Columbus

For chestnut lovers, the chestnut pie is an obvious place to start. One customer says it contains generous pieces of chestnut and is thoughtfully made to be easy to hold and less likely to spill. Another recalls its buttery flavour. Some customers have chosen it as a gift, making it an option both for a personal treat and for sharing a baked sweet with someone else.

If you prefer fresh cakes, the light cream is worth noting. Customers have described the whipped cream in the shortcake as mild and easy to eat, and others say the cream’s lightness stayed with them. The cherry pie has also drawn praise for its refined, not-too-sweet flavour, light cream and crisp pastry. If you are torn between cake and baked goods, choosing a pie is another way to go.

Takeaway is available, but there is no dine-in service. Columbus is a dessert shop in Hazawa, Nerima City, and can be a stop when you are looking for sweets to enjoy at home. The listing notes that the entrance is not wheelchair accessible.
