We have been eyeing the corner of West Broadway and Cambie for when a new specialty shop Pablo Cheese Tart will open.
We saw it open last weekend, but was on our way home so today before heading to the movies downtown we stopped by to try their Japanese-style cheese tart.
First, the crust is not as flaky as Portuguese tarts. It's more like a pie crust? Or maybe the crust of quiche. The filling is also creamier than expected.
We tried four available mini cheese tart flavours:
- Chocolate Mini
- Matcha Mini
- Blueberry Mini
- Roasted Chocolate Almond Marshmallow Mini
My favourite is the matcha because of the strong matcha (green tea) bitter flavour which is such a great contrast to the sweet crust.

The Roasted Chocolate Almond Marshmallow Mini Cheese Tart is such a messy thing to eat! It has a good gooey chocolate flavour topped with roasted marshmallow anf almond. It's like an elevated s'more.
I'll happily order the Matcha Mini Cheese Tart again. I recommend dropping by Pablo to try the many different flavours. The store smelled so good too.
