| - I'm just going to dive right in with this one. I really adored the Cafe Mocha cake ball. The lemon was pretty good as well. I'm quite enthusiastic about bite sized cakes/pastries/cookies so these were right up my alley. The s'more's potstickers were good, but then again, who wouldn't like deep fried chocolate goodness?
My coworker shared her truffle tots with me and they were quite delish. Not quite what I would order but I'm not a truffle fanatic. They were the deluxe order so it was topped with bacon and a fried egg. She really enjoyed them but commented, "The sauce was a bit over powering." I was all about the garlic fries. I think the creamy sauce and the slivers of garlic are what did it for me.
Now I bet you are thinking, "What about buns, when are you going to get to the buns, isn't that what their name sake is?" The buns, hmm ... I frankly have to say "I think they need work." I showed up thinking I was going to score some soft fluffy Filipino siopao the size of softballs cut in half like my mom makes. Image my surprise when I lift this small palm sized muffin top out of the box. And even though it was savory (the Bacon Bird) it was coated with a sweet sticky glaze ?? The dough, not bad a little heavy, the filling flavorful but dry instead of creamy. I also think that they needed to be a little more golden brown on the top. These were as pale as Louis in Interview with the Vampire.
So in all, not a bad jaunt to try something new. At the very least, if I see them around town, I will pop over for some fries and cake balls. If I could, I would give 3.5 stars just for the fact that they had Coke made with Cane Sugar in the Glass Bottles!
