Featured Items
Shoe Caramel — ¥590 (tax included)
A carefully baked cookie choux is generously filled with deep, rich caramel custard, with a molten caramel sauce tucked inside. It's finished with caramelized pecan nuts on top, creating a satisfying cream puff where the full richness of caramel can be enjoyed.
Tarte Aurélia — ¥760 (tax included)
A fragrant tart shell is layered with a chocolate ganache enriched with sour cream. The smooth ganache, known for its refreshing aftertaste, is paired with a peanut florentine for a pleasing contrast in texture — a satisfying yet light tart.
Caramel Fraise — ¥800 (tax included)
A melt-in-the-mouth vanilla mousse and caramel cream are combined with a strawberry compote full of juicy fruit texture. Layers of crisp cookie add a textural contrast against the smooth cream, while the strawberry's bright tartness and the caramel's mellow sweetness fill every bite.
Caramel Marron — ¥700 (tax included)
A sponge base kneaded with sweet potato is paired with a flavorful chestnut custard cream and a soft, smooth caramel mousse. It's a cake for the season, letting you enjoy the tastes of autumn all in one bite.

Gaïa — ¥720 (tax included)
A perennial favorite and one of Criollo's signature cakes, "Gaïa" won the Entremet category at 「世界パティスリー2009」. Smooth vanilla mousse and caramel cream are layered with a crisp, crunchy nut base and a moist almond sponge baked with plenty of almonds.
Layer upon layer of contrasting textures draws out the character of each ingredient, coming together in a finely balanced creation.

A special cake that fuses Criollo's No. 1 sweet, the "Phantom Cheesecake," with its signature "Gaïa," winner of a world championship. A soft, melting cheesecake is layered with a deep, mellow caramel made with Guérande salt, finished with the crisp crunch of caramelized pecan nuts as an accent.
Caramel Chocolat Parfait — ¥1,300 (tax included)
A luxurious parfait layering two flavors of soft serve — chocolate and milky. A moist chocolate sponge is tucked inside, finished with a generous drizzle of housemade caramel sauce.
