We booked Dufflet's dining area for a private party. Cutest little private area with big windows and natural light. The staff were extemely accomodating and flexible given that we would be occupying the space for a couple of hours. We ordered a couple platters of pastries, as well as a chocolate layer cake with buttercream frosting and fondant decoration. The cake was absolutely beautiful, customized to our request and it tasted absolutely wonderful. The cake evoked memories of a chocolate layer cake from childhood where I have never been able to find a replacement. The frosting was the perfect consistency, not to heavy or light, nor too buttery or sweet, which was good since the chocolate was so delicious. It was one of those moments when all I could say was "Mmmmmmmm" after taking the first bite. There were so many pastries to try. Rave reviews from my friends about the lemon tart and chocolate eclairs. I had a chocolate mousse tart which was also good, where you taste the cocoa and not too much sugar. I'm sure there was plenty since I was on a high for the rest of the evening. That did not stop me from picking up a few items for the week. The display case just had so many lovely things to choose from!
We paid just over $30/person for the party. It's a great option compared to something like high tea. We had plenty to eat and drink, with the comfort of a private area and freedom to run the party as needed. Thanks Dufflet!
