Today, I’m introducing a hidden gem in Hayama’s residential area, the renowned cake and coffee shop “MEGMOG SWEETS&CAFE.”
If you’re craving something sweet in Hayama, this is the place to go. This small cake café is run by Megumi, a pastry chef with over 20 years of experience, and her barista husband.
Now, let’s dive into the charm of MEGMOG SWEETS&CAFE.
Charm ①: The Perfect Pairing of Exquisite Cakes and Coffee
The signature item at MEGMOG, the **Hazelnut Crumble Cheesecake (630 yen)**, is an unforgettable delight.
Made with **three types of cheese (cream cheese, mascarpone, and sour cream)** and generously infused with vanilla beans, it offers a rich and luxurious flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth texture is the result of Megumi’s expertise in fine-tuning the oven temperature and baking time.
The base is crafted with **hazelnut powder**, allowing the nutty aroma to complement the rich cheese perfectly.
The hint of lemon adds a refreshing touch, making it enjoyable till the last bite!
Pair it with their carefully brewed hand-drip coffee (520 yen), and it’s the ultimate match. The sweetness of the cake and the depth of the coffee create a perfect harmony.
Charm ②: Seasonal Mont Blanc with Unique Ingredients
The **Mont Blanc (730 yen)**, available from autumn to winter, is a must-try for chestnut lovers.
The base is made with **gluten-free sponge cake packed with chestnuts**. Layered on top are **cassis mousse and fresh cassis**, creating a delightful balance of sweet chestnut and tart cassis.
This is followed by unsweetened whipped cream with bits of marron glacé, topped with a generous swirl of **cream blended with French and Japanese chestnuts**.
The tartness of cassis enhances the sweetness of the chestnuts, making it refreshing till the end!
The beautifully layered cut reveals a stunning cross-section, making it perfect for social media.
To keep the perfect cross-section, cut it with a knife! I used a fork and regretted it…
Charm ③: A Hidden Gem in Hayama’s Residential Area
MEGMOG SWEETS&CAFE is tucked away in a quiet residential area of Hayama, far from the bustling tourist spots.
The interior, designed with a minimalist white theme, exudes sophistication and tranquility. Every corner of the café feels Instagram-worthy, with custom-made tables and chairs that enhance the peaceful atmosphere.
