This is such a uniquely designed dessert cafe. The name says it all. But they not only serve desserts there’s paninis, sandwiches, salads, ice cream, teas and lattes. The ambiance of dessert selections as well as dessert presentation is just amazing. There’s something all for flavor profiles plus gluten free and vegan options. Our favs are the lemon bar, cheesecake brownie, macadamia nut cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, strawberry vegan scone, salted caramel cheesecake and carrot cake. I would definitely recommend this place especially when looking to satisfy that sweet tooth. Cons- parking and staff( it depends on the day and person, because some staff are extremely pleasant while others act if you bothering them at their JOB). Overall positive experience.

This chocolate strudel was something else. It’s colossal compared to any that came before! I couldn’t even finish the decadent delight. Decorated with brownie chucks, a strawberry, and rose pedals? Extra for sure, but I enjoyed nonetheless! This place is loud, sure, but I’m here for the desserts, not the set piece! My home is quiet enough, but lacks the delicious array of sweet things all about the joint. There’s also ample seating too, so I can sit in the corner all by my lonesome.

I didn't like the staff's attitude/service, they were a bit rude with their answers... There wasn't a lot of people because it was early so I think they should have a better way to treat customers. I asked for an iced tea but they didn't pay attention and just gave me the tea pot with hot water -I ordered the same in the other store so I know iced tea is available. Unfortunately a lot of their gluten free options have coconut, I wish they have variety. Place is bigger than the other store but I would definitely recommend the other one over this one. I went with three people and at the end only two of us liked the overall experience/desserts.

Hey dessert lovers, make a note of this amazing place. It is by far the BEST dessert place I have experienced in the US. I bought 10 different desserts from here to sample with a group of friends with a selective palate and all of them liked each dessert. The presentation as well as the flavors were divine. I would say the prices are also reasonable for the quality and the experience you receive. I will revisit and recommend this place to others for sure!

Lo siento, no hablo bien, voy a usar ingles. The cakes that they make are incredible but very elaborate, very sweet, very delicious, and definitely very expensive for a cake. In my opinion they are worth it though. I could be wrong but I think a whole cake would be around $50, maybe more.
