Café Est! Est! in Tokyo is definitely not a place to even look at if you’re on a diet. The café takes a pretty extreme approach to its desserts, quite literally, since the diners may be in danger of having perilous sweets topple over onto them, since they are stacked sky-high.
The ice cream sundaes are served with a few more scoops than usual, including several cones that have been stacked on on top of the other. Similarly outrageous desserts from Café Est! Est! include parfaits topped with whole cake slices and the signature 'EST 48,' which is a sundae that towers at about 48 centimetres, or 18 inches high.
If you’ve got a big appetite and are really indecisive about choosing your ice cream toppings, Café Est! Est! is heaven, since you can literally have your cake and eat it too — just stack it on top of a sundae.
