Asian Cheese Tart Craze Now in OC
One of Asia’s hottest dessert trends just landed in the U.S.: Bear Cheese Tart brings its melt-in-your-mouth treats to Union Market at The District in Tustin.
The Hokkaido-style baked cheese tarts – already a sensation in Japan, Malaysia and Australia – are palm-sized pastries made with cream cheese, set in a crisp shortcrust shell for a creamy treat that’s not too sweet, with a hint of savory.

The tarts can be served chilled, at room temperature or warm.
Beverages available include Rose Black Tea and Jasmine Green Tea.
