Moonlight Cake House has always been in the limelight for Johoreans whenever their belly begs for cake. From modest to magnificent, there are assorted cakes whipped out fresh daily. Their lemon cheesecake is among the quickest to run out. Slithering through the velvety filling and the crust base is heavenly and is known to cause severe addiction. The wedge of lemon is perhaps to ease the job of the staffs to identify the cake as it’s tucked between clusters of confectionaries. But we squeezed it over for an additional dose of tanginess.

This simple and casual restaurant has been around for years, dishing up scrumptious Western and Italian fare that is reasonable too. Be sure to store some space as they also serve a slew of delectable desserts that score in presentation and taste. Among the best sellers are their Lemon Cheesecake, done to perfection, it just melts upon tapping on your tongue, sans any lumpiness. 

This eatery is a heaven for cupcake lovers; every little gem is so adorable and photogenic.

GCafe is truly a one-of-a-kind cafe. Stepping aside from hipster-ish and heavily enhanced eateries, this restaurant is filled with plush sofas, brick walls, and elegant lightings, giving a homey feel, a posh home to be precise.

This imposing eatery is known to be an institution of cakes and pastries. Be amazed by the interior, it’s not your common bakery or cake shop, it’s embellished to spell elegance at every corner. Salted egg yolk croissant tops the billing but if you need another reason to visit, lemon cheesecake is your best bet. Dense, creamy and absolutely yummy – the cracker crust, lemon and cheese filling and lemon curd roof are spot-on, be it texture and taste. All you need is a good cuppa by the side and you’re in seventh heaven. 

White chocolate. Lemon. Cheese. Cake. Put them all together and you have a slice of heaven before you. And if you need one that is flawlessly executed, hop over to Doi Chaang Coffee, a popular brand from Thailand, tucked in Johor Bahru City Square. Mind-blowingly good, the melted white chocolate brilliantly binds together with the citrus and creamy flavour and the result is not cloyingly sweet. Just a blink of an eye and your plate is sparklingly clean. Are you still calorie counting? Just grab your second or third slice. 

Are you tired of cheese? Okay, let’s put it another way. Do you want to taste a pure lemon cake? Of course, you do. Make your way to Sweet Blossom Coffee Roasters, their lemon cake and aromatic coffees are as good as the name of the joint. Expect a lively and vibrant backdrop and young baristas who have latte art up their sleeves. The cake is moist, spongy and bursts to the fore with citrusy and sweet overtones. A lovely lemony treat that wins over your loyalty.
