| - Holy moly the Sweet Basil sorbet and the Chocolate Hazelnut cheesecake are incredible! The Sweet Basil sorbet is the perfect marriage of basil and sugar as a frozen delight. It reminded me of absinthe since it's herbal and poured over sugar cubes before it's served. And the Chocolate Cheesecake was very rich and decadent!
We also ordered the Chocolate Walnut Cookie and the Red Velvet Cake but both were not memorable. The Chocolate Walnut cookie was hard on the outside but had a molten chocolate center, maybe it's for some, but not for me, I prefer an overall soft cookie. The Red Velvet did not have the distinct Red Velvet flavor which is usually comprised of cocoa powder, vinegar, and buttermilk. The flavor just tasted like a generic white cake.
The building is wonderful. There's a pizzeria at one end, and at the other is the grocery store which has coffee, gelato, baked goods, among things you can buy for the home.
Outside, they even have marble picnic tables in case you want to eat outside. Lovely set up.
I will be back to try the pizzeria, and to order the Sweet Basil sorbet again!
