Hello to our wonderful community and cherished customers!

We were recently graced with the presence of a long-time customer who shared a heartwarming tale of her journey with SUZUYA. It’s stories like hers that remind us of the beautiful relationships we’ve built over the years and how they propel us forward.

She spoke fondly of her memories visiting our original, much cozier location, highlighting the remarkable transformation and growth SUZUYA has experienced. As she navigated through the aisles of our now spacious bakery, nostalgia washed over her. It was touching to hear her recount the old days while simultaneously expressing her excitement for our current success and potential expansions.

In her words, “Everyone should be lucky enough to have SUZUYA accessible to them.” And we couldn’t agree more. Although a significant portion of our clientele is from the southwest area, we’re constantly amazed and grateful for those who journey from further regions like Henderson just to get a taste of our offerings. Each customer, whether near or far, holds a special place in our hearts.

Speaking of tastes, let’s dive into some exciting news on the flavor front! Our new cheesecake has been causing quite the stir. This isn’t just any cheesecake – it’s our take on a Filipino-inspired sensation. From its very first day, it became an instant hit, and for a good reason. Topped with a light and nostalgically creamy layer, beautifully piped to perfection, it’s finished with toasted coconut flakes to give that iconic Filipino touch. A slice of this is a trip down memory lane for some and a delightful discovery for others.

We invite all of you to visit us, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been with us since our humble beginnings. Together, we celebrate not just the growth of SUZUYA, but also the unwavering support of our community. Here’s to many more memories, flavors, and perhaps new locations in the future!

With heartfelt gratitude,
The SUZUYA Team.

Greetings to all our lovely patrons and those yet to set foot in SUZUYA!

One of the joys of working here is observing the regulars who’ve made SUZUYA more than just a cafe. We’ve seen many who have turned our place into their own personal rendezvous spot. Whether it’s friends catching up, informal meetings, or diligent students absorbed in their study dates, there’s always a familiar face around.

There’s this one patron who’s caught our eye lately. He makes our space his own, meeting a myriad of individuals one after the other. For every meeting, he introduces them to our delicacies – sometimes a cup of coffee, sometimes tea, and occasionally our mouthwatering Sando. He’s even got a list of his favorite items, helping his company pick the best from our menu. Observing from the side, he’s truly living the dream. Imagine, listening to calming tunes, engaging in heartfelt conversations, and savoring the best of what SUZUYA has to offer – all in a day’s work!

But it’s not just about the regulars. We love it when they introduce someone new to our space. There’s nothing like seeing a first-timer’s reaction to our offerings.

Speaking of offerings, here at SUZUYA, innovation in our kitchen never stops. Our chefs are continually crafting new and exciting recipes, whether they’re seasonal specials or additions to our main menu. We’re thrilled to announce the latest addition – the Matcha Brownie. After rigorous testing and refining, our chefs achieved a brownie with a rich matcha flavor that strikes the perfect balance between taste and sweetness. It’s tailor-made for those who appreciate the subtle bitterness of authentic matcha.

Last but not least, a heartwarming tale about mochis. Levi’s grandkids, all the way from San Jose, California, are die-hard fans of our mochi. The twins recently visited Las Vegas and indulged in our mochis almost daily while staying with their grandma. Although the mango mochi remains a favorite, it’s a seasonal delight. Sadly, the wait for its return will be a year. Till then, there’s plenty more to explore and enjoy.

Thank you for making SUZUYA a part of your stories. Whether it’s your first visit or hundredth, we’re always here, waiting to serve you with a smile and a delectable treat.

With love and warmth,
The SUZUYA Team.

If we could describe our Tokyo Cheesecake in just a few words, we would say it is exciting, yet simple. Customers say that they even sometimes favor it more than Strawberry Shortcake because of the beauty behind its simplicity. We bake the cake in such a way that it does jiggle when it is straight out of the oven, then we let it settle in our fridge. When it stiffens, the texture becomes just right for us to top it with a light apricot glaze. The end result is something creamy that satisfies that craving for sweetness without going overboard with sugar. Our Tokyo Cheesecake is available for special decoration for those extra important occasions, and even seasonally in the fall with Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) cream on top! If you decide to visit Suzuya, please keep an eye out for this wonderful item.

Seasonal twists for regular items are some of the things I look forward to at Suzuya. Our chefs would always come up with daily specials that would incorporate flavors and fruits that are in season.

