We ended the week with a slice of chocolate cake, so it only feels right to start this week off with another, no? Today we bring you a slice ($3.25) from Cafe Zaiya. So perfect and petite; very Japanese. Milk chocolate, light and fluffy, plenty of cream. Maybe even too much cream—I definitely needed a hot cup of tea to cut this. Also spotted: strawberry shortcake, matcha puddings, and mont blancs galore.
