I visited a top 100 sweets shop in Osaka, Higobashi for the first time. I arrived around 6 pm on a Saturday and was able to enter without waiting in line. The shop has a compact yet chic and sophisticated atmosphere. I purchased a Mont Blanc, which was moist, juicy, and had a cocoa aroma - it was delicious!

I visited "Chocolaterie Patisserie Solite," which was selected as one of the top 100 sweet shops in the 2023 Tabelog Sweets West. It is located in Nishi-ku, Osaka City, about an 8-minute walk from Higobashi Station on the Yotsubashi Line. The exterior and interior are predominantly gray, but the wooden shelves give a warm touch. The chef, Mr. Hashimoto, who trained at the famous Osaka patisserie "Nakatani-tei," opened this shop in 2015. I purchased the following items: a cake made with a whole peach called "Momono Sukoshi," which revealed plenty of custard and pie crust when sliced with a knife. It had a moderate sweetness that allowed the flavor of the peach to shine. The "White Peach Shortcake" featured a classic combination of sponge, whipped cream, and white peach, with a fluffy texture and a smooth creaminess that perfectly balanced the gentle sweetness of the white peach. I also enjoyed a cup of blended coffee. Thank you for the delicious experience.

Chocolat Classique for 470 yen and Crème d'Ange for 600 yen. I've been curious about this place for a while. The Classic Chocolat was rich and moist inside, while the Crème d'Ange had a light texture with yogurt and a tangy sauce on top that added a nice touch. Both cakes were delicious.

On August 17, 2023 (Thursday), I had the following dishes at the restaurant: - Fabrton (¥324 including tax): A traditional pastry from Brittany, France. It has a chewy texture with a hint of vanilla and rum flavor, and prunes as accents. - Fondant au Chocolat (¥450 including tax): A rich and smooth baked chocolate dessert.

Visited during the Friday opening hours. I didn't know that the eat-in time was from 12:00, but the owner kindly allowed me to eat in from 11:00 this time. The eat-in space had only 3 seats. I chose a cake from the showcase and then ordered a drink at my table. (Note: One drink is required for eat-in orders.) The ordered items were brought to my table, and after finishing eating, I paid at the counter. This time, I ordered a cake set (1,230 yen) which included: - Jade REMON - Rainier Cherry Tart A super limited edition Rainier Cherry Tart available for about 5 days. It was topped with juicy large Rainier cherries. The chocolate tart base was crispy and easy to cut with a knife. The cream was almond cream infused with Kirsch, giving it a rich aroma. The balance of flavors was excellent, and it was very delicious. They also had a variety of baked goods, so I will definitely visit again.

Higobashi Station, Hommachi Station, Awaaza Station, Nakanoshima Station, and Watanabebashi Station are all within a little over a 10-minute walk from this place. I happened to pass by and decided to check it out. They had a variety of products such as fresh sweets and baked goods, but it was too hot to carry them around, so I had a dilemma. The Fondant Chocolat was 450 yen, and the Bonbon Chocolat was 329 yen. The Bonbons had a very smooth texture. The Pistachio flavor was quite strong, and the Milk flavor was sweeter than expected. The Fondant Chocolat was rich and would be perfect to enjoy with a drink. It seems like a good place to buy souvenirs. If I have the chance, I would like to try their fresh sweets.

The drink menu is extensive, so I visited to try the éclair during French Patisserie Week 2023. For dine-in, you can order a set of cake and drink. The dine-in area is quite small. According to the notice, they also have parfaits depending on the season. The drink menu was varied. So, I had to order at least one drink for dine-in... but it was satisfying, not just reluctantly! I ordered an éclair and an iced tea based on oolong tea. The cake was delicious, but it has a fancy appearance, so if you're not confident like me to take it home, it might be better to eat in and then leave. You could also order a mini soft serve for an additional 300 yen.

This time, I visited a Western confectionery shop in search of financiers. I decided to get them as a snack for my husband, who prefers soft treats. I chose the popular almond-scented, moist financier, as we enjoy savoring delicious treats.

