Chez Shibata is a Japanese pastry shop from Nagoya, Japan. It opened a shop here in Elements a while ago but it closed after a while. I thought the cakes were lovely though a bit on the expensive side.Well, it's back! Taken under it's wing by Tsui Wah as they venture into a more Japanese inspired dining area in Central.

Well, it's back! Taken under it's wing by Tsui Wah as they venture into a more Japanese inspired dining area in Central. Located behind the Beat Bakery, is a coffee shop.
Seating here is much like many cafes. They even have places for you to charge your laptop or phone. Menu is in English and Chinese. Serving not only cakes but they also have coffee, tea and other drinks along with salads and sandwiches. There is no 10% service charge. Dining in, they will bring the food to you after you order at the cashier.
I ordered a strawberry short cake ($39) and if you add $18, you get a coffee so I chose a latte. The cake was pretty to look at. The sponge was soft and moist. The cream fluffy and slightly sweet. How Japanese cream usually is. The strawberries were sweet and fresh. The blueberries were a nice touch. For $39, this is a great deal for cake!
I ordered a latte. They had a cute little motto on top of the foam. However, the coffee was pretty much forgettable. It was bland. Definitely not recommend the coffee here.
Service was exceptional. There is someone who explains things to you that it got a bit distracting while I was trying to decide on a cake. The cakes were great and prices not expensive at all. It is very quiet here. Seating is comfortable and I would definitely be back if I needed a cake break.
