Antleme at 13:30 two days before, and luckily got the last one! It turned out to be a small Antleme for two people, but it was a close call. By the way, on the day I visited (Saturday), both Jersey and salted pistachio were sold out for reservations and were not available at the store. The Jersey, which I hadn't had in a while, was amazing. The rich milk cream flavor and the fluffy sponge texture of Jersey are irresistible no matter when you eat it. Thank you for the meal! I wonder how many more times I can go? There are only a few times left, but I will visit again.
