I've been curious about this place since it opened up a few months ago - who is Leah of the tasteful typeface and list of ingredients scrolling along the bottom of the window?
I finally made a stop and was charmed by the beautiful displays of sweets. The hand written labels are a nice touch. I tried the lovely carrot muffin (elevated in style by the brown parchment paper muffin cup). The mushroom meringue was enjoyable - I'm not a fan of meringues in general and bought it only because it was so cute. The lemon square was just the right balance of tart and sweet.
The prices are as you would expect from a boutiquey dessert joint and with the many coffee and dessert places down the street there are plenty of people in the hood ready to treat themselves to a $3 square or cookie - myself included since I seem to consistently mess up desserts when I try to make them.
They have a shiny behemoth of an espresso machine behind the counter so I'll have to try the coffee next time. Definitely warrants a return trip - I can picture myself stopping in on a beautiful day with a couple girlfriends then taking our treats around the corner to picnic at the Wychwood Barns.
