Okay, so I had this CRAVING for green tea cake the other day. You know, that fluffy, slightly bitter, but totally addictive kind? I just had to find some nearby. So, I grabbed my phone and started my quest.

Operation: Find Green Tea Cake

First, I did a quick search. You know, just typed in “green tea cake near me” and hoped for the best. The usual suspects popped up – a few local bakeries, some cafes, even a couple of grocery stores.

• Local Bakeries: I checked out a few of their websites, but honestly, most of them didn’t even have pictures, let alone a guarantee they had green tea cake that day!
• Cafes: These were a little more promising. Some had online menus, and a couple actually mentioned green tea cake. But still, I wanted to be sure.
• Grocery stores: It is my last choice. I don’t want any kind of cake added too much.

Then I used the map to search, I zoomed in on my area and started virtually “walking” down the streets, looking for any promising storefronts.

I saw a small bakery, and the reviews were amazing. I decided to try it, I drove to the bakery.

Guess what? Success! I found it！I finally got my green tea cake! I grabbed a slice (okay, maybe two) and practically inhaled it. It was SO worth the search.
