About this place
At cafe Cherish, the Mermaid Parfait is a treat to admire when it arrives, then explore as you work your way through its layers. The menu’s “Mermaid Lemon Quartz Lagoon Parfait” combines vanilla ice cream and panna cotta with lemon sauce, jelly, whipped cream, baked sweets, cream cheese, berry sauce and more. One visitor recalled the taste of the red star on the Mermaid Parfait, a detail that suggests there is more to enjoy than its colourful appearance.
One diner described the parfait as generously sized. It may be worth deciding whether to make it the focus of your order or pair it with a drink and take your time, rather than adding another dish. For a contrast of tart and rich flavours, there is also the “Cassis Berry & Chocolate Parfait”, with cassis sorbet and chocolate ice cream, as well as shiratama rice dumplings, panna cotta, baked sweets and berries. Its combination is quite different from the lemon-led mermaid parfait.
For a vivid blue drink, try “Blue Flower Healing”, a butterfly pea herbal tea. The suggested way to enjoy it is to start with the tea plain, then add the lemon served alongside. For a sweetly scented tea, “Beauty Rose Vanilla Tea” blends vanilla tea with natural rose petals. It is available iced or hot, so you can choose the temperature to go with your parfait.
Visitors have mentioned enjoying the appearance of the parfaits and drinks, as well as the small decorative touches around the café. The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining, making it an option when you would like to settle in and take your time choosing something sweet.
