Leave it to this place to get me to emerge out of my Yelp review hibernation of at least three-ish years!! I just have to share the joy of finally experiencing this place after years of keeping it on my bookmarks.
My friend and I arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday night and there were only two other people sitting at the bar. We were greeted by the friendly staff and were given the menu of featured desserts for that particular day. I'm not sure if the menu is daily, weekly, or seasonal.
I can only describe this place as a true feast for the senses. As soon as you walk in you can smell the butter, flour, and sugar aroma. Then you sit down and watch the workers prepare the desserts. Everything they do is meticulous and well organized. It's a small space they are working from but you can see they all work in sync with each other and get the job done in this sort of rhythmic, fluid motion. Definitely a feast for the eyes to see. When they drop your dessert they give you the description of what you're about to enjoy. You look at the dish with heart-eyes and start to feel bad that you are going to destroy this work of art they just prepared for you.
As soon as you take that first bite, all feelings of any kind of guilt will disappear. You're already thinking about when your next cheat-day will be because you can't wait to come back here and try the other desserts you saw the patrons next to you order. And you'll start thinking of the people you'll want to bring here that will totally appreciate this one-of-kind experience.
Make sure you have a good amount of battery life and storage on your phone because you don't want to be like me and have a dead phone. So many great photo and video opportunities here.
If you're not much of a dessert person, they do offer some savory dishes to order from. This is a place that is definitely worth cheating on your diet for and also writing home (or Yelp) about. It's good to be back.
