Lupicia

Lupicia's culinary offerings center on traditional Japanese confections reimagined with French pastry techniques, creating a unique bridge between two sophisticated dessert cultures. The menu is intentionally focused, featuring a curated selection of house-made pastries designed specifically to enhance the tea-drinking experience rather than overpower it.

The signature Tarte Yuzu Citron showcases the Japanese citrus that's prized for its complex, aromatic flavor—more floral and nuanced than standard lemon. This tart balances the bright acidity of yuzu with a delicate sweetness, creating a refreshing accompaniment to both green and white teas. The Finger Pistache Matcha represents a more contemporary creation, combining the earthy, slightly bitter notes of ceremonial-grade matcha with the subtle richness of pistachio in an elegant, finger-sized format perfect for afternoon tea.

The dorayakis—traditional Japanese pancake sandwiches—are offered in three distinctive flavors that represent different aspects of Japanese confectionery tradition. The matcha version delivers the pure, grassy sweetness of green tea, while the yuzu brings citrus brightness, and the black sesame (goma) offers a nutty, toasted complexity. These fluffy, slightly sweet pancakes filled with smooth bean paste or cream provide a comforting, traditional element to the menu.

Each pastry is crafted in-house, ensuring freshness and quality control. The portions are designed in the Japanese style—refined and not overly large—encouraging you to savor each bite mindfully alongside your tea. The pastry menu works in harmony with the extensive tea selection, with staff able to recommend ideal pairings that bring out the best in both elements. Whether you're drawn to the bright, citrus-forward creations or the deeper, more earthy matcha and sesame offerings, each pastry reflects a commitment to authentic Japanese flavors and high-quality ingredients.
