I was pleasantly surprised to see a bakery with a Japanese name in the neck of this neighborhood.The store is situated in a polite and discrete section of the shopping complex.Once inside, we were welcomed by their display case, showcasing their products and some cheerful-looking boxes, immediately drawing visitors' attention.The person at the counter was very knowledgeable of the products and prompt to recommend a few, while I felt a bit embarrassed approaching the person in Japanese.While the product's taste is very non-Japanese, they skillfully utilized the concept of such known dairy products in Japan.The box I chose, containing six pieces, had a meticulous structure inside, ensuring each piece occupied its respective allotted space equally and comfortably.I completely understand these products can be trendy, drawing the people curious of such products :)

I've been dying to go here! Every time I came to the area, it is closed (because they close rather early). But not this time... I had made it just in time the day I went!!! I have 0 regrets. It was everything I expected it to be.I ordered the original flavor and the ube/purple yam one. I loved both. The crust was harder than I wanted it to be because I didn't get it fresh. But it didn't take away from my experience. The fillings on both were lovely. I enjoyed the original cheese tart. The consistency reminded me a little bit of flan but more thick and creamy! The ube one had more of the cream cheese consistency. I have no complaints about the textures... I thought it was unique since the last cheese tart's filling I had (elsewhere) was harder. The lady working that day was super efficient and nice! I appreciated her service. The place is pretty small... a grab and go place rather than one to really sit inside. There is minimal seating. But that doesn't really matter, in my opinion, because everyone is on the go at this shopping center.I'm definitely coming back to try the other flavors. Can't wait for my next trip!

Open only saturdays and sundays with a plethora of flavors to choose from. I think they've recently added cakes to their menu as well! The cheese tarts are made from Hokkaido milk which is well known for being smooth and creamier than any other kind of milk. I've heard so much about it so I was really excited to give it a try. Unfortunately while the center of the tarts were indeed gooey (when warmed up), the tart itself was hard as shortbread but a lot drier. Only their creme Brûlée egg tart is not made with that hard crust and a flaky crispy delicate pastry.I really wish all the egg tarts were made that way. When I got my tarts they were definitely not warm so the center wasn't even melty as I had expected, though I'm not sure if they just cooled down super fast in the time it took for my friend and I to leave, get some other snacks, and sit down and crack them open. When cool the center was kinda like a lighter pudding/thicker mousse consistency whereas when heated it was like the melty center of a basque cheesecake. I've tried ube, chocolate, salted caramel, and the creme brûlée egg tart and the chocolate is a lovely medium to dark chocolate flavor reminiscent of the Godiva chocolate mousse cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. It's topped with peanuts if I'm not mistaken. Salted caramel had a caramel center that you'd only find when you bite into it and topped with Frosted Flakes and caramel drizzle. Ube was well ube It's 4 for 12 and I ordered three and dumbly forgot a fourth would've made my total less. I wish the girl at the register had mentioned it to me but she didn't say anything and just rung me up. Can't say I'll be back (unless it's for the tiramisu ice cream but their ice cream machine was never working whenever I had gone in in the past soooo)

These Hokkaido cheese tarts were pretty yummy. The crust was buttery and hard while the inside was gooey and creamy - a wonderful combo. They were not too sweet and each flavor was recognizable through its taste. 6 of them were $23. My favorite was the matcha one!

When there is no parking, I have to go to this garage Anyways, there is a baked cheese tart shop right on the corner after exiting! There are mini baked cheese tarts with different types- ube, hokkaido cream, matcha, cookies n cream, I don't remember the rest. I got hokkaido cream, matcha and chocolate. I was careless with the cute little box it comes in and it toppled over (in photo) but that's on me lol. HOKKAIDO CREAM/CHEESE IS YUMMY. That is all.

Hokkaido Cheese Tart makes very creamy and delightful cheese tarts! I ordered salted caramel, matcha, and original. Original was definitely my favorite due to the simplicity of the flavor. The flavor is inspired by Hokkaido dairy and it definitely come through in the tart. The salted caramel was also very good! Not overly sweet, but very messy to eat. The tarts are $4.25 each which is kind of pricey for the size. But it's worth the novelty of the pastry because you can't get anything close to Hokkaido dairy here in America. Their cheese tart is a perfect pick me up!

I really liked these cheesy egg tarts, with a Japanese flare. Purchased a half dozen in different flavors I really like the Ube flavored cheese tart, as wasn't as dense or heavy and has a subtle Ube taste that I really enjoyed. The Matcha tart was also good, but would prefer more of that green tea flavor. Salted Caramel was a bit messy fell apart after my first bite. Place is small without much place to sit, so its best to purchase and go. It's about $4 per tart- kind of pricey for a dessert snack that could be consumed within a couple of bites. Overall, good tart experience

Delicious cheese tart! Love the crunchy crust. Not too sweet. My new to go place. Never knew they were here behind Forever 21 at Atlas.

Substantial crust to hold the light and creamy filling. Tried original, chocolate & mango which tastes like you’re biting into the fruit. Not overly sweet. A bit pricey but had to try it. Glad we did.

Decadent little desserts. Great if you have a sweet tooth, and palatable even if you don't. They are a little on the pricier side but they are well crafted desserts. We had the ube, strawberry, and original. The ube was a great balance of flavors and would highly recommend. Shop is small, so very intimate if you plan to enjoy there but plenty of spaces to enjoy outside as well. For texture preferences or if unfamiliar : Know that they are a bit gooey on the inside and not as solid as you may expect.

I saw this place every time I go to Atlas mall and I finally decided to try it and lemme tell you this is not a regret . Sooo good. I got the salted caramel.

BLUF: Good for those who like a combination of sweet and savory flavors in one dessert. Hokkaido Cheese Tarts mainly offers variations on one product -- cheese tarts. Hokkaido's tarts have a uniformly hard, thick, dry, slightly crispy crust, with filings that are soft and slightly salty. The Salted Caramel is probably the best fit for a cheese tart. The sharp, salty nature of the cheese filings didn't seem to pair with the other flavors we tried -- Chocolate, Ube, Matcha. Despite inflation raising prices for nearly everything, pricing for Hokkaido cheese tarts has held, starting at $4.25 plus tax for one tart. Discounts may be had for those who order more. For us, Hokkaido's cheese tarts were interesting to try, but once.

The prices are very expensive. I’ve tried their cheese tarts before and they are delicious however I went in for a peach smoothie, and they didn’t have any flavors besides mango. I got mango while also wanting to whip cream on top, The worker there went to go put whip cream on top and it was all watery so he went to the back to look for more and said that there was none so he made me a new drink and tried to get out the whip cream again, there was no whip cream left and he deeply apologized. how are you going to have a business open and have a little to no stock of things? I don’t even want the smoothie anymore.