A cozy chocolate and cake shop with a natural atmosphere near Osaka's Utsubo Park. "Chocolaterie Patisserie Solilite" is a place where you can find delicious cakes and chocolates. I read online that chocolate specialty shops can be divided into four categories! It made sense to me! ★ "Luxury" that anyone would be happy to receive ★ "Affordable" that is simply delicious ★ "Stylish" for those who care about aesthetics ★ "Gourmet" for chocolate enthusiasts Quality is the most important factor ♥️ This shop definitely falls into the "Gourmet" category. They value the terroir of cocoa beans (unique flavors based on the region), pay attention to ingredients, and focus on bean-to-bar production (managing the entire chocolate-making process in-house). Their main attraction is chocolate cakes, along with petit gateaux and rich chocolates that chocolate lovers will enjoy. And of course, Bonbons ♥️ I chose 7 pieces, starting from 2 pieces. I remember that each piece was around 300 yen. ◉ Nature ◉ Hojicha ◉ Milk ◉ Yuzu ◉ Rocher ◉ Rooibos Caramel Apple ◉ Pistachio Each chocolate is delicate, with a wonderful combination of cocoa and ingredients, and a smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture. Particularly, "Nature" and "Rooibos Caramel Apple" were delicious. I usually favor San Nicola in Kanazawa when it comes to Japanese chocolatiers, but this place was equally delicious ♥️ However, it was disappointing to see these delicate and beautiful chocolates being put in simple packaging. I wish they had put them in a simple box for purchases of 6 or more, instead of just tossing them into a small bag like cheap candies. Many bakeries now put pastries like Danish and croissants under $3 in plastic cases to prevent them from getting deformed. It felt like there was a lack of care for the chocolates. It left me feeling sad. Thank you for the meal •*¨*•.¸¸♬

Last year's Christmas cake was the trigger for my long-awaited visit to SORILLETE. They accept cash, cards, electronic money, and Pay payment. Bags are charged separately, and they recommend bringing eco bags as they do not provide spoons or paper plates - they are very eco-friendly! The small and cute interior allows for eating in as well. They offer cakes made with seasonal fruits, chocolate cakes, baked goods, chocolates, and more. [Takeout items] - Santander 650 yen - Saint Martin 702 yen - Chocolin (chocolate pudding) 450 yen - Lyon 650 yen - Pistachio Strawberry 600 yen - Morning strawberry tart 702 yen - Coffret Chocolat 3,618 yen The chef, who trained at a chocolate factory in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo, and a famous shop in Osaka, seems unfriendly but is very serious and dedicated. Even when I asked silly questions like, "Are these two chocolates similar?" he patiently explained the differences between them. When I ordered a chocolate assortment, he made sure to tell me to store it in the fridge, which was very helpful as I tend to think chocolate should be stored at room temperature. All the items I bought were delicious and showed attention to detail, but my favorites were two cakes that were explained to me in detail. The shiny and dark "Santander" and the artistic "Saint Martin" with chantilly and ganache. The chocolates used in each cake are named after the regions of Colombia and Peru. The chocolate itself is robust, with complex cream and spice usage and a restrained sweetness. I couldn't stop eating them. I actually went back to buy more later. Truly a wonderful chocolate factory with so much depth. Surprisingly, it's only a 15-minute walk from my workplace. I can easily go there during my lunch break. They also sell soft-serve ice cream, and sometimes offer parfaits for eating in, so I can't wait to go back. Thank you for the delicious treats.

We went north from Abenoza and arrived at a chocolatier that my partner had checked out. The nearest station is Higobashi! The chocolatier pâtisserie Solileil offers a variety of chocolates, and it was hard to choose because there were so many options. We decided on 7 cute chocolates: Hojicha, Nature, Milk, Yuzu, Rocher, Rooibos Caramel Apple, and Pistachio. They were all delicious, but my favorites were Rooibos Caramel Apple and Pistachio. With so many options, you are sure to find your favorite chocolate. The prices are reasonable and highly recommended. Thank you for the meal!

