CAFE LA BASTILLE

CAFE LA BASTILLE is a cheesecake spot near Sapporo TV Tower. The coffee is good, and the signature cheesecake is unique, but one slight issue is that it's a smoking cafe. As a nonsmoker who thought Japan would be culturally similar due to its proximity, I was surprised by the cultural differences starting from the little things. I didn't know that most old Japanese traditional cafes (kissaten) still allow smoking to this day. I only stopped by for the cheesecake, not knowing it was a smoking cafe, and was quite taken aback. However, as soon as I entered, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, and the coffee was delicious. Especially, the cheesecake, served with blueberry sauce, was so delicious in its unique style. For smokers, it might be a great cafe in Sapporo.
