Patisserie Tomoko

Chef Tomoko's small Williamsburg shop makes Japanese desserts with French technique: matcha roll cakes, cheesecakes, mille crêpes and seasonal tarts in a glass case at the front, and a short dessert bar where the real event happens.

On weekends, the bar serves a three-course flight of seasonal desserts paired with wine or sake — plated, composed, and as considered as a savory tasting menu. Any day, the green tea crème brûlée is the order, and black sesame and yuzu turn up through the menu. It makes a gentle end to a night out in Williamsburg.