After a long wait, we are finally able to bring back the rare cheesecake. Unlike before, our rare cheesecake now has different flavors depending on the fruit combination of the day.

Out of all the flavors they have put out, my favorite would be the ones that include mangoes. Chef Misuzu once explained how difficult it is to choose the right mango variety that had the perfect taste and texture. Our chefs continue to find the past ingredients to highlight the delicate flavors of our cheesecake. The sweetness of the mangoes enhances the cake’s cream cheese flavor, while the tangy taste balances its creaminess.

There is always something new and exciting at Suzuya. To keep thanks for all our seasonal items, you can follow our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Some people think green tea is an acquired taste and it’s something that I’ve observed customers consider when buying cakes for their loving ones. I always tell our customers that Suzuya’s green tea log cake is always a great choice. The red bean cream complements the earthy flavor of the green tea sponge cake which makes it pleasing to everyone’s pallet. The white chocolate almond praline has an incredible sweet roasted flavor. All these components make up one cake that will surely be a new favorite. New customers come to the store looking for the green tea log cake. They would tell us that a friend or family gave it to them as a gift before and they can’t help but want more.

Here at Suzuya, we don’t recommend cakes just to sell them, we recommend flavor so that our customers can try our own personal favorites. My answer would always change depending on the season. Lately, I’ve been recommending my summer favorite: the coconut chiffon cake. I’d always mention how I love how the lightness of the chiffon cake balances the richness of the coconut custard cream. It’s a delicate cake with just the right amount of coconut flavor.

We’re always excited when our customers take our recommendations knowing that they’ll love it as much as we do.

Yes, it does. Once you try or if you’ve had our Chocolate cake before, that is exactly what your answer would be. 

Another favorite amongst our customers and team members, Suzuya Patisserie and Cafe’s chocolate cake is definitely something to try. Layers and layers of frosting made from  high quality chocolate, and thinly sliced chocolate sponge cake brushed with rum syrup make it ultimately rich and sweet without the need for additional sweetener. To top it all off, it is decorated with chocolate shavings and shards of chocolate-coated feuilletine. Very tempting, isn’t it? 

Not everything has to be complicated; at least at Suzuya. Something simple like this delectable treat does the trick. Maybe stop by today before we run out? Sounds like a plan!

It is the cutest month of the year at SUZUYA!

 It gets filled with pink, red, hearts, and roses.  Yes, Roses! This year we collaborated with ClaireFlora, a local flower business.

 I always think that cakes and flowers should work together.Here are the reasons

  1. Cakes/Flower gifting power 
  2. Flower at the beginning (get attention) then cake , sharing, conversation(Expand)
  3. Flowers can make it even more personal 

1. We, cake and flower, are both one of the best gifting items. 

 For birthdays, family gatherings, weddings, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. 

 For any occasion, cakes and flowers are for making the moment happy and exciting.

 Cakes and flowers are the best gift for any ages, for personal relationships, family, and friends. Because they are perishable they are a present  for a  limited amount of time. So gift givers or receivers have a lighter commitment to the feelings, compared to items that last forever… for example, clothing, jewelry, or accessories …

Cakes and flowers generally have a short life, I would say a couple of days to a week.

Cakes might have a 30min life if they eat it right away!!! 

 The Beauty is there. Great stuff doesn’t last long. We find value for limited time. 

  1. Imagine you are gifting flower and cake….

Gifting flower is WOW factor from the second you have it in your hand even before giving it to the person.  The smell, the look, the beauty that earth creates, the nutrients for your senses. 

When I was growing up, my mother would always have flowers in our garden. Now, living in the desert, it makes me crave them even more! 

Of course, flowers make presents even more personal. For occasions like Valentine’s Day, it is the best item to impress your love. 

Then after the flower magic, now it is relaxing time.

When you are handing the cake box,  then open the box…. To see the cake inside. The each step has special feelings. 

When you slice the cake and serve, sharing is caring. Our favorite moment after the meal. Relax and enjoy your time with pleasant  conversation while having tea with a slice of cake. 

3.Here is the flower fact by Amy, the owner of Claire Flora 

The reason why flowers are more personal is that it gives you a connection to nature, to something beyond your normal, fast-paced environment. Colors also make you happier through chromotherapy, which uses color to balance “energy” that’s lacking from a persons body, whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental levels.

 Make sense? 

Thats why I think Cakes and Flowers are the best gift items. 

We are working on what we can create together to make each customer’s occasion even more special and memorable. 

We are very excited what we can do with Claire Flora.
