PARK STORE (Cafe The SUN LIVES HERE)

Located near Setagaya Park, PARK STORE is celebrated for its decadent cream-filled donuts made with chewy, fluffy dough that overflows with filling upon taking a bite. Popular varieties include matcha, chocolate dusted with cocoa and sugar, raspberry, and cheese, alongside their standout fresh cream cheesecake. Because of their popularity, these sought-after takeaway pastries frequently sell out early.

Audience reactions are largely excited about the affordable pricing under $4 and the unique malasada-style pastries. While many crave the rich, voluminous desserts, some express hesitation about the intense calorie count and potential messiness of the overflowing cream. Additionally, occasional skepticism arises over whether Japanese cheesecake compares to traditional versions.
