Introducing Angelina

Hello, travelers! This is Asukarando, writer for [Sarukuma].

Today I’m excited to introduce you to Angelina, a delightful cake shop located in Ueki Town, Kita Ward, Kumamoto City.

Although the shop closed its doors a few years ago, it has happily reopened in a building at the back of the same property. I couldn’t wait to visit again after all this time!

Longtime locals will remember that the original ‘Angelina’ used to stand right here at the front.
The nostalgic atmosphere remains beautifully preserved. I have so many fond memories of opening this door for birthdays and celebrations.

There’s a flyer letting visitors know that ‘Angelina’ is now open at the back of the property!

And here’s the location of the new Angelina! (^^)

The signature ‘Angelina’ logo with its sweet little angel wings is exactly as I remembered it~ (*^.^*)

The new shop feels a bit smaller than before, but the cute and cozy atmosphere is just as charming as ever.

The display case is filled with a colorful selection of beautiful cakes (*^.^*)

Strawberry Shortcake β€” 540 yen

Fresh Chocolate Cake β€” 432 yen

Tiramisu β€” 464 yen

Strawberry Mousse β€” 486 yen

Opera Cake β€” 486 yen

Strawberry Tart β€” 540 yen

Smooth Pudding (Purin) β€” 280 yen

Rum Cake β€” 324 yen

Whipped Cream Decorated Cake (15cm) β€” 3,240 yen

Fresh Chocolate Decorated Cake (15cm) β€” 3,240 yen

Despite being topped with plenty of fresh fruit and adorable little cream puffs, the price is wonderfully reasonable!

Cheese Tarte (15cm) β€” 2,160 yen

Angelina’s beloved signature Cheese Tarte from years past!
It’s still here and as wonderful as ever (*^.^*)

If you’re lucky, you might also find ‘cake offcuts’ for sale!
These are the trimmed edges from making roll cakes, sold at a special discount β€” perfect for taking home and enjoying without the formality~ (^3^)/

They also offer a selection of baked sweets, which make wonderful gifts and souvenirs.

Since the shop is on the same property as before, the parking lot is still spacious and easy to use β€” great for visitors driving in.

Angelina’s Recommended Menu

When it comes to Angelina, this is the must-try!!

I treated myself to the iconic Cheese Tarte (^o^)/

I also picked up the owner’s namesake creation,

Maruyama Choux

And of course, the kid-favorite Fresh Chocolate Cake, topped with a mini cream puff and rich chocolate ganache!

First up, the long-awaited Cheese Tarte~ (*^.^*)

The moist, soft cheese filling melts beautifully in your mouth with a wonderfully creamy texture.

Next, the Maruyama Choux!

The perfectly round choux pastry has a delightfully crisp top, while the underside is soft and tender like a classic cream puff.

The cream inside is silky smooth, with a refreshing, lightly sweet flavor that isn’t overpowering (*^.^*)

And finally, the Fresh Chocolate Cake!!

Topped with rich ganache and a tiny cream puff, this is a cake that kids absolutely adore!

Chocolate sponge layered with chocolate cream β€” this one’s a dream come true for any chocolate lover (^3^)/

The lineup of cakes changes with the seasons, so it’s a real treat to visit at different times of year and discover new flavors~ d(^-^)
