About this place
Diners praise La Famille’s chiffon cake for its light, airy texture, while each flavour has its own character. The chocolate version has a cocoa aroma and a less-sweet sponge; the cheese chiffon, made with Edam, has a gentle savoury note and offers a change from sweeter cakes. The shop also suggests briefly warming the cheese chiffon in a toaster.
The tea chiffon is made with Ceylon tea leaves blended with flower petals and fruit. Pumpkin goes into both the sponge and the cream, though this flavour is not available in summer. One diner who tried it remembered the sweetness of the pumpkin in the fluffy cake, making it a flavour to look out for in season.
One diner paired raspberry chiffon with hot coffee and recalled the tart-sweet flavour of the raspberry as a highlight. Drinks include coffee, iced tea and tea served plain, with milk or with lemon, so you can choose a pairing to suit your cake. La Famille in Wakabayashi offers both dine-in and takeaway options, whether you want to enjoy chiffon cake there or take some home.
