Pairing Desserts with Drinks: Coffee, Tea, and Wine with Our Cakes & Tarts

Why Pair Desserts with Drinks?

Desserts are delicious on their own, but when you match them with the right drink, the flavors shine even more. A sip of coffee, tea, or wine can bring out sweetness, balance richness, or add freshness to every bite. The right pairing makes eating dessert feel like a full experience, not just a snack.


Mille Crepe Cakes and Coffee

Mille crepe cakes are light and creamy, with many delicate layers. They pair beautifully with coffee.

  • Classic Vanilla Mille Crepe – A smooth cappuccino or latte adds warmth and balances the soft creaminess.
  • Matcha Mille Crepe – Pair with a flat white or light roast coffee to bring out the earthy green tea flavor.
  • Chocolate Mille Crepe – A strong espresso or mocha deepens the chocolate taste and adds a bold kick.

Coffee’s slight bitterness balances the sweetness of the cream, making each bite more enjoyable.


Cheesecake and Tea

Cheesecakes are richer and denser, which makes tea a perfect companion. The gentle flavors of tea cut through the heaviness, creating balance.

  • New York Baked Cheesecake – Try with English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea for a classic combination.
  • No-Bake Fruit Cheesecake – Green tea or jasmine tea adds freshness and keeps the flavors light.
  • Basque Burnt Cheesecake – A strong black tea like Assam complements the caramelized top and creamy center.

Tea brings calmness to cheesecake, making it feel both comforting and refreshing.


Tarts and Wine

Tarts are colorful and full of character. A glass of wine makes them feel even more elegant.

  • Fruit Tart – Pair with sparkling wine or Prosecco. The bubbles match the juicy fruits and keep the bite lively.
  • Chocolate Tart – Red wine, like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, enhances the richness of chocolate.
  • Lemon Tart – A sweet white wine such as Moscato or Riesling balances the tartness with a gentle sweetness.

Wine turns a simple tart into a dessert to celebrate with. Each sip and bite feel like a little moment of luxury.


Creating Your Own Pairings

There are no strict rules—only what makes you happy. If you enjoy coffee with cheesecake or tea with chocolate tart, that’s perfect too. The key is balance: strong drinks with rich desserts, light drinks with fresh or fruity desserts. Try different combinations and see which one makes your taste buds smile.


A Complete Experience

At our shop, we believe desserts are more than just sweets. They are memories, stories, and experiences. Pairing your favorite cake or tart with the right drink makes the moment even more special. So next time you enjoy a slice of mille crepe, cheesecake, or tart, add a cup or a glass of something that complements it—and taste the magic of harmony.
