| - 4.5 stars!
I love this place - I've been here twice and ordered differently both times. I was more than satisfied on each occasion and have already highly recommended it to my friends!
My past orders (including dining partners):
Hawaiian Breeze Hot Chocolate: 4.5
Crispy Pearls Hot Chocolate: 4
Simple Joy (I think - it was the banana and custard crepe): 4
Dunk n Dark: 4.5
Banana Split: 4.5
Brioche: 3.5 (gelato was amazing, could care less for the brioche itself).
It's a very small, but really well kept and decorated place on lakeshore in Mississauga. They have live music and live jazz on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, but besides that, they are a pretty quiet place for a nice date. They also have lunch buffets during weekday lunch hours. It seemed alright, but I haven't tried it or any of their savoury food for that matter (they have a surprisingly plentiful selection of savoury food).
I found that their larger desserts (anything not in a jar or on a stick) are definitely shareable. I would recommend that if you get their larger desserts, then either don't get a hot chocolate or share one, or share the dessert and get individual hot chocolates - I found it was much too indulgent to solo both! Coffee might be a better match, or a smaller dessert with hot chocolate. This is good quality chocolate and it's quite heavy.
Their gelato (do not miss the salted caramel, hazelnut, almond or chocolate) and Belgium chocolate (white, dark, milk) are to DIE FOR. I don't think just any dessert place would do anymore after trying this place! I haven't tried their cakes or macarons yet but I'm pretty excited to go back and do so. Their crepes are just the right consistency and plating is so gorgeous! I've also yet to try the waffles, but they looked phenomenal.
One thing I docked points off for was that the waitress, albeit meant in a helpful way, offered to microwave our hot chocolates should they get cold and too sweet. I found that a little off-putting and amateur/unprofessional. I believe they should either change their recipe for the hot chocolate to avoid the gradual sweetness overload, and perhaps warm their hot chocolates up more to begin with. It was a nice gesture, but in the hospitality business, microwaving is a big no-no. She was sweet nonetheless, but I believe she should leave that bit out when serving customers.
All that being said, I adore this place! Even the way they serve napkins is very cool (won't ruin the surprise). It's clean, friendly and delicious. The portions are shareable, and the desserts I've tried have been quite indulgent/heavy, although hauntingly memorable, so be mindful of that when ordering.
CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!