(^-^)There were various strawberry cakes and mousses as shown in the photo. Since good strawberries were used, it seems that there will be plenty of strawberry cakes for the next four days. The main cakes were priced around 680-690 yen. This time, I purchased the strawberry and cocoa mousse for 690 yen, the meringue cake called Meringue Chantilly for 475 yen, and the Gâteau Chocolat. The mousse had a gentle texture, the crispy meringue and the flavor of the whipped cream were delicious, and the cocoa in the Gâteau Chocolat was also tasty. I'm not sure if they make them here, but I would like to try their chocolate macarons. I will definitely be purchasing more items here again. (*^^*)

I stopped by this shop and the most popular recommendation seems to be the chocolate cake, but I'm not a fan of rich desserts like that. I received a sakura Mont Blanc instead and paid 756 yen with a card before heading home. When I had it at home, I still found the dessert too sweet. It seemed like there was a hint of brandy in it, which surprised me, but overall, it was tasty and satisfying enough.

I purchased at the event "The Charm of Cookies" held at Hankyu Department Store from March 1st to 14th, 2023. I fell in love with the can at first sight...! This monkey is too cute. The colors make me feel energetic! The excitement when opening the can is also 100 points ❤️ I liked the chocolate snowball and meringue cookies that melt in your mouth. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Popular chocolate cake shop near Fir Park. Visited for the first time on a holiday afternoon. Many delicious cakes, chocolates, and baked goods on display. There are only three chairs inside, and currently no eating in is allowed. Purchased: 2 Cocoa Pod Assortment (1405 yen each), Lemon Cake (339 yen), Tigre 60days (325 yen), Keck Caramel (278 yen), Animal Chocolate (328 yen), Shoegurman Chocola (454 yen), Original Pouch (300 yen). Total: 5223 yen. Tried the Shoegurman Chocola. Description: "Bitter cocoa choux pastry filled with Colombian Santa Marta chocolate custard." Elegant appearance. The chocolate cream inside had a smooth texture resembling ganache. Very delicious. Each item had a unique charm. I believe this shop has the potential to become a top 100 establishment.

Higo Bridge ◇ Patisserie ◇ [Nishi-ku, Edobori 2-chome] Located on the second street to the west after turning south at the intersection of Tosabori Street and Naniwa-suji (Tosabori 1), on the right side, is the "Chocolaterie Patisserie Solilite" lunch. After finishing lunch, I stopped by this shop on a whim. Since there were no customers, I was able to take my time choosing. ◆ Chocolin (450 yen) ◆ Caramel Banane (540 yen) ◆ Santander (650 yen) The first two went to my daughter and family, and I had the Santander. When I looked up what Santander was, I found out it's a place in Colombia, South America. The Santander cake is made with cocoa from Santander, and it was delicious. Even though there's nothing to compare it to, it hit the spot for me. "Thank you for the meal."

Located in the middle between Honmachi and Higobashi, this patisserie offers baked goods that are easy to carry. I purchased the honey and pecan nut sablé, which is apparently the most popular, as well as a brownie, financiers, and a flan. They were all simple yet had a good texture, making them easy to eat.

I passed by this restaurant near my workplace several times and always wanted to try it, but never had the chance because I always passed by on my days off. I happened to have some errands at the post office nearby, so I decided to stop by the shop. It was snack time, and I wanted to get some souvenirs for my female coworkers at the office - the baked goods, cakes, chocolates, all looked delicious. I wanted to buy a cake but thought it would be hard to eat at work, so I ended up buying a pudding. It was a white chocolate pudding with a fruit sauce on the side, showing the craftsmanship of the maker. I brought it back to the office and tried it. The fruit sauce was full of berries, with a generous amount of fruit chunks. It was so delicious! The pudding had a subtle vanilla scent and the white chocolate was not too sweet, very elegant. The sauce balanced the sweetness of the fruit with its acidity perfectly, creating an exquisite harmony. It was so delicious, I felt like I could eat ten of them (laughs). The female coworkers at the office were also delighted and impressed by how tasty it was. I would like to try the cakes next time. I also heard they had a limited-time pistachio soft-serve ice cream in the summer, but unfortunately, it was already gone. I love pistachios, so I definitely want to try it if they have it next time.

On July 9, 2022, at 5:00 PM, I had a rich chocolate soft serve ice cream for 650 yen. It was too thick for such a hot and humid 33°C weather. In this heat, I would prefer a shaved ice dessert. This soft serve ice cream would be better enjoyed in autumn or winter.
