A popular cake shop in Ogaki City, Roi et Reine, is set to move to a new location by the end of April 2025. This relocation has excited both regulars and newcomers, as the shop promises to enhance its offerings and maintain its signature charm.
On March 17, 2025, a visit to the existing location allowed for a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere filled with the sweet aroma of freshly baked goodies. Adorned with jewel-like cakes and pastries, the shop sparked delight in the hearts of its visitors—a strong indication of its beloved status among the community.
The new store will be situated in Nishizhikawa-cho, right next to the Ogaki Women's Junior College, making it easily accessible for students and locals alike. The anticipation is high as the new location is expected to open its doors to customers sometime between late April and early May 2025, according to the shop's owner and pastry chef, Shinya Hirano.
As the current location gears up for its final days, it will cease operations on March 31, 2025, at 7:00 PM. Reports from this visit indicated that cakes on display were still made with lots of fresh ingredients, reflecting the shop's commitment to quality.
In addition to its signature cakes, the new Roi et Reine will introduce gelato to its menu. Hirano expressed enthusiasm about this addition, stating, "I have always wanted to offer gelato. By directly partnering with farmers, we can acquire unique fruits not typically found in the market, which we will process to deliver to our customers." This gelato will feature eight flavors made from fruits sourced from Gifu Prefecture, promising a delightful addition to the dessert lineup.
The new store's gelato will be introduced shortly after the opening, and regular customers need not worry about loyalty—point cards will still be valid at the new location, ensuring a seamless transition for devoted patrons.
As the current shop prepares for closure, there’s a palpable buzz among loyal customers eager to see what’s in store at the new venue. With construction underway, the new shop is actively being prepared and promises not only to preserve the character that people have come to love but also to innovate with exciting new options.
Anyone wishing to experience the charming atmosphere and delectable goods prior to the move is encouraged to visit the existing location. Roi et Reine has long been a staple in Ogaki City, and its upcoming transition seems to be a positive step for both the business and its dedicated clientele.
