The Four Seasons pop-up bakery is offering a range of classic desserts alongside thoughtfully designed, new limited-time treats, covering everything from breakfast to afternoon tea.

Four Seasons ifc pop-up bakery recommendation 1: Signature pick: Japanese Cheese Tart

The star this time is undoubtedly the “Japanese Cheese Tart,” available in Vanilla (HK$ 280) and Kyoto Matcha (HK$ 300). Made with carefully selected Japanese eggs and Hokkaido cream, it has a crisp, textured tart shell and a rich, velvety-smooth filling. The Kyoto Matcha flavor uses premium matcha powder from Kyoto, offering an elegant, layered tea aroma and a subtle sweet finish that perfectly balances the richness of the cheese. Generously sized, these cheese tarts are ideal for bringing back to the office to share with colleagues or serving as a surprise dessert at a gathering with close friends.
