| - I have never been to the Dean & Deluca, located towards the front of Stonecrest, but I am so glad I made a stop last night for some sweet treats.
After dinner at Smashburger, I decided to check out Dean & Deluca and see what they have to offer. All of the employees that I encountered were extremely friendly and helpful. Within the shop they have wines, salads (potato, tuna, chicken, pasta), packaged items such as nuts and pretzels, I saw pizza boxes, so I am assuming they do pizza - but what I was looking for was some dessert. Holy cow, do they have desserts! Cakes, cheesecake, cupcakes, tarts, chocolates - amazing. The have whole cakes, but most of the choices were single servings. I chose a vanilla cupcake, which was meh - cake had the taste of a poundcake, but slightly lighter, but it was dry and not terribly good. Icing was fine, but not in my top 5 of cupcake choices. It was late in the evening, so it was probably fresher that morning. My other choice was a pumpkin pecan bar and it was excellent (eaten the day after purchase after spending the night in the fridge). Good pumpkin flavor with plenty of pecans, nice crust that held together well. So rich though - it was hard to finish. I also picked up a Beef Jerky chocolate bar (WHAT?!) for my boss who likes interesting eats.
Wine by the glass. Nice seating area with high top tables/chairs. One side was more of the deli/food service, while the other was wine and desserts. Lovely, clean space and I am looking forward to returning to try more.
