| - Had gone out to dinner in the east side of downtown, and on the way home, decided we should stop somewhere for dessert. It is NOT easy finding a bakery / cafe (no, Starbucks and Tim's do not count) open on a Friday night, but thanks to the trusty Yelp app, we found Roselle was open until 11pm and fairly nearby.
Off we went to look for Roselle. Having heard excellent reviews, but rarely venturing to the east side of downtown, it took us a while to notice the small storefront. Inside was packed! There was a line-up to order, and all the tables (all four of them) were taken. We decided to take-out.
The 70% dark chocolate ganache cake ($7.50) was a perfect hit of chocolate. The ganache was smooth, but punctured by little crunchy bits. This in itself would have been enough to share between two of us because it's very rich. But well, we had also ordered a lemon tart ($6.50) and a salted dark chocolate cookie ($2.50), so had to soldier on! The latter two items were good, but did not satisfy in the same way as the chocolate ganache cake, which was the star!
Service was super friendly...almost too friendly. Someone behind the counter took our order immediately, but the group in front of us was chatting with the owner (thus holding up the till). Despite our stuff being packed up and ready, we had to wait until they finished chatting and paid for their order before we could pay.
We overheard, from the chat between the group in front of us and the owner, that they are open until Dec 24, 2016, then will be closed for vacation until January 17, 2017.
