🍰 1️⃣ Japanese Cheesecake
Kick off your Jersey City dessert crawl with the iconic Japanese-style cheesecake. Unlike dense New York cheesecake, this one is famed for its light, airy, and pillowy texture—like eating a fluffy cloud with just the right hint of sweetness.
✅ Where to get it:
-
Fluffy Fluffy Go (that’s us!) – Our signature burnt-top Japanese cheesecake is baked fresh and perfect for sharing.
-
Enjoy it in-store or take it to-go for a picnic at Van Vorst Park.
✨ Photo Tip: Snap that iconic jiggle video and tag @fluffyfluffy.go to be featured on our page!
🥧 2️⃣ Cheese Tarts
Next, indulge in rich, creamy Japanese cheese tarts. Think buttery crust filled with luscious cream cheese custard, baked until the top is beautifully caramelized.
✅ Find them at:
-
Fluffy Fluffy Go – We bake these in small batches for peak freshness.
-
Pair them with a hot matcha latte for a perfect cozy treat.
Local tip: These are excellent for gifts—grab a box for friends or family!
🍵 3️⃣ Matcha Roll Cake
No Japanese dessert crawl is complete without something green-tea flavored! Matcha roll cakes are soft, spongey rolls filled with whipped matcha cream for a bittersweet balance.
✅ Where to find it:
-
Check local Japanese markets or bakeries in nearby Jersey City and Hoboken—some special-order them
✨ Insider’s tip: Ask about matcha drinks to complement your roll cake!
🍡 4️⃣ Mochi
A classic and beloved bite-sized treat! Mochi is chewy rice dough with sweet fillings—from red bean to ice cream.
✅ Find it in Jersey City:
-
Asian grocery stores like Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater (a short ride away) stock many varieties.
-
Some local dessert spots in Jersey City sell mochi ice cream in flavors like matcha, mango, and black sesame.
Pro Tip: Buy a few flavors to share with friends along the crawl!
🐟 5️⃣ Taiyaki
End your crawl with a whimsical treat! Taiyaki are warm, fish-shaped cakes traditionally filled with red bean paste but now often offered with custard, Nutella, or matcha cream.
✅ Where to try it:
-
While Jersey City doesn’t have a dedicated taiyaki shop yet, watch for local Asian dessert pop-ups or events.
-
For a nearby fix, check Taiyaki NYC in Manhattan—it’s worth the trip across the river!
Local dream: We’d love to bring Taiyaki to Jersey City—let us know if you want to see it at Fluffy Fluffy Go!
